Our Refunds and Revision Policies Explained (With Real Examples)

Refund and revision policies define your rights and recourse when ordering academic writing services. These policies establish when you're entitled to free revisions if work doesn't meet specifications, when refunds are warranted if issues cannot be resolved, and what processes govern dispute resolution and quality guarantees.

Revisions occur when delivered work doesn't match original specifications or meet stated quality standards. Common revision scenarios include wrong length (ordered 5 pages, received 4), incorrect citation style (requested APA, received MLA), quality below academic level ordered, or deviation from specific instructions provided.

Free revisions are appropriate when the service failed to deliver what was promised, not when customers change requirements after delivery or have subjective preferences about valid approaches.

Refunds apply when the revision cannot adequately resolve issues. Full refunds are warranted when the service cannot deliver at all, when fundamental quality failures persist despite revision attempts, or when serious integrity violations like plagiarism occur.

Partial refunds may be appropriate for minor issues causing inconvenience, such as delivery delays, or when a revision is warranted but time constraints prevent it. Refunds are not appropriate for changed requirements, normal grade outcomes, or issues caused by how customers use model essays.

The key distinction between revision and refund situations lies in whether the problem can be corrected. If the service delivered something different from what was ordered or below promised standards, but correction is feasible, revision is appropriate. If delivery is impossible, quality cannot be brought to acceptable levels despite attempts, or integrity violations occurred, refunds become necessary.

Fair policies balance customer rights to quality work meeting specifications against protection from unreasonable demands. They establish clear boundaries about what services will and won't do, provide transparent processes for requesting revisions or refunds, and outline reasonable timelines for resolution.

Well-designed policies prevent disputes through clarity while building trust through demonstrated commitment to standing behind quality promises. Understanding these policies before ordering enables informed decisions and confident engagement with essay writing services, knowing exactly what recourse exists if issues arise.

You’re about to invest money in a model essay. Before you do, you need to know: What happens if something goes wrong? What are your rights? What recourse do you have?

Many essay services bury policies in dense legal language, make refunds nearly impossible to obtain, or handle revisions inconsistently. You place an order not knowing what you’re really agreeing to, and only discover the limitations when you have a problem.

We believe you deserve crystal-clear policies before you order—not vague promises, but specific, honest explanations of what we will and won’t do, when revisions are appropriate, when refunds are warranted, and what the process looks like.

This article provides complete transparency about our refund and revision policies. You’ll see real examples of how we’ve applied these policies, understand exactly what qualifies for revisions or refunds, and know what to expect if issues arise.

No fine print. No surprises. Just an honest explanation of our policies and your rights.

For the complete legal text, see our full policy. This article explains that policy in plain language with practical examples.

Our Core Philosophy: Fair Treatment

Before diving into specifics, understand our approach:

The Principle

We believe:

• You deserve quality work that meets our standards.
• If we don’t deliver on our promises, we should make it right.
• Clear policies prevent disputes and build trust.
• Fair treatment serves everyone’s long-term interests.

We don’t believe:

• In making refunds impossible through technicalities.
• In fighting legitimate revision requests.
• In hiding behind vague policy language.
• In treating customers as adversaries.

The Balance

Our policies balance:

• Your right to the quality work you paid for.
• Our commitment to standards and fairness.
• Protection from unreasonable demands.
• Clarity about what we can and can’t do.

This balance requires clear boundaries about when revisions/refunds apply and when they don’t.

Revision Policy: When We’ll Revise for Free

Let’s start with revisions, which are more common than refunds:

When Free Revisions Are Warranted

Scenario 1: We Didn’t Meet Original Specifications

What this means: The delivered essay doesn’t match what you ordered in clear, objective ways.

Examples that qualify:

1. Wrong length:

• You ordered 5 pages.
• Received 4 pages.
• Clear numerical shortfall.

2. Wrong citation style:

• You ordered APA, received MLA.
• Objectively verifiable error.

3. Wrong academic level:

• You ordered a graduate level.
• Received high school-level.
  Quality mismatch is evident.

4. Ignored specific instructions:

• You requested focus on a specific theory.
• Essay uses a different one.
• Clear deviation from instructions.

5. Wrong format:

• You requested a research paper format.
• Received essay format.
• Structural mismatch.

What happens: We revise at no charge to meet original specifications.

Scenario 2: Quality Doesn’t Meet Our Stated Standards

What this means: The essay has objective quality problems that our review process should have caught.

Examples that qualify:

1. Factual errors:

• Incorrect information or false claims.
• Errors of fact, not interpretation.

2. Citation errors:

• Incorrect citation format.
• Missing citations for sources used.
• Bibliography errors.

3. Grammar/mechanics problems:

• Consistent grammar errors.
• Spelling mistakes throughout.
• Unclear or confusing writing.

4. Insufficient development:

• Arguments lack support.
• Analysis is superficial-Required sections are missing.

What happens: We revise to bring quality up to our standards.

Scenario 3: Source or Research Issues

What this means: Problems with sources, citations, or research quality.

Examples that qualify:

Fabricated sources:

• Citations to sources that don’t exist.
• Made-up research or data.

Misused sources:

• Sources don’t actually support claims made.
• Quotes taken out of context.
• Misrepresentation of source content.

Inappropriate sources:

• Sources not suitable for the academic level.
• Unreliable or non-credible sources.
• Outdated sources when current ones are needed.

What happens: We revise with proper sources and accurate citations.

The Revision Process

How to request: 

1. Submit a revision request through the customer portal
2. Specify what needs revision with examples.
3. Reference original requirements.
4. Provide a clear explanation of issues.

Timeline:

• We respond within 24 hours.
• Revisions completed within 2-5 days, depending on scope.
• You’re updated on progress.

Review:

• Revision goes through the same editorial review as the original.
• We verify issues are addressed.
• Quality standards applied.

Delivery:

• Revised essay delivered through the portal.
• You can verify improvements.
• Additional revision if original issues are not resolved.

Real Revision Examples

Example 1: Length Shortfall

• Situation: Customer ordered a 2,000-word essay, received 1,750 words.
• Customer request: “This is 250 words short of what I ordered.”
• Our response: “You’re absolutely right. This should be 2,000 words. We’re sending it for revision to add the required content.”
• Resolution: Writer added 300 words (slight overage to ensure full compliance), essay re-reviewed and delivered at 2,050 words.
• Outcome: Issue objectively clear, quickly resolved, customer satisfied.

Example 2: Citation Style Error

• Situation: Customer ordered APA format, essay delivered in MLA.
• Customer request: “I specifically requested APA Citations. This is MLA.”
• Our response: “We apologize for this error. We’re converting all citations to APA format immediately.”
• Resolution: Editor converted all citations and bibliography to proper APA format, verified accuracy, and re-delivered.
• Outcome: Clear specification not met, corrected at no charge.

Example 3: Quality Below Standards

• Situation: Essay delivered with an analysis that was too shallow for a graduate level.
• Customer request: “This analysis is too basic for a master’s level paper. The arguments need more depth and engagement with theory.”
• Our response: “We agree this doesn’t meet graduate-level paper-level expectations. We’re sending it back for substantial revision to add theoretical depth and sophisticated analysis.”
• Resolution: Writer added 600 words of advanced analysis, incorporated more complex theoretical frameworks, and deepened engagement. Essay re-reviewed and re-delivered.
• Outcome: Quality issue acknowledged and corrected to meet appropriate standards.

What Doesn’t Qualify for Free Revision

To be fair to everyone, we must also be clear about what doesn’t warrant free revision:

Scenario 1: Changed Your Mind About Requirements

Example: “I ordered an essay on Topic A, but now I need it to be about Topic B instead.”

Why this doesn’t qualify:

• We delivered what you ordered.
• Changing requirements after delivery is a new order.
• We completed our obligation.

Alternative: New order at a discounted rate for repeat customers.

Scenario 2: Subjective Preferences

Example: “I don’t like the specific examples used” or “I prefer a different argument approach.”

Why this doesn’t qualify:

•  If specifications were met, the writer’s choices are valid.
• Subjective preferences differ from objective quality.
• Academic work allows multiple valid approaches.

Exception: If original instructions specified particular examples or an approach that wasn’t followed, that’s a legitimate revision.

Scenario 3: Grade Disputes

Example: “I got a B instead of an A, so I want a revision.”

Why this doesn’t qualify:

• We don’t control your grades.
• Many factors affect grades beyond essay quality.
• Modelessays are learning tools, not guaranteed grade products.
• Your professor’s judgment is their own.

Note: If the grade is low due to quality issues we should have caught (errors, poor quality), that’s different and would warrant review.

Scenario 4: Requirements Not Communicated Initially

Example: “Can you add a section on X?” when X wasn’t in the original order specifications.

Why this doesn’t qualify:

• Additional requirements are additions, not corrections.
• We can only deliver what was requested.
• New requirements = new work.

Alternative: Additional charges for expanded scope.

Scenario 5: Issues Caused by Your Use

Example: “I paraphrased sections and got plagiarism detection. Fix it.”

Why this doesn’t qualify:

• We delivered original work.
• Plagiarism occurred in your usage, not our delivery.
• We’re not responsible for how you use the model.

Note: If the original essay had plagiarism, that’s our problem and would be revised.

Refund Policy: When Money Back Is Appropriate

Refunds are for situations where revision isn’t sufficient:

Full Refund Situations

Situation 1: We Can’t Deliver

Examples:

• Writer unexpectedly unavailable.
• Assignment proves unfeasible.
• We can’t meet the deadline.
• Technical problems prevent delivery.

What happens: Full refund, no questions asked.

Situation 2: Fundamental Quality Failure

Examples:

• Essay is completely off-topic despite revision attempts.
• Quality so poor that revision can’t fix it.
• Multiple revision attempts don’t resolve issues.

What happens: After good-faith revision attempts, if we can’t produce acceptable work, a full refund is issued.

Situation 3: Serious Integrity Violation

Examples:

• Plagiarism in the delivered essay.
• Fabricated research we missed.
• Violated ethical standards.

What happens: Immediate full refund if an integrity issue is confirmed.

Partial Refund Situations

Situation 1: Minor Issues Causing Inconvenience

Example: Delivery delayed by one day due to our error, causing you inconvenience.

What happens: Partial refund or credit for future order as compensation for the inconvenience.

Situation 2: Revision Needed, But Time Constraints

Example: Issue qualifies for revision, but your deadline doesn’t allow time for it.

What happens: Partial refund acknowledging we didn’t fully meet obligations, even though not entirely our fault.

What Doesn’t Qualify for a Refund

Situation 1: Changed Mind

Not eligible for refund if we delivered what was ordered and you simply changed your mind about needing it.

Situation 2: Normal Revisions

If the issue can be fixed through revision, we revise rather than refund. Refunds are for situations where revision isn’t viable.

Situation 3: Grade Outcomes

Your professor’s grade is not grounds for a refund. We provide quality modelessays, not grade guarantees.

Exception: If a poor grade is due to quality issues that shouldn’t have passed our review, we’ll investigate and potentially refund.

The Refund Process

How to request: 

1. Contact support through the portal.
2. Explain the issue with specifics.
3. Provide evidence if relevant.

Real Refund Examples

• Situation: The Writer became ill mid-project and couldn’t complete. Reassignment would miss the deadline.
• Customer communication: “We’re unable to complete your essay by the deadline due to an unexpected writer's illness. We’re issuing a full refund immediately.”
• Resolution: Full refund processed, customer offered priority discount for future order.
• Outcome: Took responsibility for the delivery failure, customer was treated fairly.

Example 2: Persistent Quality Issues (Full Refund)

• Situation: Essay revised twice, but still didn’t meet graduate standards despite efforts.
• Customer communication: “We’ve attempted two revisions but haven’t achieved the graduate-level quality you deserve. We’re issuing a full refund.”
• Resolution: Full refund issued, writer's performance reviewed internally for improvement.
• Outcome: Acknowledged inability to meet standards, refunded rather than deliver subpar work.

Example 3: Delivery Delay (Partial Refund)

• Situation: A Technical issue caused an 18-hour delivery delay.
• Customer communication: “We apologize for the delay caused by our technical problems. We’re providing a 20% refund to acknowledge the inconvenience.”
• Resolution: Essay delivered, 20% refund provided, plus priority handling for any future orders.
• Outcome: Compensated for inconvenience even though work was ultimately delivered.
