Discounts

Total discount on an order is capped at maximum 50% of your order value. This includes discounts availed via redemption of points, coupon codes or volume discounts.

Journal URL

The responsibility of providing a functional Journal guidelines URL for formatting lies with the client. We may or may not get back to you if the journal URL provided by you is inactive or in a language other than English. If the URL requires us to login, please provide the login details.

Quotation

It is deemed that once you have accepted our quotation over e-mail, it is a formal order. You are then liable to make payment for the order even if you disagree with the pricing at a later stage.

Auto responder from our website is not a confirmation that we have started editing your assignment. We reply to all requests with the exact quotations.

If there is a mismatch between the deadline you have given us and the priority selection, we will give preference to the priority and not the deadline when giving you the pricing details.

For direct TeX editing and for editing a TeX file in MS Word delivery format, we request you to always send us the PDF file along with the TeX file. In case you do not send us the PDF file, we e-mail you to send us the PDF file. However, if we do not receive the file, we will be unable to send you the quotation or start editing your assignment.

E-mail Address

By providing your email address and consent to us, you give us permission to send you regular updates about our services and company. If you ask us specifically not to send e-mails to you, we will stop sending you e-mails. For European Economic Area (EEA) members, promotional emails will be sent to you only if you give consent.

If your e-mail address is not functional and we encounter issues such as e-mail bouncing, we are not liable for delivery of your files. We will try and contact you once through the contacts provided by you over e-mail. You need to contact us to receive your edited files in such situations.

Delivery of Files

We always deliver edited documents within the deadline promised to you. In case you do not receive your document, please contact us immediately. In addition, check your junk e-mail folder.

For editing PDF file in PDF delivery format, we require single column documents with double spacing. This is because it is difficult to edit files in double column and single space format, as there is not sufficient room for writing and the final markup is often not legible. In case your documents do not meet the abovementioned criteria, we change the delivery file format to MS Word for maintaining the quality of the edited document. This will help you to clearly see the changes made with the help of track changes.

User Content

By uploading or sending any User Content, you give Enago (and those it works with) a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable, and sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, store, and use your User Content in connection with the provision of the services/software and to improve the algorithms underlying the services/software. This data used is not personally identifiable and is only used to improve the services/software and not used for any other purpose.

Editors have signed a confidentiality agreement to waive their claim to any intellectual property submitted through our service. You represent that you have obtained all necessary third party rights, including (without limitation) copyrights, for any Documents or portions thereof that belong to third parties. It is your responsibility to determine if it is necessary for you to obtain, and for obtaining, any licenses required to use third party content that is part of the Documents. You agree not to use the services for or provide documents with any infringing, illegal, sexually explicit, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material, including (without limitation) any materials that could give rise to any liability to Enago or that might adversely affect Enago’s public image, reputation, or goodwill.

Website

This website is owned and operated by Enago and is protected by international copyright and trademark laws. You may not modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute in any way, any material from this site, including code and software.

Others

Enago may, in its sole and absolute discretion, immediately terminate service, should the client's conduct fail to conform to the terms and conditions of our service.

By using our service, the client agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of Enago’s service.

Word Count Reduction

1) Word Count Reduction service is provided free up to 10% for Copy Editing, and up to 20% for Substantive Editing. For further word count reduction, our Client Servicing Team will inform you about the charges. However, we cannot guarantee that the word count will definitely be reduced. This is because sometimes the scope is limited and we cannot judge the areas a client wants to focus on. In such cases, therefore, we will highlight instances in the manuscript where the author can remove content for word count reduction.

2) Formatting service (free or paid) does not include Word Count Reduction.

3) The Client Servicing Team will inform you of additional charges if you inform them about the requirement. In case you do not inform them, we may not be able to reduce the word count according to your requirements.

Advance Payment

We request an advance payment of the entire fee of the assignment for all requests to start working on your document. In case advance payment is not made before the delivery of the file or as informed by the customer service, we will not deliver the file. However, in certain special cases, Enago reserves the right to waive off this clause and can also seek complete or partial payment after the delivery of the edited document.

If for any reasons you are unable to make the payment in advance please contact us in writing mentioning such reasons specifically. We consider genuine reasons and can try making alternative arrangements.

Choosing your freelance editor

Existing clients have the option of choosing the editor for the future assignment while filling the quotation form. In this scenario, we will try to assign the document to the chosen editor. However, we won’t be able to guarantee that the same editor is chosen as this is contingent on the editor’s availability, type of editing service, etc. In case, we can’t give the document to the same editor, our current systems do not allow us to inform you of the non-adherence. Non-selection will not constitute a cancellation of the order or the inquiry.
