Terms and licence

01 The grant
Everything written here is free to take
The material on this site is published free of charge and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International licence. Anyone may quote it, copy it, republish it, translate it and adapt it, for any non-commercial purpose, without asking and without paying — provided the source is attributed and the licence is named. Commercial use is not part of the grant: to use any of it commercially, write to [email protected] and ask.
For any non-commercial use no permission is necessary: a school, a journalist, a researcher and a critic writing against us all hold the same licence on the same terms.
The licence covers the text and diagrams of these pages. Its own terms, and not this page’s summary of them, are what a reuser relies on.
02 The exception
The name is not part of the grant
The name PrepGraph, the PrepGraph marks and logos, and the names of the sibling properties are not covered by that licence, and no licence to them is given here or implied by the licence above. They belong to PREPGRAPH PRIVATE LIMITED, the company that publishes this site and grants the licence. Take the text freely within the licence; do not use the name in a way that suggests PrepGraph wrote, approved, reviewed, endorsed or is associated with your work when it did not and is not.
The distinction is narrow, and the first use is the one this site is for: quoting a position of ours and arguing against it in public needs no permission and is exactly what the licence exists to allow. Presenting your own material as though it came from us is a different act, and the licence does not reach it.
03 The term that matters
Positions are not findings
The positions here are arguments about what would have to be true; the research directions are questions, each carrying the condition under which it would be abandoned. Their force is the force of the argument, and a position does not become evidence by being quoted confidently.
So: nobody may represent anything on this site as a finding, a benchmark, a standard, a rating, a validation, an endorsement or a certification — in a tender or procurement response, a prospectus, a proposal, a pitch, an advertisement or a press release. That restriction binds everyone at PrepGraph exactly as it binds a stranger.
Every study we run will be published with its method attached, and a finding is quoted from that study, never from these pages.
Anyone may
- Quote it, at any length, with attribution
- Republish it, translate it, adapt it, argue with it, for any non-commercial purpose
- Cite it as a position PrepGraph holds, and date the citation
- Ask us, if you want to use it commercially
Nobody may
- Represent anything here as a finding or a result
- Represent it as a benchmark, a standard or a rating
- Represent it as a validation, an endorsement or a certification
- Use the PrepGraph name to imply we wrote or approved your work
04 Warranty and advice
Offered for your judgement, not for your reliance
The material is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, and no undertaking is given that any page is complete or current at the moment you read it.
Nothing here is professional, legal, technical or educational advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or adopt anything, ours included. These are positions offered for a reader’s own judgement, and a reader who acts on one does so on their own assessment of it. If the decision matters, test the position against your own school, your own timetable and your own constraints rather than against our confidence in it.
05 Links out
Where this site points, it does not vouch
This site links to the sibling PrepGraph properties, to the Council, to altme.org and to pages published by other people. Each of those is a separate site with its own terms and its own privacy notice, and a link is not an endorsement of everything on the other side of it. Which of the properties is commercial and which is not is set out in full rather than left to be inferred from a footer.
