Terms of Service

Last updated: add effective date

Draft notice: This is a starting-point draft, not reviewed by a licensed attorney. Have it reviewed before relying on it, particularly the payment, refund, and liability sections.

Acceptance of terms

By using this website or engaging RigorWrite Research's services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Description of services

RigorWrite Research provides research consulting: methodology guidance, statistical analysis, evidence synthesis, editing, and related academic and publication support. Our services are consulting and analysis support — we do not produce work intended to be submitted by a client as their own original, independently-authored work in contexts where that would violate an institution's or publisher's policies.

Client responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate project information, and for confirming with your institution, supervisor, or publisher whether and how outside consulting support must be disclosed under their specific policies. See our Academic Integrity Policy.

Quotes & pricing

Figures shown by the pricing calculator on this site are estimates for guidance only, not binding quotes. A final price is confirmed after we review your specific project details. Our general pricing average is $25–$50 per page depending on complexity and timeline — see our Pricing page.

Payment terms

Payment is accepted via PayPal, invoiced after a quote is confirmed. Add specific payment schedule details once decided (e.g., deposit required, milestone payments, payment due before/after delivery).

Revisions

Define your revisions policy here once decided (e.g., number of included revision rounds, timeframe to request them).

Cancellations & refunds

Define your cancellation and refund policy here once decided.

Intellectual property

You retain ownership of your research, data, and final work product. RigorWrite Research retains no ownership claim over client research or deliverables produced for a client.

Confidentiality

Project information is handled confidentially — see our Confidentiality Policy. NDAs are available on request.

Limitation of liability

RigorWrite Research provides consulting and support services; we do not guarantee specific outcomes such as journal acceptance, a particular grade, or committee approval, since these depend on factors outside our control. This section in particular should be reviewed by a lawyer to properly limit liability under your jurisdiction's law.

Governing law

Specify the governing jurisdiction once your business registration location is finalized.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
