5. Use of Website and Services

By using this website or any of our Services, you agree that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into a legally binding agreement.
  • You will use the website and Services only for lawful purposes.

7. Quotations, Orders, and Service Delivery

When you submit a quote request or order, our team may provide an estimated cost and timeline. Once you accept a quotation and make payment (where applicable), work begins according to the agreed scope.

Services are typically delivered electronically. Delivery times depend on the nature of the Service and are communicated in advance. If requirements change after work has started, additional charges may apply.

We are not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate or incomplete information from the user, or for external factors such as system failures, communication issues, or third-party editorial response times.

8. Payment Terms

Fees and prices are stated in the currency shown at the time of order or quotation. Payment is required as agreed before or during service delivery, unless otherwise confirmed in writing.

You are responsible for ensuring payment information is accurate and authorised. Failure to complete payment may result in suspension or cancellation of the order, and completed work may be withheld until payment is received.

9. Refunds and Cancellations

Because our services involve professional time-based work, refunds are considered only under specific and reasonable conditions. Refunds may be issued when a service has not yet started, or when we fail to deliver the agreed service as described at the time of purchase. All refund requests are subject to internal review.

You may be eligible for a refund where:

  • The service has not begun and you cancel within 24 hours of placing your order.
  • There is a verified error or failure on our part that prevents completion of the service.
  • The service delivered is significantly different from what was agreed in writing.

Refunds will not generally be provided where:

  • Work has already commenced or been completed according to agreed specifications.
  • You request outcomes beyond the original scope.
  • Dissatisfaction arises from personal preference, writing tone, editing style, or third-party editorial decisions.
  • You fail to provide required materials, instructions, or responses that affect the project.
  • Journal rejection, reviewer feedback, or institutional response is used as the sole basis for a refund.

Eligible refunds are normally processed via the original payment method within 7 to 14 business days after written confirmation. Payment gateway or bank charges may be deducted. Clients are encouraged to request revisions before seeking a refund.

10. Guarantees and Limitations

While we strive for high quality, our Services are provided for support and assistance. We cannot guarantee specific academic results, grades, citation outcomes, or publication acceptance. Publication decisions depend on independent editorial and peer-review processes beyond our control.

11. Intellectual Property Rights

You retain copyright and ownership of materials, research data, and content you submit to us, subject to any publishing agreement you enter into for accepted works.

By submitting materials for support services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use, edit, or adapt content solely to provide the requested Services. We will not claim authorship of your academic work unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

Website content, templates, tools, branding, and internal materials remain our property. You may not copy, distribute, or reuse website content, pricing information, or marketing materials without prior written permission.
