Legal
Terms of Service
Ownership
On full payment of the invoice, all rights in commissioned work transfer to the client. Work is white-label: we never claim authorship or disclose our involvement.
Confidentiality
Everything shared with us is confidential. We never use client material to train or prompt public AI models.
Mutual NDA
Every engagement is covered by our standard mutual NDA, signed before any brief details are shared. It covers: (1) the scope of confidential information, including the fact of our involvement; (2) use only for delivering the engagement; (3) confidentiality obligations flowing down to every assigned writer; (4) no use of client material with public AI models; (5) return or deletion of materials on request; and (6) a two-year term, governed by the laws of England and Wales. Clients may supply their own NDA for review instead. The full agreement is at ghostnodepr.com/nda.
Engagements
Scope, fees, deadlines and revision rounds are agreed in writing before work begins. Each commission includes 2 revision rounds within 10 business days of delivery (see ghostnodepr.com/revisions). Paid pilots carry no long-term commitment.
The Grid
Writer profiles are reviewed before going live. Samples must be the writer's original work or bylined pieces they have the rights to share. Work ghostwritten for clients, or covered by any confidentiality agreement, must never be posted. We may remove any profile or sample at our discretion.
Writer status
Writers on The Grid are independent self-employed contractors (or their own limited companies), wherever in the world they are based — not employees or workers of GhostNode PR Ltd. Listing a profile creates no employment relationship and no obligation on either side to offer or accept work. Each assignment is agreed separately, case by case.
Contractor terms
Writers decide how, when and where they work, may send a suitably qualified substitute with our agreement, and are free to work for other clients. There is no entitlement to holiday pay, sick pay, pension contributions or minimum hours. Writers are responsible for their own income tax, social contributions and VAT (where registered) with their local tax authority (HMRC for UK-based writers), and invoice GhostNode PR Ltd for completed work.
Sponsorships
Weekly sponsor lines run for the agreed calendar week (Monday to Sunday, UTC). Readership figures shown on the site are aggregate estimates for general guidance and do not guarantee any number of impressions, clicks or conversions. Card payments are authorised when you book and only captured once your slot is approved; if it is not approved, the authorisation is released and you are not charged.
Reader tips
Tips to writers on GhostNode News go directly to the writer through their own payment links (such as Wise, Revolut, PayPal, Ko-fi or a crypto address). GhostNode takes 0%, does not process or hold tip funds, and is not party to the payment.
Automated access and AI training
You may not scrape, crawl, bulk-copy, reverse-engineer or systematically extract content, data or tool outputs from this site — including writer profiles, articles and the Anti-Vocabulary™ dictionary and its scan results — or use any of it to train, fine-tune, evaluate or build machine-learning or AI models or datasets, without our prior written consent. Search engines and AI answer services may index public pages under our robots.txt rules to show summaries, citations and links back to the site. We may block or suspend access that breaches this clause.
Liability
We take care to verify facts, but final approval and publication decisions rest with the client.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
