    FAQ to "Rules, legalities, Terms of Service"
Can other clients see when I am on a blacklist?
No, this (as for now) has no influence on your profile and is not visible to other clients.
Must I state my Textbroker earnings when declaring taxes?
Yes, you must state all Textbroker earnings (impartial to the amount) in your tax return.
Can I adopt texts or rather extracts from external or own sources for my articles?
No! All texts must be a unique work and can not, in whole or in part, coincide with any published material. This goes for other as well as your own work.
As an exception you may use quotes if necessary. If you use quotations be sure to label them as such and mark them with the appropriate reference. Furthermore, only short passages of a text may be quoted. An adoption of several sentences or even an entire passage is prohibited. Also, you should use as many sources as possible for your article and always compose texts in your own words to guarantee a unique style.
