TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Update November 26, 2020

Who we are

This Website is an online education platform where Customers can find freelance Writers who can provide high quality essays, dissertations, and other writing services. As a platform, We ensure delivery of the services by Writers and payment to Writers by Customers. On this Website, Customers can find Writers with the skills required for their order and who meet their budget, turnaround time, and other requirements like originality of content.

How It Works

The contents on this website (the “site”) are provided by “Boosta Ltd” (herein after referred to as “We”, “Us”, “Our”), registered under Cyprus Law, located 10 Kyriakou Matsi, Liliana building, office 203, 1082, Nicosia, Cyprus

By using this site / placing an order / making payment, it is deemed that You have read and agreed to the following Terms and Conditions. If You do not agree to them, do not use the site or access the services from it.

Writers are freelancers and are free to apply for an account. Every Writer needs to pass internal tests prior to being able to take orders. Every Writer has his or her own rating. Customers can place an order by following the order process for the specific order which Writers would perform. Once Writers accept these requirements to perform the order, it will be their responsibility to complete it within the agreed time and ensure the quality.

While registering on the site, please, use a valid email address/phone number via which You can be reached since We may be required to contact You. Providing an incorrect email address is a violation of the Terms and Conditions of this agreement. In addition, You can also use your Facebook ID* to register on the site (*if available).

You also understand and agree that the Services may include certain communications from Us, such as service announcements, administrative messages, and updates.

A Writer specializing in a field chosen by the Customer, contacts the Customer right after the order was assigned. The Writer is responsible for obtaining the detailed list of instructions for the order to be successfully completed. Once a Writer’s bid is accepted, the Customer deposits the agreed amount of money with our site.

We use a messaging system for communication. Our Support Team as Well as Writers use a messaging system to get any information on updates regarding the order. Please check the inbox regularly and promptly address any questions, concerns, or additional instructions using this interactive feature.

You are not allowed to disclose and share any personal information (including e-mail address or phone number) with Writers asking to deal directly with You outside of our service. Messages containing fraudulent words and word-phrases will be automatically blocked by our system and will not be visible to the Writer. In case You were caught by sharing personal information, the order will be automatically “Finished” with no further investigation or compensation option. We consider such cases as an attempt to scam our service.

When an order is created by a Customer, both the Customer and the Writer can use the tracking system to know the order progress. We also reflect the status and percentage of completion.

When You upload, submit, store, send, or receive files with text information to or accept similar reports from Our Services, You give/grant to Us (Our representatives, agents, employers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, host, store, reproduce, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations, or other changes).

Delivery and Copyright

We shall not be responsible or liable for any type of delivery issues including those resulting from any of your service providers like the Internet, email, etc. which are beyond our control or failure of customer to download the product. Our Support Team is available to assist You with any delivery problems.

Neither We nor any of our affiliates and / or partners shall be liable for any inappropriate, illegal, unethical, or otherwise wrongful use of the products and / or other written material received from Writers. This includes plagiarism, expulsion, academic probation, loss of scholarships / titles / awards / prizes / grants / positions, lawsuits, poor grading, failure, suspension, or any other disciplinary or legal actions. Customers can seek revisions of the product if it does not meet the specifications provided by the Customer. Release of funds by the Customer is deemed as completion of the order to the satisfaction of the Customer.

In the event that the sources required for your order are rare, obscure, not open sourced, or readily available to the general public, it is your responsibility and You hereby agree to provide those materials at the time You place your Order. Failure to do so will result in a violation of these Terms and Conditions and We may in its sole discretion take whatever action deemed necessary to address said violation, including, but not limited to, refusal to complete your order at all or within the agreed time frame, refusal to fully comply with agreed page requirements of your order, and/or refusal to offer free revisions and/or any refund.

You acknowledge and agree that the finished order is a sample and you do not have the right to issue it as your own. You are personally related to the illegal use of the order.

Payment, Tax and Chargeback

Placing an order on the site for any order/project is free. However, You must fund the project after You accept the bid of a Writer. You shall release the agreed fee on completion and delivery of the order by the Writer and once it is accepted by You; either in stages or in one lump sum on completion of the entire project, based on the terms of your agreement with the Writer. If there are no complaints sent by You using any of the available methods of contact within 72 hours after the Writer has uploaded the final deliverable produced in course of order performance and the order has been marked as 100% completed, the money will be released to the Writer automatically. Please, review your order carefully before releasing the full amount of money reserved for the order. Once the entire agreed sum is received by the Writer, it is deemed that the order is complete and is to your satisfaction.

If You do not plan to use Our services further, We will be allowed to withdraw the money after sending an appropriate request. We ensure fund withdrawal from the User’s account upon request, if such a request is made within a year from the last order date. If You use money from your balance after the request was sent to Us, We reserve the right to reject your request and close the ticket. If You have previously cancelled the order and money was returned to your balance, We reserve the right to investigate the reason of cancellation and make a decision to either approve or decline your withdrawal request based on the results of this investigation. If money on your balance has never been used before, We will refund it within 3-10 business days after the request is placed.

Money shall be stored in your personal account for six months following delivery of the last order. Customer keeps his right to make request regarding the return of unused money to Us within six months from the moment of receiving the last order. After expiration of six months, unused money shall be transferred to Us on account of paying for operating charges.

A chargeback (being a challenge to a payment that a Customer files with their card issuer or financial institution), and any subsequent reversal instruction, is made by the payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) and not by us. We are bound to follow such instructions.

You acknowledge and agree that We will be entitled to recover any chargebacks and reversals that may be imposed on us by a payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors) on funds paid to You by Writers through the Website, as well as any processing or any other fees whatsoever incurred by us on those chargebacks and reversals.

You agree that We may reverse any such payments made to You, which are subject to chargeback or reversal instruction via your payment product issuer or third parties (such as payment processors). If You initiate any chargeback request or other “Request for Information” or similar process, You expressly agree and consent to us to share any and all information in relation to your agreement of these terms and conditions, in order to defeat any such chargeback request.

You are responsible for paying any taxes, including any services or value added taxes, which may be applicable depending on the jurisdiction of the services provided.

You acknowledge that You must comply with your obligations under income tax provisions in your jurisdiction.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

We are here to act on behalf of the Writers to assess refund requests on a case-by-case basis.

Our Money-Back Guarantee sets the conditions to ask for a refund in case you consider that the result of Writer Services does not satisfy the requirements and instructions set out in the Order Form, the Service Contract (which is the arrangement between you and the Writer regarding the order) or this Money-Back Guarantee.

You acknowledge that any refund is provided at our discretion upon the quality assurance procedure specified herein. We reserve the right to deviate from the Money-Back Guarantee in case such deviation favors you as we understand the unique nature of circumstances of each particular case.

You undertake to check your profile as well as emails for any demands, requests, notices, comments sent by a writer or Our authorized persons.

The period of 3 business days (72 hours) is offered to request a refund in case you were dissatisfied with the Writer Services outcome (”Refund Period”). Once the Refund Period elapses, we will not refund any amounts paid. A refund is possible while the order is in progress.

The Refund Period begins immediately after the moment of the Service Contract termination (i.e. when the deadline to provide the Writer Services outcome expires) and elapses in 72 hours on the last day of the Refund Period. Our system provides for the respective countdown of the Refund Period, upon expiration thereof, no refund can be issued.

Money-Back Guarantee allows you to request a full/ partial*/no refund depending on the situations described below.

*Partial refunds can be issued as an exception, depending on the situation described below.

Providing the detailed statement of violations (SOV) is an obligatory requirement and an important part of a refund request process.

The SOV is a numbered list reflecting in details all and any discrepancies between the standards and requirements set out in the Order Form or provided for in the Service Contract or Money-Back Guarantee, and actual outcome of Writer Services, which you refer to as the basis for your refund request. In case plagiarism is an issue, you are required to provide a valid evidence (as defined by point 1.5 of Money-Back Guarantee) to supplement the relevant reference in SOV.

Quality-based refund requests are reviewed by our specialists and processed within 3-5 business days upon receipt.

You can request a limitless number of revisions within the following time frames:

- orders up to 10 pages - within 14 days after the order delivery (the deadline indicated on the order);

In case you wish a revision, you'll be required to supply the writer with some additional time or to expand the due date. You should consider that the writer may require the minimum of 24 hours to revise the order. If you provide the writer with any data/materials/documents, or sources after your order is complete, you should place another compensatory order.

If you provide necessary information requested by our Financial Department for verification purposes, please note that the order deadline will need to be extended.
