Use of the Service
Users must provide accurate information, protect account access, respect confidentiality and intellectual-property rights, and use the platform lawfully. Interference with security, impersonation, unauthorized access, and misuse of unpublished or confidential material are prohibited.
Account Responsibilities
Account holders are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials, using an account only for authorized purposes, and promptly reporting suspected compromise. Users must not misrepresent identity, affiliation, contributor status, editorial authority, or another person’s consent.
Scholarly Submissions
Submitting authors must have authority to submit the work and must provide accurate authorship, rights, ethics, consent, funding, conflict, data, and related information. Submission does not create a promise of review, acceptance, publication, timing, indexing, or impact. Article-specific publication terms apply if a work is accepted.
Intellectual Property and Acceptable Use
Users must respect copyright, licences, permissions, trademarks, confidentiality, and other applicable rights. They may not upload unlawful, malicious, deceptive, infringing, or unauthorized content or attempt to extract confidential manuscripts, reviewer material, security information, or personal data.
External Links
Links to external standards, licences, registries, repositories, or resources may be provided for context. A link does not by itself imply ownership, endorsement, partnership, membership, continuing availability, or responsibility for external content.
Scholarly and Medical Information
Content published by The Curette is intended for scholarly, scientific, educational, and professional communication. It is not a substitute for individualized diagnosis, treatment, or professional medical advice. Clinical decisions should be made by appropriately qualified professionals using relevant evidence, patient circumstances, and applicable standards.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
Submission, acceptance, payment, or publication does not guarantee indexing, citations, academic promotion, funding, clinical adoption, regulatory approval, employment, commercial outcomes, or research impact.
Availability and Corrections
The platform may be maintained, updated, interrupted, or corrected. Material changes to a Version of Record are handled through the applicable corrections and retractions policy rather than silent alteration.
Applicable Law
These terms operate subject to applicable law. Nothing here creates an unapproved jurisdiction, removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, or replaces article-specific publication and licence terms.
