Acceptable Use and Academic Integrity Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Tesify exists to strengthen your writing and your learning, never to replace them. This policy explains what the tool does, what it does not do, and how we expect you to use it so that your work remains genuinely yours.

The principle: authorship is yours

The ideas, arguments and conclusions in your thesis, capstone project or dissertation have to be yours. Tesify organises the structure, suggests improvements on what you already wrote, builds your citations and lets you check your own originality, but it does not draft your work for you and it does not relieve you of understanding and answering for everything you submit.

What Tesify does

Structure: organises your document into coherent chapters and sections.
Writing support: suggests phrasing and improves the clarity of paragraphs you already wrote.
Citations and references: applies APA 7 format (or another style, if your department requires it).
Originality check: flags passages worth citing better or rewriting, before you submit.
Formatting and export: leaves the document ready in Word, PDF or LaTeX.

What Tesify does not do

It does not write your paper from scratch for you to present as your own without having contributed anything.
It does not guarantee that your submission will pass any detection system: the originality check is an aid to your own review, not a tool for evading controls.
It does not invent data, sources or citations. Every source you use must be real, verifiable and checked by you.
It does not replace your university’s rules, your adviser’s instructions, or your duty to declare the tools you used where that is required.

Uses we do not accept

Using Tesify to generate a paper you did not meaningfully write, to invent citations or data, to circumvent your institution’s integrity rules, or to present as entirely your own a work produced with artificial intelligence assistance when your programme requires you to declare it, is a breach of these terms. We reserve the right to suspend accounts used in a way incompatible with the purpose of the tool.

Follow your university’s rules

Academic integrity rules vary between universities, colleges and programmes, and sometimes between advisers. Some require you to declare the use of artificial intelligence tools; others restrict it further. It is your responsibility to know and follow the rules of your programme, and to consult your adviser or your department if you have any doubt about a specific use.
