Payment

All invoices must be paid before the completed work is returned. Corporate and government clients may supply a purchase order or letter of authorization to contract services with payment on invoice at 30 days net.

Prices are in Canadian dollars. U.S. Clients only may pay in U.S. dollars. Invoices will be sent in the preferred currency based on your location.

Terms and Prices are subject to change without notice. Where any submitted material has excessive grammatical errors to the point that it is difficult to understand what the writer intends, the price on the invoice may be higher than the prices posted on the website. The User always has the option to decline our invoice and thereby cancel any contract of service. Additionally, we may decline a job for any reason, including: difficulty understanding the writing, an overdemand for our services at that moment, or unavailability of the editor. We will notify our clients of declined jobs as soon as possible so you can seek an alternative editor.
