What ZyVOP Offers You

For Your Network
Rights & Responsibilities

Publishing & Distribution
Publishing makes your content available through the publication address you select. It does not guarantee inclusion in ZyVOP feeds, search results, recommendations, topic pages, newsletters, promotional placements, or other discovery surfaces.
ZyVOP may limit or exclude otherwise permitted content from network discovery based on relevance, originality, usefulness, safety, duplication, spam signals, technical quality, or community integrity. Content that is not selected for network distribution may remain available on its author's publication or custom domain unless it violates these Terms.
A paid plan or custom domain provides publishing and branding controls. It does not guarantee distribution, promotion, traffic, search-engine indexing, or ranking, and it does not override ZyVOP's moderation or discovery standards.
Community Standards
Our community thrives when everyone feels welcome and safe. Here's what we encourage and what crosses the line:

Founding Pro Billing, Cancellation & Refunds
ZyVOP's core publishing service is available on the Free plan. Founding Pro is a recurring paid subscription offered with monthly and annual billing intervals. The price, currency, billing interval, and any applicable taxes are shown before you approve checkout.
Payments and renewals
Payments are processed by PayPal or Razorpay. By subscribing, you authorize the selected provider to charge the displayed amount on each renewal until cancellation. ZyVOP does not receive or store your complete card, bank, or UPI credentials.
Cancellation
You may cancel from Publication settings or through your payment provider. Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Founding Pro access continues through the current paid billing period and ends on the displayed paid-through date. Your articles remain available on zyvop.com afterward.
Refunds
Ordinary cancellation does not produce a full or prorated refund because Founding Pro remains available through the paid billing period. ZyVOP may issue refunds for duplicate charges, billing errors, failed paid activation, other approved exceptional circumstances, or where required by applicable law. Approved refunds return to the original payment method; provider processing times may apply. Contact [email protected] for help.
Founding rate
The Founding Pro rate shown when you subscribe remains locked while that subscription stays continuously active. Taxes, currency conversion, and payment-provider charges may still vary where applicable.
Provider-specific terms, privacy information, support, and available payment dispute or chargeback options are published by PayPal and Razorpay. You may also contact [email protected] about a ZyVOP subscription charge or service issue.

Updates & Changes
We're always improving! Sometimes we need to update these terms to reflect new features, legal requirements, or community feedback. When we do, we'll let you know via email and platform notifications before any major changes take effect. Small clarifications might happen faster, but nothing that changes your rights or our relationship.
Questions? We're Here to Help
Legal documents can be confusing, and we get it! If you have any questions about these terms, what they mean for you, or how we handle specific situations, don't hesitate to reach out.
