Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of the Research Thread website and services. By using our site or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. This is a template for demonstration and should be reviewed by your legal counsel before launch.
Our services
Research Thread provides research publication support, including writing collaboration, editing, journal submission, peer-review management, and related consultation. The specific scope of any engagement is agreed with you in advance.
Academic integrity
We support authentic, original research. We provide collaborative development, editing, and guidance — you remain the author and retain responsibility for the integrity of your work and for complying with your institution’s policies.
We do not guarantee publication or acceptance, as final decisions rest with journals, reviewers, and relevant authorities.
Your responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate information, to hold the necessary rights to any materials you share, and to use our services in good faith and in line with applicable academic and legal standards.
Fees & payment
Fees, deliverables, and timelines for any engagement are agreed in writing before work begins. Payment terms are set out in your individual service agreement.
Intellectual property
You retain ownership of your research and final manuscript. Our website content, branding, and materials remain the property of Research Thread.
Limitation of liability
Our services are provided in good faith and to a professional standard. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the fees paid for the relevant engagement. We are not an immigration law firm and do not provide legal advice.
