  1. Registration on the Platform
    1. A Registered User of the Platform is a User who completes the Platform registration procedure completed with the successful creation of an account, which is defined by the relevant WhitePress Platform Terms and Conditions.
       
    2. "Copywriter" means a Platform User to whom WhitePress, upon request, assigns the role of Copywriter who develops articles and other content commissioned by WhitePress.
       
    3. "Profile" means an extracted set of information within a registered account on the Platform about a person who develops content within the assigned role of Copywriter.
       
    4. The User using the Platform is obliged:
      1. to use the Platform in a manner which does not interfere with its functionality;
      2. to use the Platform in a manner that is not disruptive to other Users and WhitePress, and to refrain from any action that may cause harm to other Platform Users or WhitePress;
      3. not to provide or transmit on the Platform any content of an unlawful nature;
      4. not to send or post unsolicited commercial information on the Platform.
       
    5. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions is voluntary but necessary in order to assign the role of Copywriter to a User's account.
       
    6. A Copywriter can only have one account on the Platform. The final decision to assign the role of Copywriter to a given User is made independently by WhitePress.
       
    7. Once the User has been assigned the role of Copywriter, they should complete the information regarding the services they provide within the Profile, including information regarding the subject matter of the articles they write and other content they create, as well as other information indicated by WhitePress, such as, for example, their education, experience, portfolio, description of services, as well as the proposed pricing terms for the various services they provide.
       
    8. The Copywriter undertakes to keep the data provided in the Profile and in the User's account up to date. All communication from WhitePress will be based on the contact details currently provided in the User's account, which means that any consequences of failing to update these details are the responsibility of the Copywriter.
       
    9. In the event of doubts about the information provided by the Copywriter, WhitePress may require the Copywriter to complete, correct, update the information or provide additional data, documents proving the veracity of the data provided in the form and timeframe specified by WhitePress, under penalty of suspension or deletion of the Copywriter's Profile.
       
    10. A Copywriter's Profile may be removed or suspended by WhitePress without any prejudice if WhitePress determines that the Copywriter:
      1. violates the provisions of these Rules or the law;
      2. fails to perform its duties in a proper manner, which in particular refers to the fulfilment of the Copywriter's obligations to perform the services, to communicate with WhitePress in a timely manner;
      3. provided false or incomplete data.
       
    11. If WhitePress decides to delete a Copywriter's Profile, WhitePress shall inform the Copywriter.
       
  2. Ordering content
    1. WhitePress, through the functionality of the Platform, commissions the Copywriter to develop content (sponsored articles, product descriptions, advertising texts and others).
       
    2. The ordering of content is carried out in such a way that WhitePress directly selects the Copywriter it wishes to entrust with the production of the chosen content, indicating its subject matter, specifications, detailed guidelines and deadline, and the Copywriter is notified via the Platform's functionality that it has been commissioned to prepare the content.
       
    3. The Copywriter shall be entitled to refuse the order, of which he/she shall immediately inform WhitePress. In the event of the Copywriter's inactivity on the Platform after an order has been assigned, WhitePress shall have the right to remove the order granted at its sole discretion.
       
    4. The content created by the Copywriter that is the subject of the order must have unique characteristics and the Copywriter, by posting the developed content on the Platform, undertakes and declares that the content has not been written by the Copywriter using tools based on content generators - in particular using artificial intelligence (OpenAI, Chat GTP or other similar tools).
       
    5. The moment of fulfilment of a given order is deemed to be the moment of acceptance of the order communicated by the Copywriter via the relevant functionalities of the Platform by WhitePress or by the WhitePress end-customer for whom the content is being realised.
       
    6. The Copywriter is entitled to remuneration for the correct execution of the assignment given, in the amount indicated in the Copywriter's price list, specified within the Copywriter Profile for the type of content in question.
       
    7. The Copywriter undertakes, for a period of 6 months from the date of undertaking an order for a given Advertiser, not to contact the Advertiser outside the Platform and not to provide the Advertiser with services of the same nature outside the Platform.
  3. Licence
    1. As part of the services provided, the Copywriter grants WhitePress a licence to use the content created on behalf of WhitePress, which occurs as part of the remuneration for the assignment. The Copywriter is not entitled to separate remuneration for granting the licence.

    3. The licence is granted in perpetuity and without territorial restrictions.
       
    4. The licence also includes the right of WhitePress to grant further sub-licences. The Copywriter agrees not to use the content licensed to WhitePress in any activity, either commercially (for profit) or non-commercially.
       
    5. The Copywriter declares that all content he makes available in the course of providing his services is of his own authorship, is of an individual and creative nature, and that he has full and unrestricted copyright in the content and is exclusively entitled to decide how to exercise his subsidiary and moral rights in the content.
       
  4. Settlement rules
    1. The Copywriter shall receive remuneration for services rendered, including the licensing of content, payable under the terms of these Terms and Conditions.
       
    2. If the order is correctly completed, WhitePress credits the account on the Platform with the remuneration amount indicated in the order.
       
    3. The Copywriter, on his or her own and at a time of his or her own choosing, orders the withdrawal of funds accumulated in the account.
       
    4. Payment will be made by bank transfer to the Copywriter's bank account indicated by the Copywriter during account registration. The day of payment is considered to be the day on which WhitePress' bank account is debited with the full settlement amount.
       
    5. Copywriters, on account of the remuneration paid to them, shall be obliged to settle and pay public law dues (payment of taxes and other public law liabilities) themselves, unless the law imposes such an obligation on WhitePress. WhitePress shall, in such a case, be entitled to reduce the amount paid by the necessary costs of such public law dues (including the deduction of withholding tax, if applicable).
       
    6. Notwithstanding point 4.5 above, if WhitePress, as part of the remuneration due to the Copywriters, will be a payer of income tax (other public law liabilities), then this fact shall not increase the remuneration due to the Copywriter, which means that the remuneration is gross remuneration, unless VAT is applicable to the Copywriter's remuneration. In such a case, the Copywriter is obliged to provide WhitePress with all the information necessary for WhitePress to calculate the amount and payment of the public law liabilities.
       
    7. WhitePress and the Copywriter authorise each other to use electronic invoices. If the Copywriter is not obliged to issue VAT invoices, then billing is carried out based on the invoices issued by WhitePress on behalf of the Copywriter and generated based on the functionality of the Platform.
       
    8. The Copywriter is not authorised to make any independent settlements with the Advertiser for any services provided under these Terms and Conditions.
       
  5. Final provisions
    1. Any pre-existing agreements between the Copywriter and WhitePress shall terminate on the date of acceptance of these Terms and Conditions by the Copywriter and shall be superseded by the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
       
    2. Any disputes between the Copywriter and WhitePress will be resolved amicably and, if no agreement is reached, will be referred to a court with jurisdiction over WhitePress' registered office.
       
    3. WhitePress shall have the right to amend these Terms and Conditions for valid reasons. The Copywriter will be informed of changes to the Terms and Conditions at least 7 days in advance.
       
    4. Any matters not covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the provisions of the relevant WhitePress Platform Terms and Conditions, accepted by the Copywriter at the time of creation of the User's account on the Platform.

    5. This clause applies solely to Copywriters who conduct business with WhitePress Publishing Ltd in the United Kingdom or Australia and are therefore subject to the applicable national legislation, including the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth).

      The Copywriter declares and warrants that their operations comply with all relevant laws and regulations prohibiting modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
