Submission Terms
Terms for user-submitted stories, opinions, corrections, community submissions, media uploads, and source material.
When you submit stories, opinions, corrections, community tips, media, links, or other material to Viranova, you confirm that the information you provide is honest to the best of your knowledge and that you have permission to share it.
Submissions are received in raw form for editorial review. Viranova may verify, moderate, edit, decline, archive, or request more information before deciding whether anything should be published.
Submitting material does not guarantee publication, payment, partnership, credit, removal, correction, or a particular editorial outcome. Viranova may contact you to verify details or clarify context.
Where the form allows it, you may ask to be credited by your real name, an alias, or anonymously. Viranova may still need your real contact details privately for verification, safety, rights, or editorial accountability.
You must not submit unlawful, defamatory, hateful, threatening, private, stolen, misleading, AI-generated editorial material, infringing, malicious, spam, malware, impersonation, harassment, or unsafe content. Viranova may reject or remove submissions that create legal, safety, privacy, quality, or brand risk.
If you upload files, you confirm they are safe, allowed, and yours to submit. Public uploads are limited by file type, file count, individual file size, and total upload size. Viranova may store submitted files for review and may remove unsupported or unsafe uploads.
If a submission is approved, Viranova may edit headlines, structure, excerpts, captions, spelling, grammar, metadata, SEO fields, source references, images, and presentation while preserving the editorial meaning and legal safety of the piece.
Opinion and user-submitted stories are reviewed separately from editorial reporting. If published, they may be labelled so readers understand the source and nature of the material.
Submitted material may be kept in moderation queues, audit logs, backups, or editorial records where needed for accountability, legal safety, abuse prevention, correction history, or publishing workflow.
If a submitted story involves another person, private situation, accusation, quote, image, or sensitive claim, the submitter should provide source context and permission wherever possible.
