Client shall use  PayPal for payment transaction in order to purchase writing services. Client agrees to fully abide by this Terms of Service Agreement.

Writing projects will be completed in a timely manner.

The company will advise Client of any additional time needed. Unless otherwise agreed, for resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profile projects, a proof will generally be provided within 3 to 5 days of receipt of the initial consultation.  We provide each client with five days from the date we email their proof to advise us of any edits and to have them incorporated. The exact delivery date of the final proof will be determined by agreement of both parties. Once the edits have been incorporated and the five(5) day grace period has concluded, the project will be considered finalized.  Any additional information/edits that are requested outside the five (5) day grace period will have additional fees assessed.

All writing projects include preparation of an initial proof and a five day revision period from the date the proof is delivered.
