PLACING AND PROCESSING ORDERS
Orders are made by filling out the provided Order form on the Website. The Service is strictly request-based and not provided by any other means.
The Order form will detail the extent of the work, including Order parameters and delivery timelines. It is Your obligation to provide precise, complete, and final details in each standard Order form section. It's crucial to present the Order details in a way that enables the Writer to deliver an accurate Product.
We retain the right to re-evaluate Order details after the final payment to verify whether the assignment requirements, as specified by you, were met. If there's a discrepancy, our Support Team reserves the right to modify the Order to ensure adherence to Your stipulated requirements.
Each Order You place should have a specified volume, measured by word count. Upon receiving the delivered Service, the Product must correspond to the anticipated word count. A document may contain fewer pages than requested but should adhere to the guideline of 275 words per double-spaced page or 550 words per single-spaced page. If there's a discrepancy in page or word count, You may request a reformat to match the guideline.
Changes to the scope of work can be made by You or the Support Team only if the Writer hasn't started the work. No alterations can be made once the Writer has begun working on the Order. If changes affect the work's volume or complexity, or narrow the completion time, You may be asked to provide additional compensation.
If You require specific resources to be used in the Order execution, You must specify these and provide them to the Writer together with the other Order details. If not provided, the Writer will source them, with additional charges incurred.
If You fail to provide the materials within the deadline, extra payment and/or time may be required for completing the Order. We bear no responsibility if the Order instructions were initially wrong or altered. If additional materials are added after the work is delivered, all funds may be released to the Writer if initial instructions are followed.
We encourage communication with the Writer using the Messaging System or directly contacting our Support Team for further information. By placing an Order, You acknowledge that it may take a few hours to receive a reply from a Writer.
You can monitor the progress of Your Order through Your personal account, where each Order's information and status is displayed. Our Support Team is also available 24/7 to provide updates on the Order status.
You have the option to select a favorite Writer to work on Your Order by specifying their name or ID in the "Preferred writer" field. However, there's no 100% guarantee that the specific Writer will be available to work on the Order.
While placing Orders, You must not send any Content to the Writers deemed illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, violent, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful or racially, sexually, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.
