9. Teacher Content Submission

Teachers may be permitted to submit articles, notes, lessons, question sets, videos, study materials, or other educational content.

Submitted content may be reviewed before publication.

WBMerit.in may:

• Approve content.
• Request corrections.
• Request additional information.
• Edit content for formatting, clarity, grammar, or website standards.
• Reject content.
• Remove previously published content where appropriate.

Editorial review does not necessarily mean that WBMerit.in agrees with every opinion expressed in submitted content.

10. Originality and Copyright

Teachers must submit only content that they have the right to publish.

Teachers must not knowingly submit:

• Plagiarized articles.
• Unauthorized copies of textbooks or other copyrighted works.
• Copyrighted images without appropriate permission.
• Paid educational materials belonging to another person or organization.
• Content copied from another website without permission or proper rights.
• Content falsely presented as original work.

Where third-party material is legally used, teachers should provide appropriate attribution or comply with the applicable license.

11. Teacher Ownership of Submitted Content

Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, teachers should retain ownership of their original intellectual property to the extent provided by applicable law.

By submitting content to WBMerit.in, the teacher grants WBMerit.in the permissions reasonably necessary to host, display, format, distribute, promote, and otherwise provide the submitted content through the relevant WBMerit.in services.

The exact rights applicable to paid courses, exclusive content, commissioned materials, or other special arrangements may be governed by separate written terms.

Teachers may use appropriate technology or AI tools as part of their content-creation workflow where permitted.

However, teachers remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, educational quality, and legality of submitted content.

AI-generated or AI-assisted content must not be submitted in a manner that infringes copyright, contains fabricated facts, or misrepresents qualifications, sources, or official information.

Teachers should review educational content carefully before submission.

14. Teacher-Student Communication

Teacher-student communication should remain professional and relevant to education.

Where WBMerit.in provides an official communication channel, teachers should use that channel for platform-related student interactions.

Teachers should not pressure students to move communications to unofficial channels where doing so creates unnecessary privacy, safety, or safeguarding risks.

15. Personal Student Information

Teachers may receive access to limited student information when necessary for providing an educational service.

Such information must:

• Be used only for legitimate educational purposes.
• Be kept confidential.
• Not be sold or shared without authorization.
• Not be publicly disclosed.
• Not be retained unnecessarily.

Teachers must notify WBMerit.in if they become aware of unauthorized disclosure or misuse of student information.

16. Recording and Use of Classes

Where online classes are recorded, teachers must follow the applicable WBMerit.in rules regarding recordings and student privacy.

Teachers must not independently record, distribute, publish, or commercially exploit student participation or class recordings without appropriate authorization.

Any separate recording policy applicable to a course or service will also apply.

17. Advertising and Self-Promotion

Teachers may not use WBMerit.in primarily as a platform for unrelated advertising.

Unless expressly permitted, teachers must not:

• Promote unrelated businesses.
• Spam students with promotional messages.
• Collect students’ contact information for unauthorized marketing.
• Promote competing services in a misleading manner.
• Place unauthorized advertisements in educational materials.

Any permitted promotional activity must follow WBMerit.in’s applicable guidelines.

18. Teacher Earnings

Where WBMerit.in provides a teacher earning, points, commission, referral, or incentive program, the applicable program rules will determine eligibility and payment.

Earnings may depend on factors such as:

• Published content.
• Eligible student participation.
• Course or class activity.

• Platform rules.

WBMerit.in may verify activity before releasing payments.

Specific earning rates, thresholds, payment schedules, and eligibility requirements may be communicated separately and may change from time to time.

If WBMerit.in operates a teacher referral programme, teachers must use referral links or codes in accordance with the applicable programme rules.

Teachers must not:

• Create fraudulent referrals.
• Refer themselves where prohibited.
• Use misleading advertisements.
• Spam users.
• Manipulate referral systems.
• Make false claims about WBMerit.in services.

Invalid or fraudulent referrals may not qualify for rewards.

20. Payment and Tax Responsibility

Where teachers receive payments, commissions, or other earnings through WBMerit.in, applicable verification and payment requirements may apply.

Teachers are responsible for providing accurate payment information.

Where required by applicable law, teachers may also be responsible for their own tax reporting and obligations.

21. Content Moderation

WBMerit.in may review teacher content before or after publication.

22. Corrections and Updates

Teachers should make reasonable efforts to correct inaccurate or outdated educational information.

If a teacher becomes aware that previously submitted content contains a significant factual error, the teacher should notify WBMerit.in.

WBMerit.in may update, correct, annotate, or remove content when appropriate.

23. No Guarantee of Examination Results

Teachers must not guarantee specific examination marks, ranks, admissions, scholarships, or career outcomes.

Educational guidance and tuition are intended to support learning and preparation.

Students’ results depend on many factors outside the control of individual teachers and WBMerit.in.

24. Relationship With Educational Boards

Teachers must not represent themselves as officials, employees, authorized representatives, or examiners of WBBSE, WBCHSE, or another educational authority unless they have legally verifiable authority to make such a representation.

WBMerit.in itself is an independent educational platform and has no official institutional relationship with WBBSE or WBCHSE.

25. Conflicts of Interest

Teachers should disclose relevant conflicts of interest where they may materially affect the educational content or recommendation being provided.

Teachers should not use their position on WBMerit.in to unfairly promote personal financial interests without appropriate disclosure or authorization.

26. Confidentiality

Teachers may receive confidential information relating to:

• Students.
• Other teachers.
• Courses.
• Internal platform operations.
• Payment information.
• Unpublished content.
• Administrative processes.

Such information must not be disclosed or misused without authorization.

27. Platform Security

Teachers must not attempt to:

• Gain unauthorized access to WBMerit.in systems.
• Access another teacher’s or student’s account.
• Circumvent security measures.
• Modify platform data without authorization.

Security vulnerabilities should be reported responsibly to WBMerit.in.

• The accuracy and quality of their submitted content.
• Respectful communication.
• Protecting student information.

• Fraudulent activity.
• Misuse of student information.
• Unauthorized distribution of paid materials.
• False qualifications or identity information.
• Security violations.
• Abuse or harassment of students.
• Other serious misuse of the platform.

Where appropriate, WBMerit.in may provide notice or an opportunity to resolve an issue. Immediate action may be taken where necessary to protect students, the platform, or legal rights.

30. Removal of Teacher Content

WBMerit.in may remove or restrict teacher content when necessary because of:

• Policy violations.
• Legal complaints.
• Copyright concerns.
• Factual inaccuracies.
• Student safety concerns.
• Privacy concerns.
• Quality issues.
• Changes to website services.

Removal of content does not necessarily eliminate any separate rights or obligations established under a written agreement.

31. Appeals and Reviews

A teacher who believes that an account restriction, content removal, or other moderation decision was made incorrectly may contact WBMerit.in through the official support channel.

The teacher should provide relevant information explaining why the decision should be reviewed.

WBMerit.in may review the matter based on the available information.

32. Changes to Teacher Services

WBMerit.in may modify, suspend, or discontinue teacher features, earning programmes, referral programmes, publishing systems, courses, or other services.
