1. Purpose of the Policy
At ContentXprtz, we are committed to delivering high-quality academic editing, consulting, formatting, and publication support services to researchers, scholars, institutions, and professionals around the world. Our goal is to ensure that every client is satisfied with the quality, timeliness, and professionalism of the work we deliver.
This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which you may be eligible for a full or partial refund, the process to request one, and the timelines we follow. Since our services are intellectual, creative, and time-bound in nature, refunds are governed by strict, transparent criteria to protect both clients and service providers.
This policy applies to all services purchased through:
-
Our official website www.contentxprtz.com,
-
Direct institutional contracts, or
-
Email-based service confirmations.
By placing an order with ContentXprtz, you agree to be bound by this Refund Policy in addition to our [Terms and Conditions] and [Privacy Policy].
2. Scope of Services Covered
This Refund Policy applies to all paid services offered by ContentXprtz (Rudrriv Solutions Private Limited), including but not limited to:
2.1 Covered Services
Refunds may be requested for the following categories:
-
Academic Editing (Language Editing, Substantive Editing, Formatting)
-
Proofreading and Copyediting
-
Journal Submission Support
-
Plagiarism Reduction Services
-
Infographic or Visual Design
-
Grant Writing Assistance
-
Research Consulting (including literature review help, methodology, or statistical input)
-

Each of the above services is governed by the same core refund eligibility principles, except where explicitly stated otherwise.
2.2 Excluded Services (Non-Refundable)
Certain services are non-refundable under any circumstances, including:
-
Custom publication strategy reports or journal matching once delivered
-
Expedited or same-day delivery surcharges
-
Services fully completed and accepted by the client (explicitly or implicitly)
-
Projects where the client fails to respond to communication or clarification requests within 15 calendar days
-
Payments made toward revisions that fall outside the scope of the original service
-
Subscription-based or retainer-based engagements after the first deliverable has been sent
Additionally, consulting hours used, or subjective dissatisfaction (e.g., “not what I expected” without evidence of a breach of scope or standard) do not qualify as valid grounds for a refund.
3. Refund Eligibility Criteria
Refunds will be considered only when a valid claim is made in accordance with the following criteria. All refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure fairness to both the client and our editorial/consulting team.
3.1 Eligibility for Full Refund
You may be eligible for a 100% refund under the following conditions:
-
Order Cancellation Before Assignment: If you cancel your order before an editor, designer, or consultant has been assigned.
-
Duplicate Payment: If you are accidentally charged twice for the same service and notify us within 7 days.
-
Inability to Deliver: If we are unable to assign your project due to subject-area limitations, timeline conflicts, or unavailability.
-
Delivery Failure: If we fail to deliver any part of the service within the committed timeframe and no rescheduling agreement is in place.
3.2 Eligibility for Partial Refund
You may be eligible for a partial refund under the following conditions:
-
Service Dissatisfaction (with evidence): If you are dissatisfied with the quality of editing or support and provide concrete, documented evidence (e.g., errors, missed formatting, improper tone). A review will be conducted, and partial refund may be issued after internal validation.
-
Project Cancellation Midway: If you cancel a project after partial completion, you may be refunded for the unworked portion only.
-
Revision Failure: If we commit to specific revision rounds and fail to honor them under the terms agreed.
In such cases, store credit or additional revision may be offered as an alternative, depending on your preference.
3.3 Ineligible Scenarios
Refunds will not be granted for:
-
Change of mind after work has started
-
Delayed response from the client causing project delays
-
Failure to read service descriptions, revision limits, or Terms and Conditions
-
Poor journal acceptance outcomes unrelated to language or formatting quality
-
Third-party rejection or negative peer review unless clearly tied to our deliverable
4. Partial Refunds or Credits
In cases where a full refund is not warranted but service deficiencies are acknowledged, ContentXprtz may offer a partial refund, store credit, or corrective service at no additional charge.
4.1 Partial Refunds
A partial refund may be issued based on the following factors:
-
Percentage of work completed at the time of cancellation or dispute
-
Degree of service deviation from the originally agreed scope
-
Extent of editorial or formatting errors, as validated by our internal quality assurance team
-
Client cooperation during revision or resolution processes
Partial refund amounts are calculated at our discretion, typically ranging from 20% to 60% of the service value, depending on the case.
4.2 Service Credits
In some cases, you may choose to receive a service credit instead of a refund. Credits can be applied to:
-
Future editing or consulting projects
-
Revisions or resubmissions within 6 months
-
Institutional or multi-author orders under the same account
Service credits are non-transferable, and valid for 12 months from the date of issuance unless otherwise stated in writing.
4.3 Goodwill Offers
Even in scenarios where refund eligibility is not strictly met, we may, at our sole discretion:
-
Offer free revisions or re-editing
-
Provide a discount on your next order
-
Extend turnaround time or assign senior reviewers for quality assurance
These are goodwill measures and do not imply fault or admission of service failure.
