For more information on academic papers, copyright, and plagiarism, please refer to our Academic Editing Policy.

WordsRU is not liable for incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost revenues or profits, loss of business, or loss of data related to this service. This exemption applies to any claim, loss, or injury based on errors, omissions, interruptions, or any other inaccuracies that may appear on the WordsRU website or in an edited customer document.

WordsRU is not obligated to refund the cost of the service in the case of an edited document being less than perfect. We request that the customer contact us if not completely satisfied with the service and we will make every effort to remedy the situation.

The customer is responsible for reviewing the edited document upon completion and contacting WordsRU should any errors be discovered. WordsRU will correct any outstanding issues with an edited or copy written document through our complaints process, which is outlined below:

  • The customer must submit his or her complaint in writing on the job page within 120 days from the time of job completion.
  • The chief editor will review all communications on the job page, and then respond to the customer in a timely fashion. A remedy will be presented by the chief editor. For example, the chief editor may direct the editor to correct the specific issues contained in the complaint. In some cases, the chief editor will personally go through the document and make necessary corrections.
  • If the customer is still unsatisfied after the chief editor has provided a remedy, the chief editor will forward the complaint to the operations manager for final resolution.

4. Accuracy of Client Information

The customer is responsible for providing true and accurate information with respect to his or her name, address, phone number, email address, and all payment details.

Furthermore, WordsRU may, at its discretion, discontinue or terminate operation of its website, services, or trading name without notice at any time and for any reason.

A contract between WordsRU and the customer commences as soon as the customer has submitted payment for the service and the payment has been received by WordsRU. When payment is received, the customer has confirmed that the work is to commence.

Should the customer wish to cancel the service once work has commenced, a credit will be applied to the customer's account. Refund of money paid is at the discretion of WordsRU and may incur any associated cost incurred by WordsRU, including bank/transfer fees and administrator/editor costs.

The customer is responsible for providing accurate and descriptive requirements to WordsRU at the time of submitting a job, or prior to a quote being issued. These requirements form the statement of work. Failure by the customer to provide correct and accurate information in the statement of work may result in the cancellation of a transaction. Where a transaction is cancelled due to a breach of these terms and conditions, a refund will be offered to the customer of all money paid less any associated cost incurred by WordsRU, including bank/transfer fees and editor costs. The customer assumes all responsibility for any problems, errors, and issues, as well as legal liability resulting from an incorrect statement of work.

WordsRU reserves the right to cancel service to any customer when a virus is suspected in submitted documents. In the case of a transaction, a refund will be issued less any associated cost incurred by WordsRU, including bank/transfer fees, editor costs, and virus removal costs.

WordsRU reserves the right to cancel service to any customer for any reason and without explanation.

Account customers submitting work to WordsRU are responsible for paying the monthly invoice in full within 14 days of the date of the invoice. Failure to meet this requirement may result in a termination of services by WordsRU and subsequent action to retrieve arrears.

12. Modification of Terms and Conditions

The terms and conditions contained herein may be modified, amended, altered, changed, reorganized, rewritten, or revoked at any time, for any reason, and without notice.

If the deadline is not met, we will provide a credit or a full refund.
