When contracting services from others (artists, editors, etc.) I now apply the following policy for my own protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Suppliers should be based in the European Union, United Kingdom or United States of America. Those outside of these zones will be considered only by exception.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Suppliers will be able to validate their identify through a business registry, or be ID validated on a publicly accessible platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. For payment, an official invoice is required, produced by a recognised financial system with links to make payment through. This should be usable for a payee based in Europe and should not involve loading up unique apps or creating new service-based user accounts to make the payment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Suppliers should be able to provide examples of their work, and NEVER pass off someone else’s work as theirs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Suppliers will not use AI to produce their own creative content or apply AI tools to the author’s work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. I do not owe anyone work \u2014 it is up to me and me alone to decide if I want to contract a service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
