Deadlines and Delivery
The time frames for completing assignments vary from 3 hours to 2 months. All assignments are done according to the deadline indicated in the order form. However, if you want your writing project to be delivered earlier, its price will be recalculated and you will be asked to place an additional order.
Ordering Process
Take the following steps to order papers from us:
1.Fill in the order. Provide detailed instructions about your assignment. Set the deadline, choose a correct academic level, state the word count, topic, etc. Please keep in mind that it is important to lay down all requirements during the ordering process. Extra guidelines for the orders that are in progress cannot be provided after 10-15% of the deadline expires.
2.Proceed with the payment. Once payment verification is received, the writer will begin working on your assignment straight away.
3.Communicate with the assigned expert. You can communicate with your writer during the writing process and ask questions about your order.
4.Download your paper. As soon as the deadline expires, you will be able to download your completed assignment from your personal profile. As an option, you can request us to send your order to your email address. Note that at your request, we can send you a free plagiarism report alongside your paper so that you can see it is authentic.
Submitting a Refund Application
Customers can apply for refunds within 2 weeks from the expiry of an order’s deadline. Plagiarism-related refunds are not subject to timeframe restrictions. However, customers should submit a legitimate plagiarism report to prove the writer is at fault.
Note: Some of the plagiarism detection services that are considered credible are Turnitin and its partners (e.g., WriteCheck and iThenticate). Correctly formatted quotes taken directly from another text, referenced sources and tables of content are not classed as plagiarism. Plagiarism detection systems such as SafeAssign.com cannot be considered reliable as the reports produced by this system usually highlight direct quotations and references as instances of plagiarism. Additionally, handwritten notes or comments within files cannot be considered as credible proof.
1.In the case of a continuation order, Writology Limited cannot be held responsible for plagiarism detected in any section of a paper written or provided by a customer. Only those parts created by the writers of Writology Limited will undergo authenticity testing.
2.Should a customer feel dissatisfied with an order, our Refunds Team will look at their case and report on the matter. Where a claim is justified, we will refund the customer in full or partially. All requests are responded to within 3-4 working days.
Revisions
1.Free revisions may be requested within 24hrs after deadline expiration. Beyond this timeline, a new order will need to be placed by way of compensation. Where a writer offers or agrees to undertake revisions free-of-charge, it will not be possible to provide a further refund.
2.For lengthier papers, e.g., those in excess of 20 pages, customers have up to 30 days after the deadline’s expiry date to request a free revision.
3.Our free revision policy is not applied where a customer changes the originally provided instructions the originally provided. If vital instructions are not provided until an order is completed or during the writing process, we may ask you to submit another order to compensate our writing staff.
4.Where free revisions are required, the customer should set a new completion timeframe when sending their revision requirements. Sometimes, revisions can take a day if the instructions are complicated or we find it difficult to reassign the order. Nevertheless, in every case, Writology Limited will endeavor to complete your revisions within the timeframe agreed upon.
5.We recommend that customers check their profile pages and email for possible correspondence from our writers or administration team. At times, unfortunately, customers neglect to upload or attach important materials with their initial order. Customers are responsible for providing detailed and essential materials when placing an order or if our writers ask for it.
6.There is an “Extended Revision” option for a client to choose when the order is placed, for the 30% of the initial order price. This allows deadline extension for a free revision up to 14 days. Yet, initiating a revision should be in strict accordance with the original instructions. Please note that additional fee for “Extended Revision” is not reimbursed if a customer does not submit a revision request.
Refund
1.Full refunds (100%) may be requested if a customer was charged twice or mistakenly placed an identical or duplicate order. In these cases, the customer should cancel their order immediately by contacting our support team.
2. Customers are entitled to a full refund (100%) if we do not manage to find or assign a suitably qualified writer.
3.If a 100% refund is issued, the customer should no longer use any papers or materials provided by Writology Limited for any purpose.
Word Count Issues
1.Pages are counted according to the number of words per page (e.g., 300 per page) and not visually. Where technical papers are needed, however, this rule is not applied because these works often contain a lot of calculations. The price will be calculated according to the complexity of the assignment.
2.Presentation slides (PowerPoint). The provision of speaker notes is a service we provide in return for payment. Customers can choose this service when ordering a ppt assignment and we will provide from 100 to 150 words of notes with every slide.
3.Writology Limited helps completing online test assignments. The cost of this work is based on how many questions there are (five questions per a page). A similar calculation is applied to questions of the multiple-choice type. Therefore, for an assignment with 15 questions, the customer should order a three-page paper.
Delivery/Deadline
1.Compensation will be required where a customer expects their paper to be delivered early. Our representatives will recalculate the cost and request a supplementary order. Where our writer agrees to complete an assignment early without extra payment, we cannot issue a refund later.
2.Where a customer does not approve a deadline extension and an order is delivered late, at least a partial refund may be issued. We will recalculate the cost difference according to the prices displayed on the website of Writology Limited.
Order Type
1.It is necessary for customers to choose the correct type of order. For example, they should choose “Research Paper” and not “Essay” when they need a research paper. Where payment for an order has not been received, we cannot issue a refund.
2.With orders for “Rewriting,” our writers reword or paraphrase the original text. Where a customer requests for extra research, a new section added to a paper or changes to the sources or any features that resemble a freshly written piece, an additional order will be needed to compensate our writer.
3.We encourage customers to monitor their email or personal profile area in case our support team sends messages. Timely response from customers is much appreciated, especially where a topic we have chosen needs to be approved by the customer.

Order placing and order process
The Order is placed by completing the Order form provided on the Website. No Service is provided by other means than by request.
The Order form will specify the scope of the work, Order parameters, and delivery terms. It is your responsibility to provide exact, complete, and final information in each standard Order form section when filling it out. You are obligated to ensure that the information given in the Order is presented in a form that allows the Expert to provide you with a correct Product.
The Company reserves the right to re-evaluate the Order details following the final payment to confirm whether the assignment requirements were met successfully, as indicated by the Customer.
Should a mismatch occur, Support reserves the right to modify the Order to ensure that the Customer's requirements have been adhered to.
Each Order placed by the Customer has a required volume, measured by the number of words. Upon the Service delivery, the Product received has to match the expected word sum. Note that the document may have fewer pages than requested but should have an exact number of words according to the «275 words per double-spaced page or 550 words per single-spaced page» rule. Should there be a page/number-of-words mismatch, the Customer may request to reformat the Product to match the number of words/pages according to the «275 words per double-spaced page or 550 words per single-spaced page» rule. For PowerPoint presentations, 1 slide corresponds to approximately 135 words per slide (text on slide).
Customer and Support may provide changes to the scope of work only if the Expert has not started the work yet. No changes can be made once the Expert has started working on the Order. Should the changes in Order details affect the volume of work, Order complexity, or narrow the completion terms, the Customer will be asked to provide additional compensation.
Should the Customer require any specific materials to be utilized in the production process, they must specify the sources and provide them to the Expert. If the references are not provided, the Expert is responsible for locating them. However, additional charges will be incurred and must be paid before the Expert can begin working on the project.
In general, the following deadlines for Orders are in place:
•For Orders due within 12-24 hours, the Customer must supply the sources within 30 minutes of the Order placement;
•For Orders due within 24-72 hours, within 1 hour;
•For Orders with a 72+ hour deadline, sources must be received a day in advance.
If the Customer did not provide materials within the deadline, extra payment and/or time for completing the Order would be required. The Company is not responsible if the Order's instructions were changed or incorrect in the first place. If the Customer adds extra materials after the work is delivered, all the funds can be released to the Expert if initial instructions are followed.
The Customer is highly encouraged to communicate with the Expert using the Messaging System or contacting the Support team directly when seeking more information. By placing an Order on the Website, the Customer acknowledges that it may take a few hours to get a reply from an Expert.
The Customer can track the progress of the Order by using their Personal Account, where information about each Order and its status is displayed. The Customer can also contact Support to request the Order’s progress status by using all communication means. The Support Team is available 24/7.
The Customer may select a Favorite Expert to work on the Order by indicating their name or ID in the “Invite Expert” field. The Customer acknowledges that there is no 100% guarantee that the specific Expert is available to work on the Order. However, the Customer reserves the right to assign another Expert from the list of the biddings.
While ordering the Services, you must not send to the Experts any content which may be considered illegal, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, violent, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful or racially, sexually, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.
Order payment and discounts
When placing an Order, you agree to pay for the provided Service. The Company starts to process your Order only after the payment for the Service is made and authorized. It is recommended that you use a payment card at least six months before the expiration date.
In some cases, the Company might ask the Customer to send a photo of the credit card used to submit the payment. The cardholder’s name and the last four numbers on this card must be visible. The Company holds responsibility for all personal data shared by the Customer and guarantees its confidentiality.
The payment for the product is calculated based on the Company's pricing and is paid in advance, as stated in the order form, once the scope of work is identified. Additionally, the Customer may be charged a service fee for using the website, which is determined by the Company and depends on the order's complexity, parameters, and other features. The exact amount of the service fee is available to the Customer at the payment stage.
The service fee is non-refundable except when the order evaluation is 0% (zero percent).
The Company will not proceed with the product delivery until full payment has been made and authorized.
Orders can be paid by funds from your Personal Balance.
The Company reserves the right to offer discount and bonus programs to Customers at its discretion. The Customer can use promo code(s) when filling out the Order form. If the code is not provided in the corresponding section of the Order form, the promo code will not apply to the Order being placed.
The Company commits to providing equal access to discount and bonus program information for each Customer with no exceptions.
Upon your Order evaluation, the Company may request additional payment or additional time to work on your Order since the volumes of the work to be done to fulfill your requirements can only be defined after a manual review is performed. The Expert determines the final price after the manual review. The Customer may decide at their own will to either agree to new Order parameters and Order Total or refuse to cooperate with the Expert. If the Customer wishes to stop working with Us, a refund will be processed according to the Refund Policy.
When placing Orders and buying Products from the Company, you can only use Visa, Mastercard, or AmericanExpress cards to recharge your Personal Balance.

Refund:
You are not entitled to a refund if:
•You used the Product for personal purposes or as a part of another Order on the Website. In that case, at least 70% of the contract price should be released. Yet, the sum may be modified according to the QA Department investigation.
•A lower grade than what was expected is received. Please keep in mind that we do not guarantee high grades. Our Website is a learning platform that cooperates with Customers and education Experts with the purpose of improving Customer’s educational levels. Thus, we can’t offer a refund for a claim of a failed course or a similar one because the Expert’s task is to help the Customer in accordance with the requirements set out in the Order. It is the Customer’s duty to perform educational tasks independently.
•The editing and proofreading Order did not meet your expectations. Your task is to provide Experts with clear requirements and expectations with respect to Order to be delivered. Thus we are not responsible for errors of contextual nature or instances of content originality problems in materials provided by you to the Expert. The Customer is not entitled to a refund if the Product delivery failed due to quality issues when it is an editing or proofreading order. Moreover, any attempt to choose editing/rewriting Orders as initial instructions and pressuring Experts to produce new content will be deemed as malicious acts.
The refund period has passed. Refunds are available within six months of the original transaction date. Money can be returned to the original payment method that was used for the initial purchase. If six months have passed since the transaction date, we cannot offer you a refund.
Refund processing
Once you receive the refund confirmation, the Company typically processes it within 3 business days. The Company can not be held responsible for your Bank Transfer fees, transfer anomalies, and/or possible delays occurring due to any bank service issues.
Please note that refund processing depends on the payment date (for your Order) and in some cases may have a sharply increased likelihood of experiencing some issue. Unfortunately, we have no control over this, as such refunds are processed by independent payment card network processors, which have their own rules. Therefore, we cannot handle your refund in such a case.
For the same reason, it is also not possible to route a refund from one payment method to another one (e.g., to a new credit card at a different company).
Chargeback
In the event of a chargeback by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with your purchase of the Services, you agree that we may suspend access to any and all accounts you have with us. Fees incurred as the result of chargebacks or other payment disputes brought by you, your bank, or a payment provider and disputes that require accounting or legal services shall be covered by you.
Expired account
In case your last activity on the Website as of the last payment date is for more than 180 (one hundred eighty) days, your account will be considered expired and get deleted. Along with your account or profile, all personal data processed by the Company will be erased.
Deletion of an account
You may request to delete your account anytime, by clicking the deactivate button in your account setting. However, there are no refunds for deactivation.
Before we permanently delete your account, there will be a 14-day window, during which the account will appear as temporarily deactivated. This step gives you space to decide if you would like to reactivate your account. If you have any money left in your account, please let us know by contacting our Support Team during this 14-day window.
In case we suspend or deactivate your account because of a breach of any of our policies, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused Services, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else.
Account deletion is a permanent action. If you decide later that you want to start ordering from us again or if you would like to use Products and Services that require an account, you will need to create a new one.
Payment services
We use third-party payment services to bill you through an online payments account in lieu of directly processing your credit/debit card information. Your paid balance is safe in your account as we use an integrated iframe for checkouts from our partners-payment providers, and the Experts get paid for each confirmed Product. Correspondingly all transactions are secured as our partners-payment providers use encryption protection. We do not store your payment information on our servers.
Data provided by you
You agree and understand that billing information, which you provide to make payment for Services through the Website, namely your credit card information, is processed by our partners-payment providers only. We do not collect, store or otherwise process your billing information.

Payments and taxes
Upon receiving payment from the Customer, we will hold such payment and disburse it to the applicable Expert when an ordered Product is ready (at the previously agreed price). Customers and Experts will be liable for all transaction fees related to the delivery and consumption of services through our Website.

Other
Any payments made via our Website are made solely for the purpose of consumption and delivery of educational Services between Customers and Experts. Such payments may not be made and used for any fraudulent, criminal or illegal activity as defined by the law.
Authorship after a refund
If the Order is canceled, the Customer is prohibited from using the Products that have been provided before the cancellation. According to our Terms and Conditions, we keep full authorship of the Products from the canceled order, and you will have no right to use them. In addition, the Product will be uploaded to repository services repositories; thus, it will be marked as 100% not original.
Changes to this policy
We will post the changes or information about them on our Website, and we will notify you of major modifications by email or through our Website. The most recent version of this Policy will be maintained on the Website.
Normally, we will try to give you some warning before the new terms become effective. However, sometimes changes will need to be made immediately and if this happens, we will not give you any notice.
