Content Contribution Agreement

This agreement applies to users who submit cases, questions, article information, report/text examples, comments or similar content ("Contribution"). It is accepted with a checkbox before submitting.

1. Your statements

• The Contribution is original or you have the right to share it; you have not copied anyone else's work without permission.
• Patient privacy: the Contribution contains nothing that could identify a real patient (name, ID or record number, date of birth, address, facial image, or indirect identifiers such as a rare disease combined with institution and date). Images have been passed through the anonymisation tool.
• Case sharing complies with your institution's rules and, where required, the patient's consent.
• If parts were prepared with AI, you have declared this with the checkbox on the form.
• For questions: the question is not copied from another source (question bank, book, exam).

2. Rights you grant

• You keep ownership of the Contribution.
• You grant the Platform a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to publish, reproduce, translate and edit the Contribution (format, language and medical accuracy), to use it in training questions and reading practice, and to use it to improve tools and AI features.
• You may be credited as author or remain anonymous.
• If you ask us to remove your Contribution, the published version is removed within 30 days; your contribution may remain anonymously in derivative content created earlier (e.g. a translated question).

3. Editorial review

Every Contribution goes through a pre-check (format, similarity and plagiarism screening, medical concerns) and editor approval before publication. We may return it for revision or reject it with reasons.

4. Rewards

Approved Contributions earn premium time (current rules on the contribution page), e.g. an approved case, or 1 month per 15 approved questions, up to 6 months per year via questions. Rewards have no cash value and are not transferable. Rewards are withdrawn and the account may be suspended if plagiarism or false statements are found.

5. Responsibility

The contributor is responsible for any infringement of third-party rights or patient privacy caused by the Contribution. We remove content promptly when an infringement is reported.
