Credit and ownership terms
Version 1. You agree to these each time you start writing in someone else's book.
- The book belongs to its author. The person who started the book owns its idea, title, characters and plan, and decides what goes into it.
- Your words are your own work. You confirm that what you write here is original to you, and is not copied from anyone else or produced in a way that breaks someone else's rights.
- You will be credited. Every section you write is recorded against your name, with the date, and you are named as its writer wherever the book is shown or downloaded on Collaborwriter.
- The author may use your section in the book. You give the author permission to include your section in the book, and to edit it or ask someone else to carry it on.
- If you pass a section on, your draft stays. The next writer may build on it. You remain recorded as having contributed.
- Money is agreed separately. Collaborwriter is free and nobody is paid through it. If a book is ever to be sold or published commercially, the author and its writers should agree terms between themselves, in writing, first.
Collaborwriter keeps a dated record of who wrote and changed what, which either of you can rely on.
