We declare that we are not selling or distributing the original image content on a standalone basis. Our use complies with the terms required by these licenses.
2. Content Sourcing and Accuracy
All content used to generate our free eBooks is based on facts and public domain material.
Source Citation: We provide references and a bibliography list at the end of each book when content is compiled from various sources.
Educational Use: Our eBook generation policies are based on fair use and are strictly for educational and research purposes.
Journalistic Sources Policy: Facts and information obtained from non-public domain sources, such as newspapers, magazines, and other periodical archives, are strictly used for contextual and factual reference only.
Crediting Journalistic Sources: When citing facts from periodicals, a full reference is mandatory in the book’s bibliography, including: Author (if available), Article Title, Name of Publication (Newspaper/Magazine), Date of Publication, and Page Number/URL.
Primary Source Vetting (Preservation Goal): Public domain content is primarily sourced directly from verifiable primary documents or accredited institutional archives (e.g., Project Gutenberg) to ensure historical accuracy.
Version Control: When using classic public domain works, the specific edition or manuscript used is clearly stated in the book’s front matter for academic citation.
3. Editorial Team and AI Transparency
We blend human expertise with modern technology to ensure quality.
Human Oversight: Our content is processed by a team of freelance writers, editors, and proofreaders.
Use of AI Tools: We utilize various AI tools, including Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity, specifically for editing, proofreading, and refining content for our eBooks.
AI Policy Statement: A dedicated section detailing the specific editorial tasks performed by AI will be included in the copyright page of the final eBooks. AI is never used to generate new factual claims or citations.

To ensure our eBooks remain available for the long term:
Non-Proprietary Formats: All final eBooks are archived and distributed in standard, non-proprietary formats (e.g., EPUB, plain text) for maximum compatibility with future reading technology.
