In case of Order cancellation, the Writer might not be reimbursed for the particular Order. The Writer recognizes the right of the Company to determine and impose the appropriate sanctions depending on the circumstances on each particular case.
The Company reserves the right to add a fine manually for any instances for Terms and Conditions violation, abuse of deadline extension request option, repeated cases of late reassign requests, fraudulent activity* etc. Each case is investigated individually by the Account Manager.
- Fines and penalties are deductions made by the Company from payments due to the fault of the writer.
- You are allowed to send a fine removal request, but you have to provide concise and informative arguments to justify your action. Remember that a fine removal request is only valid within five (5) days prior to the scheduled Payout Dates. You should state the reasons for reconsideration of the fine in the Order messages with the subject “Fine Removal Request”. Fine reconsideration requests must not be duplicated under any circumstances. The duplication of fine reconsideration requests shall result to the denial of both requests. The investigation conducted by Support and Quality Assurance Departments usually takes up to three (3) business days from the time the dispute was submitted. Writer shall abide by the decision of the Support and Quality Assurance Departments, which decision shall be considered final.
- Below, you can find cases when fines are applied and tips on how to avoid them:
Plagiarism:
- Whenever a paper contains adopted material, which is identical to the source, without being properly cited and referenced, it is considered plagiarized. A plagiarism penalty constitutes 25% for each plagiarized paper.
- Every case of plagiarism is a serious violation of our rules and principles of academic writing. Any case of plagiarism, upon the consideration of the Quality Assurance Department, may lead to closure of the plagiarizing writer’s account.
- If a plagiarized paper evades immediate detection, it can reach the customer, who would subsequently discover the plagiarized sections. In such an event, the writer receives no payment, and is fined up to 100% of the fee for that paper.
Late Delivery of the Paper:
- Whenever a deadline is exceeded, through the writer’s fault, and the paper is still required by the customer, the writer is fined 25% of the fee.
- The Company may increase the amounts of fines for late delivery at its own discretion, depending on the scale of the problem and the damage caused to the business.
- Fines for lateness will be applied in the case when the writer asks for an extension after the deadline has already passed, even if he/she is later provided with more time. Such fines will not be applied if: a) the writer is not notified about an urgent revision via a phone call from support; or, b) the writer is assigned upon the customer’s request and does not receive a call from support. Please be available over the phone and check the correctness of your number in your profile. Do not be afraid to notify support, when you receive a call from them, about any problems which prevents you from accessing your profile. If support calls the writer, but no one picks up the phone, the lateness fine will be applied.
- Writers must keep track of deadlines for orders. It is obligatory to notify support about lateness or to ask for extension at least 1 hour ahead of time. Otherwise, the fine will be applied, even if the extension is granted. The fine will not be applied in case the writer does everything right, but support provides more time after the order is late. In case the writer asks for an extension in advance, but there is no more extension possible or the customer does not allow an extension, the fine will be applied.
- When the profile does not work or there are any other technical problems with the website, the writer must send the completed/revised paper to info@engwriters.combefore the deadline for the order expires. In case the paper is sent to the e-mail late, the lateness fine is applied.
- The lateness fine will be removed in case the writer is waiting for the reply from the customer, which is crucial for the order process. In such cases, it is better to ask for an extension from support in advance with the reason: waiting for customer’s reply in order to avoid lateness notification.
- Excuses such as power and internet outages, sickness, software or computer crash, and being into police custody among other excuses will not be tolerated and the appropriate fines will still hold
Deadline Extension:
After you press “Request Extension” button on the order page and indicate extension time, you will should expect the following:
- You get an automatic deadline extension and no fine will be applied;
- Your deadline cannot be extended, as it will then exceed the one set by customer. In this case your extension request will be sent to Support Team, and if the extension is possible it will be given to you with a most probable 25% fine, as we will be required to make a partial refund for the customer.
Remember that fines are applied if it is writer’s fault and you require more time for completion of the order. In case you are waiting for customer’s reply or clarifications – fines should be avoided.
Extension Late:
If the deadline for the order has already passed, but you still want an extension, we do not promise to give you one. Our support team will contact the customer and find out if an extension is possible. Please, note that this will cause a partial refund for the customer and a 25% fine for you.
Wrong Style:
Whenever a paper is submitted in the wrong citation style (formatting and layout / referencing / specific academic format requirements, and so on), the writer is fined 10% of the fee.
Wrong File:
Whenever a writer submits a paper completed for another order, an irrelevant paper, or an unfinished paper with missing pages or required number of words, the fine of 10% of the fee is applied.
Dispute:
In case of a dispute, due to the writer’s fault, a fine up to 100% of the bid may be applied. Fines for lateness, wrong file, wrong format, etc., in disputed orders, can be removed only by the Dispute Manager. He decides the amount that will be paid to the writer, taking into consideration all fines applied in the order. Do not ask the Dispute Manager to remove the fine in the disputed order. You can only negotiate his decision with your comments and explanations.
Withdrawing an Offer after Initial Acceptance
Writers are to make sure they check the details, instructions, availability of materials needed, programs and the deadline before applying for an order or confirming the work on it.
Whenever a writer retracts from an assignment after the initial stage has passed, the writer is liable for the retraction. Retracting from an assignment can result in a fine, which calculation depends on the deadline passed. The percentage of the fine may vary from 10-100% of the fee due for the current order.
No Confirmation Received:
This fine is applied mostly for 8-hour orders, where support has to receive confirmation from the writer within half an hour. If there is no confirmation received, support can reassign an order with the fine applied. Please do not forget to check your personal order page and confirm them as soon as possible, especially when you place bids for urgent orders.
Fines Removal:
- When the writer is waiting for the Customer’s reply, materials to be attached, experience technical or other difficulties, it is the writer’s direct responsibility to inform an operator about any possible delays in advance, request deadline extensions or perform other actions required to resolve the problem before a fine is applied.
- If the writer receives a written confirmation from the Customer on any new order instructions (deadline adjustment, new number of pages, etc.), it is the writer’s responsibility to make sure that the order details are updated according to the recent changes.
- Please contact our Support Team regarding any technical issues or other difficulties beforehand, in order to prolong the deadline of a paper and prevent any fines in the future.
CANCELLATION
- If an assignment is cancelled by the customer because of low paper quality, late delivery, plagiarism and other reasons attributable to a writer’s fault or mismanagement of an order, the writer receives no payment for the paper. In addition, a fine may be applied by the company.
- A writer is not liable for cancellations of assignments made by a customer, due to the customer’s own reasons which are not the writer’s fault. In such cases, you may send the completed part of the paper to the Writers Department (via the system Messages section of the web-site) within 3 hours after the order cancellation (or 3 hours after you read the message if the order was cancelled at night in your timezone). The Writers Department will then check the paper for plagiarism and issue a compensation for your work.
