1. Purpose
Classwork Squad exists to support learning, research quality, clarity, publication readiness, and responsible academic development. This policy sets the boundaries for what we can and cannot do.
Using our services means you agree to use all guidance, examples, comments, edited materials, tutoring, mentoring, and research assistance in a way that preserves your own authorship, learning, and compliance obligations.
2. Allowed Support
The following support is generally allowed when it is permitted by your applicable rules and used as guidance rather than dishonest replacement work.
- Explaining concepts, methods, statistical choices, code behavior, research design, and academic expectations.
- Brainstorming topics, refining scope, planning outlines, and organizing literature review structure.
- Reviewing drafts for clarity, grammar, structure, formatting, argument flow, citation consistency, and publication readiness.
- Providing tutoring, mentoring, project guidance, debugging explanation, code review, documentation feedback, and viva or presentation preparation.
- Helping interpret data analysis responsibly when the data, methods, and claims are truthful and user-owned or properly authorized.
- Helping prepare checklists, feedback summaries, reviewer-response plans, journal-fit comparisons, or learning roadmaps.
3. Prohibited Misuse
Classwork Squad will not knowingly participate in dishonest academic conduct. You must not request, use, submit, or adapt our support in ways that violate academic integrity.
- Plagiarism, unauthorized copying, or presenting another person's work as your own.
- Impersonation in classes, meetings, interviews, vivas, exams, presentations, peer reviews, or institutional communications.
- Contract cheating, ghostwriting for assessment submission, or purchasing work to submit as your original work.
- Exam cheating, live test help, quiz completion, unauthorized assessment assistance, or attempts to bypass proctoring, plagiarism detection, or academic monitoring systems.
- Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data, citations, results, authorship, approvals, disclosures, credentials, or evidence.
- Submitting edited text, examples, model answers, code, research support, or prepared materials as your own original work where that use is not permitted.
4. Originality and Authorship Expectations
You must be able to understand, explain, defend, and take responsibility for any work you submit, present, publish, or share. Support from Classwork Squad must not replace your learning, contribution, authorship, or independent judgment.
- Use guidance to improve your own work, not to hide another person's contribution.
- Keep original notes, drafts, data, code history, and source records where needed to demonstrate authorship.
- Review all edits and suggestions before use, and reject anything that does not reflect your own meaning, evidence, or intended contribution.
- Confirm co-author, supervisor, funder, employer, journal, and institutional requirements before using external support.
5. Citation, Disclosure, and Source Use
You are responsible for proper citation, quotation, paraphrasing, attribution, permissions, and disclosure. External support should be acknowledged whenever your institution, journal, supervisor, employer, funder, or publisher requires disclosure.
- Cite sources accurately and verify that every reference exists, supports the claim, and follows the required style.
- Disclose editing, tutoring, AI-assisted workflows, statistical support, translation, formatting, or research assistance where required.
- Do not cite sources you have not checked, use fabricated references, or hide material contributions from collaborators or assessors.
6. Responsible Use by Service Type
Editing and proofreading should improve clarity without misrepresenting authorship. Tutoring and mentoring should help you understand decisions and complete your own work. Research assistance should support planning, interpretation, and quality control without fabricating evidence or replacing your contribution.
For coding, data, dissertation, manuscript, and publication support, you must verify the final work, confirm permissions for data and materials, and ensure that all claims and submissions are accurate.
7. Institution, Journal, and Assessment Rules
Academic integrity rules differ across universities, schools, journals, conferences, professional bodies, employers, and funding organizations. You must check the rules that apply to you before using any external support.
If a rule is unclear, ask your instructor, supervisor, academic integrity office, journal editor, or institutional contact before proceeding. Classwork Squad can help you frame questions, but cannot override institutional or publisher rules.
8. Review, Refusal, and Escalation
We may ask clarifying questions about your institution's rules, intended use, authorship, data ownership, or assessment status before accepting a request.
We may refuse, pause, modify, or stop support if a request appears to involve plagiarism, impersonation, contract cheating, exam cheating, fake data, fake citations, unauthorized assessment help, or another integrity risk.
9. Consequences for Violation
If you violate this policy, Classwork Squad may refuse service, cancel active work, decline future support, restrict access to deliverables, retain records needed to protect rights or investigate misuse, and take other steps permitted by law and the Terms and Conditions.
TODO: Align consequences with the final payment, cancellation, refund, and dispute-resolution terms after legal review.
