Article Formatting and Links
For best results, authors submitting to Golf Article Syndication should copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like Notepad. This will ensure that basic formatting (i.e. paragraph breaks and line length) will be handled correctly our submission form. Copying and pasting content from other applications (i.e. MS Word) can result in a number of different formatting problems. This is because such applications typically use hidden, non-ASCII characters that are copied with article content into our submission form, causing articles to appear very differently from the way they were intended.
Use of HTML should be minimized and we suggest that html tags be used only for creating live links to sites. Our submission process does not automatically create activated links. You must do this.
Copyright Infringement
Golf Article Syndication's policy prohibits the use of copyrighted material in a manner that violates the copyright owner's rights. In general, this means that authors must only submit their own original written work to which they have natural copyright. This also means that publishers are required to reprint the content obtained from Golf Article Syndication without change or modification.
In cases where copyright is disputed, the article(s) in question will be immediately removed without recourse or discussion, regardless of the arguments presented by the disputing parties.
In the Event of Copyright Violation
Golf Article Syndication is a free content article directory. We act as an intermediary between authors and publishers and post guidelines for both regarding copyright adherence. However, copyright resides with the authors who submit to our directory, not with us. Golf Article Syndication has no legal standing to enforce copyright on behalf of authors.
In the event of copyright violation, authors are encouraged to exercise their rights under the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 by taking the following steps:
1. Contact the offending party directly asking them to rectify the copyright violation.
2. If the above fails, contact the ISP that hosts the offending website and the domain registrar that holds the registration for the website domain.
3. Most Domain Registrars and ISPs will respond to a copyright enforcement request by warning or suspending the offending party. If they fail to do so, have a lawyer make the same request in writing. This last action rarely fails to produce results.
