You may not under any circumstances resell or transfer any rights to the Product to any person or entity, and any such sale or transfer is void and of no force or effect, and any attempt to do so will constitute a violation of these Terms and Conditions. All Products and all intellectual property rights inherent therein, derived therefrom and appurtenant thereto are and at all times remain owned by the Company, and to the extent any Products are created by freelance writers, such writers have transferred all ownership, rights, title and interest, if any, regarding the Products to the Company.

Performance on Our end requires Us to fully comply with Your instructions and deliver the final product based on Your submitted deadline.  If We do not, a refund may be provided.

Free Revision Policy

Should You have a legitimate concern regarding a purchased Product, You will have a period of seven (7) days within which to request a free revision in accordance with the revision procedures set forth on the Website. This is a service that We provide to help ensure Your total satisfaction with Your completed Order. To receive this free revision, it is mandatory that You contact the Company within seven (7) days after You have received the Product created for Your Order. The Company will only give You a free revision should we find Your request valid. This policy will not extend past this seven (7) day time period. In addition, should Your concern regarding a purchased Product or Your request for a revision not be deemed legitimate under Your Order and the Company’s policies regarding completion of Orders set forth in these Terms and Conditions, and within the Company’s sole discretion, and should You nevertheless wish a revision to be made, the Company will advise You of the cost of the revision before commencing work. All revisions will be returned to You within three (3) days of the Company accepting Your request, unless the number of pages or extent of revisions require otherwise, in which case the Company will advise You of the appropriate time period for delivery of the revisions to You. You may request further free revisions should You have a further legitimate concern regarding the final Product, but the validity of the request is again subject to the Company’s sole discretion regarding the validity of Your concern. For Your information, based on Our experience, and the vast experience of Our writers, we normally consider any requests for more than three (3) successive free revisions to be excessive without extenuating circumstances. You can always request additional revisions according to the applicable rate, and the Company will provide a quote for revisions.

Your failure to check the message system may result in the Company’s discretionary refusal to supply free revisions and shall not constitute valid or reasonable grounds for a free revision of any kind. Refunds will only be given if Your final product does not comply with the instructions that You have provided for Us. Please note that all refunds are subject to approval by the Company. We may choose to decline a refund at Our sole discretion.
