Insights Contributor Submission Terms

1. Submission and editorial discretion

These terms apply when you submit an article, interview, commentary, image, chart, video, biography or other content (“Contribution”) for possible publication through e-nviroGreen Insights.

Submission does not guarantee acceptance or publication. e-nviroGreen Inc. may review, fact-check, edit, shorten, format, schedule, decline, remove or archive a Contribution in its editorial discretion.

2. Ownership and licence

You retain ownership of your original Contribution. You grant e-nviroGreen Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to reproduce, edit, adapt, format, translate, publish, display, distribute, archive and promote the Contribution, in whole or in part, through our Website, social media, newsletters, presentations and related channels.

This licence includes the right to create excerpts, headlines, summaries and promotional graphics. We will not sell ownership of your Contribution to another publisher without separate agreement.

3. Attribution

We may publish your name, title, organization, biography, photograph and relevant links as provided or approved by you. We may omit or modify attribution for formatting, legal or editorial reasons. You must tell us if your organization requires approval of affiliation references.

4. No payment unless separately agreed

Contributions are unpaid unless e-nviroGreen Inc. agrees otherwise in writing before submission or publication. Publication does not create employment, agency, partnership or entitlement to royalties, fees or other compensation.

5. Your warranties

You confirm that:

• you created the Contribution or have all permissions necessary to submit and license it;

• it does not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, confidentiality, publicity or other rights;

• it is not defamatory, deceptive, discriminatory, unlawful or knowingly false;

• any quotations, data, certifications, studies, images and third-party material are accurately attributed and used with required permission;

• any commercial relationship, sponsorship, conflict of interest or material connection relevant to the topic has been disclosed;

• any environmental, technical or performance claim can be reasonably substantiated; and

• you have not submitted confidential client, employer or project information without authority.

6. AI-assisted content

You must disclose material use of generative AI in preparing text, images, data or citations. You remain responsible for originality, accuracy, permissions and verification. We may reject content that contains fabricated sources, undisclosed synthetic media, plagiarism or unreliable claims.

7. Editing and approval

We may make reasonable editorial changes. For material substantive changes, we will ordinarily seek confirmation before publication where practicable. Formatting, spelling, grammar, length, headline and house-style changes may be made without separate approval.

8. Removal and withdrawal

You may request withdrawal before publication. After publication, we may consider correction, updating or removal requests, but cannot guarantee removal from archives, search-engine caches, newsletters, social platforms or materials already distributed.

9. Privacy and communications

Personal information associated with a Contribution is handled under our Privacy Policy. We may contact you about editing, publication, promotion and related operational matters. Marketing consent is optional and separate.

10. Liability and indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for claims arising from a material breach of your warranties or from content you were not authorized to submit. e-nviroGreen Inc. is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from acceptance, editing, publication, non-publication or removal of a Contribution.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Ontario law and applicable federal Canadian law, subject to non-waivable rights. Questions may be sent to legal@e-nvirogreen.com.
