Copyright details: Textbroker is a work-for-hire site. Textbroker's terms of service identifies authors as independent contractors who create content under a work-for hire agreement, and therefore retain no rights to the work. Textbroker and its clients own and may exploit any of the rights granted by copyright in any presently known or to-be-discovered formats, including electronic or online, in any geographic location. As the author, you have no right to be named as the author of the work.

You are also prohibited from arranging work with clients outside of the Textbroker system.

Other details about service:

• Textbroker works with both clients (who buy content) and authors (who write it). The clients determine and describe the content to be written.
  

• Authors are paid based on Textbroker's rating of their previous content submission quality, which ranks from 2-5, higher payments going to authors with a higher quality rating.
  

• The content solicited is usually highly specific (often esoteric) in nature, and therefore may not have re-use value for original authors even if they did retain the copyright.
