Platform Policy

Content Guidelines

These guidelines explain what educators may list on Knovia, what is prohibited, and the quality and integrity standards that apply across product types. They apply worldwide, to every listing offered on the Platform.

Last updated: August 2026

1. Overview

Knovia is academic commerce infrastructure for verified educators. Listings may include academic materials and books, revision drops, bundles, practice assessments, review services, live study sessions, tutoring, and other product types we enable over time. All content must be educational in nature and compliant with these guidelines, the Terms of Service, and the Educator Terms.

We use technical and human review controls before and after publication (duplicate screening, plagiarism checks where enabled, mandatory IP attestation, and notice-and-takedown). Passing review is a precondition for publication where required — not a warranty of lifelong compliance. Specific detection tools and thresholds are internal and may change.

2. Permitted Content

Subject to your account permissions and what the Platform currently offers, you may list:

  • Academic materials and books: Original notes, guides, past-paper compilations you are allowed to distribute, lab/practical guides, and similar course-aligned content.
  • Revision drops: Exam-oriented revision content with accurate exam tags and genuine relevance to the tagged exam.
  • Practice assessments: Original questions and answer keys that are factually accurate.
  • Academic bundles: Packs of available component products you have rights to include, accurately described.
  • Live study sessions and tutoring: Scheduled or bookable academic sessions matching the listing description.
  • Academic review services: Substantive feedback on learner-submitted work within stated deliverables and turnaround — not ghostwriting or graded assignment completion (see Section 5).
  • Other enabled types: Including, where offered, memberships, session replays, group licenses, appreciation / tips, or similar — always subject to these guidelines.

You must hold the rights to distribute everything you list. Institution and course labels are descriptive references only and do not imply endorsement by that institution.

3. Prohibited Content

The following are not permitted:

  • Content you lack rights to distribute — including unauthorized textbook scans, journal articles, or publisher materials.
  • Plagiarised or substantially copied work without authorisation.
  • Active / live exam items whose reproduction is prohibited by the examining body (for example currently administered public or professional exams where rules forbid redistribution).
  • Academic fraud facilitation — contract cheating, ghostwriting for graded submission, exam impersonation, or “guaranteed grade” services.
  • Misleading listings — titles, descriptions, course codes, institutions, levels, or product types that do not match the content or service.
  • Impersonation of another educator, brand, or institution.
  • Empty or low-effort filler that does not meaningfully match the description.
  • Hate, harassment, discrimination, sexual exploitation, or content promoting violence or illegal activity.
  • Third-party personal data such as identifiable student records, grade sheets, or private contact data without a lawful basis.
  • Primarily commercial spam advertising unrelated products or competing platforms.
  • Undisclosed AI-generated scholarship presented as wholly original human work where disclosure is required by Platform rules — label AI-assisted content when applicable.
  • Anything unlawful in a jurisdiction where the content may reasonably be accessed.

4. Quality Standards by Product Type

Academic materials

Content must be readable and substantive. Metadata must match the file. Previews and covers must be representative. Poor-quality scans that cannot be studied meaningfully may be rejected.

Practice assessments

Questions and answer keys must be accurate. Deliberately incorrect keys are a content violation.

Revision drops

Exam body, year/diet, and subject tags must be accurate; content must be genuinely relevant.

Bundles

All listed components must be available and accessible; the description must list contents honestly.

Live study sessions & tutoring

You must run sessions as booked or cancel under Platform rules. Topic and format must match the listing. If you record for later sale (where allowed), inform attendees. Classroom links and access controls must match what you disclose (for example waiting room / passcode where you claim them). No-shows and refunds follow the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Session replays (where offered)

Audio/video must be watchable; the description must match the recording.

Memberships (where offered)

Subscribers must receive the access described. Do not strip previously promised content from an active paid period without clear notice and a lawful basis.

Group licenses (where offered)

Access codes must work; honour the purchased seat count.

5. Academic Review Service — Integrity Limits

Review services are for feedback on work the learner submits — not for completing graded assignments for them.

  • Permitted framing: review, feedback, annotated comments, structure notes, clarity suggestions.
  • Prohibited framing: “do my assignment,” “guaranteed A,” ghostwriting, or active exam assistance that violates academic rules.
  • Deliver the stated deliverable within the stated turnaround. Feedback must address the submitted work substantively.

Educator and learner attestations shown in-product are binding representations of academic integrity.

6. Metadata Accuracy

Listing fields must stay accurate for the life of the listing, including after version updates:

  • Title & description — honest; no keyword stuffing or promises of missing content.
  • Course / exam tags — real associations; do not tag unrelated courses or exams.
  • Institution — factual descriptive use only; Anonymous Mode may suppress public display where enabled.
  • Level and product type — must match the offering.

7. Intellectual Property Attestation

At submission you must confirm (wording as shown in-product) that:

  • The content is your original work or you hold rights to distribute it on these terms.
  • It does not infringe third-party IP.
  • Listing it does not violate employment, institutional, or other binding obligations.

False attestation is a serious breach of the Terms of Service and may result in permanent ban. Copyright procedures are in the Copyright & DMCA Policy.

8. Review and Publication

Where pre-publication review applies, submissions are screened for duplicates, similarity, policy risk, and attestation completeness, and may receive human review. Items that fail checks may be rejected with a reason in your dashboard. Timing varies (often about 1–2 business days; longer on weekends/holidays or complex cases). Some account or Platform configurations may allow faster paths; we may still review or remove after publication.

9. Post-Publication Monitoring

We may review published listings at any time (complaints, copyright notices, audits, or risk signals). A listing may be flagged, unpublished, archived, or otherwise restricted. Existing buyers generally keep access to what they already purchased unless legal or enforcement action requires otherwise. We aim to notify you by email when we take such action.

10. Educator Conduct

  • No harassment of buyers or other educators.
  • No fake accounts, review manipulation, or metric inflation.
  • No spam or off-platform solicitation that violates the Terms.
  • Honour session and tutoring commitments or cancel under Platform rules.

11. Enforcement

Violations are handled under the enforcement tiers in the Terms of Service. Severity and pattern determine the starting tier. Confirmed copyright infringement and academic-fraud facilitation are treated as serious and may result in immediate permanent termination. Repeat copyright findings are addressed under the Copyright & DMCA Policy.

12. Reporting Violations

Report guideline violations to support@knovia.co with the listing URL and a short description. For copyright infringement, use dmca@knovia.co per the Copyright & DMCA Policy.
