Blog Authors Organization Terms of Service
Blog Authors is designed to bring writers and existing blogs together in an
attempt to create a vast range of information for the Internet. It is our desire
to not only see the blogs succeed, but to see the chosen authors succeed as
well.
Applications
Each prospective author must fill out the online application form in order
for the Blog Authors Organization to determine which authors would work best
with each blog. The Blog Authors Organization has the right to determine whether
or not each applicant is right for the organization, and has the right to
request further information when needed.
Contracts
Each author approved for membership agrees to adhere to a probationary
contract of 30 days, wherein each applicant’s blog will be reviewed by the Blog
Author Organization’s moderators to determine whether or not said author has
maintained the blog to the best of their ability. If it is determined that said
author has complied with the 30 day probationary contract, the Blog Authors
Organization will issue a new contract to that author for a set period of time.
The Blog Authors Organization holds the right to determine what that time period
should be in cooperation with the author.
Monetary Accounts
Each approved author agrees to bring his/her own monetary accounts to the
table and agrees that said monetary accounts is how they will be compensated for
their work. Authors will agree that at no time will the Blog Authors
Organization be expected to offer further compensation. How much each author
earns will be completely up to them, and at no time will they need to divulge
such information to the Blog Authors Organization. The monetary accounts will be
agreed upon between the author and the Blog Authors Organization.
Blogs
The Blog Authors Organization agrees to provide existing blogs in an effort
to give the authors a wide variety of topics in which to write. The Organization
also agrees to take care of any technical problems, backend work, and site
designs that the Blog Authors Organization deems necessary. At no time will the
authors redesign their provided blogs, nor will they try to claim the blog as
their own. Each author acknowledges the fact that said blogs are the sole
property of the Blog Authors Organization. Each author will be issued one blog
to begin with and will be the only author on that site. After the initial 30 day
probation has ended, the author and the Blog Authors Organization may come to an
agreement as to whether said author may continue to take on the responsibility
of the assigned blog and have the option to expand their writing into multiple
blogs.
Blog Posts
Approved authors agree that the information they provide for their blog will
be of their own work. They agree that they will not at any time plagiarize the
work of any other individual or organization. Authors agree to provide 3 or 4
posts per week for their blog, and all work will be free of inappropriate
materials. If the Blog Authors Organization feels that any posts are not
appropriate, the Blog Authors Organization retains the right to remove said
work. The Blog Authors Organization agrees to contact the author with a verbal
warning for the first offence, a verbal and verified written warning for a
second offence. If for any reason there is a third offence, the Blog Authors
Organization retains the right to resend the authors contract and remove them
from the system. However, every effort will be made to rectify the problem
beforehand. Suggestive measures, coaching and training will be provided to help
prevent future violations.
Liability
If for any reason an author is dissatisfied with their contract, the author
agrees to contact one of the Blog Authors Organization moderators in order to
seek a mutual understanding and to find a solution in the most professional
manner possible. Authors agree that at no time will they hold the Blog Authors
Organization responsible for any problems, malfunctions, or acts of unforeseen
forces. The Blog Authors Organization agrees to do everything possible to aid
the authors in creating a favorable and productive work environment. All parties
involved agree to maintain a professional demeanor and will work to make the
Blog Authors Organization a proficient environment.
