Guest Post Agreement

This Guest Post Agreement (the "Agreement") is made between Elena Daehnhardt (daehnhardt.com) and the person who submits a guest post through the upload form (the "Guest Post Writer"). The Agreement takes effect on the date of the submission (the "Effective Date"), as recorded in the submission itself.

Introduction

The Blog Creator is the owner and operator of the daehnhardt.com blog (the "Elena's AI Blog" or the "Blog"), which focuses on topics related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and coding, including AI applications.

The Guest Post Writer is an expert in technical writing, AI and coding and wishes to contribute an AI-relevant guest post to the Blog.

Guest Post Submission and Review

2.1 Content Specifications: The Guest Post Writer agrees to provide original and relevant content related to AI and coding, including AI applications, AI ethics, and AI case studies for the Blog (the "Guest Post"). The Guest Post should be informative, well-researched, and free from plagiarism or copyright violations.

2.2 Topic and Format: The Guest Post Writer shall propose a topic to the Blog Creator before initiating the writing process. The final topic and content shall be subject to approval by the Blog Creator. The agreed-upon topic and format shall be documented via email or any other written communication for reference.

2.3 Editorial Review: The Blog Creator reserves the right to review and edit the Guest Post for clarity, coherence, and adherence to the Blog's editorial guidelines while maintaining the original intent and message of the content.

Intellectual Property Rights

3.1 Guest Post Ownership: The Guest Post Writer acknowledges that all rights, title, and interest in the Guest Post, including any intellectual property rights, shall be transferred to the Blog Creator upon submitting and accepting the Guest Post. The Guest Post Writer agrees not to publish the same or substantially similar content elsewhere without the explicit written consent of the Blog Creator.

3.2 Author Photo: Providing an author photo is optional. When the Guest Post Writer provides one, the Guest Post Writer agrees that it may be published with the Guest Post next to the author bio, and that the Blog Creator may crop, resize, and remove metadata from it. The Blog Creator will remove the photo from the Blog on request. When no photo is provided, a default avatar is used.

3.3 Cover Image: The Blog Creator creates the cover image and thumbnail for the Guest Post in the style of the Blog, and the final choice of images rests with the Blog Creator. The Guest Post Writer may suggest an image or provide their own. Before publication, the Blog Creator shares the cover image with the Guest Post Writer, who may ask for one round of changes. The Blog Creator will address a reasonable objection, for example when the image misrepresents the topic of the Guest Post.

3.4 Images Provided by the Guest Post Writer: Any image, screenshot, or figure that the Guest Post Writer provides must be their own work, or be used with the right to do so. The Guest Post Writer states the source and the licence of each such image in the submission, adds alternative text for it, and agrees that it may be published on the Blog. The Blog Creator may replace a provided cover image with another one.

3.5 Attribution: The Blog Creator shall provide proper attribution to the Guest Post Writer by including their name and a brief author bio at the end of the Guest Post, along with any links to the Guest Post Writer's website or social media profiles, as agreed upon.

4.1 Publication: The Blog Creator shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the Guest Post will be published on the Blog. If approved, the Blog Creator will determine the date of publication.

4.2 Freedom to Remove: The Blog Creator reserves the right to remove the Guest Post from the Blog at any time, for any reason, without prior notice to the Guest Post Writer. The Guest Post Writer acknowledges and agrees that the Blog Creator's decision to remove the Guest Post will be final.

Compensation

5.1 Non-Monetary Compensation: The Guest Post Writer acknowledges that the compensation for contributing the Guest Post will be non-monetary, and the primary benefits include exposure to the Blog's audience and the opportunity to establish credibility as an expert in the AI and coding.
