Terms of service

This frontend draft establishes basic service boundaries but must be reviewed by a qualified legal professional before use.

Nature of the service

PublicationOrbit is presented as an independent editorial and publication-support provider. It is not a journal, indexing database or representative of a third-party publisher.

No publication guarantee

Editorial decisions are controlled by independent journals. PublicationOrbit cannot guarantee review, acceptance, indexing, publication dates or citation outcomes.

Author responsibility

Authors remain responsible for research integrity, factual accuracy, ethical approval, authorship, originality, disclosures and final submission decisions.

Scope and revisions

Each project should have a written scope describing files, service level, delivery dates, revision entitlement, exclusions and fees.

Intellectual property and confidentiality

Ownership and licence terms should preserve author rights and clearly define the limited processing required to deliver the service.

Payments, cancellation and refunds

The final terms should state quotation validity, payment milestones, cancellation rights, refund conditions and dispute procedures.

Important notice

This page is a design-ready template rather than legal advice. It must be adapted to the registered business, governing law and actual service operation.
