You remain responsible for:

  • Understanding and following your institution’s academic-integrity policies
  • Ensuring that any submitted work accurately represents your own contribution
  • Disclosing editorial or research assistance where required
  • Checking all information, citations, calculations, and conclusions
  • Following applicable authorship, ethics, and publication requirements

You must not use our services to facilitate plagiarism, cheating, impersonation, examination misconduct, fabricated research, falsified data, false authorship, misleading credentials, or any other unlawful or dishonest activity.

We may refuse, suspend, or terminate a project if we reasonably believe that it is intended to support academic misconduct or another prohibited activity.

6. Enquiries and Quotations

You are responsible for providing complete and accurate information about your project, including the subject, academic level, required service, word or page count, deadline, marking criteria, institutional instructions, referencing style, existing material, and any other relevant requirements.

A quotation is based on the information available when it is prepared. Unless otherwise stated, quotations are valid for [insert number] days.

A quotation does not create a binding obligation until:

  1. You accept the quotation;
  2. We confirm that the project has been accepted; and
  3. We receive the required payment or deposit.

If information supplied after acceptance materially changes the project, we may revise the price, scope, or delivery schedule.

7. Online Price Estimates

Any price displayed by a website calculator or order form is an initial estimate only. The final price may change after we review the complete requirements and supporting documents.

Estimates may be affected by:

  • The selected service
  • Academic or professional level
  • Subject complexity
  • Word or page count
  • Research requirements
  • Data-analysis requirements
  • Existing material
  • Required deadline
  • Formatting or referencing requirements
  • Specialist availability
  • The level of editing or consultancy required

The confirmed quotation will take priority over any automated estimate.

8. Prices, Currency, and Payment

Prices will be stated in the quotation or order confirmation. Prices may be quoted in Pakistani rupees or another clearly identified currency.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • Payment must be made according to the schedule stated in the quotation;
  • We may require full or partial payment before work begins;
  • Work may be paused while an outstanding payment remains unpaid;
  • Bank, currency-conversion, transfer, or payment-processor fees may be payable by the client; and
  • Any applicable taxes will be handled as required by law.

You must contact us promptly if you believe that a payment has been processed incorrectly. Initiating an unjustified payment dispute or chargeback without first allowing us a reasonable opportunity to investigate may result in suspension of the relevant service.

9. Client Responsibilities

To enable us to provide the agreed service, you must:

  • Supply accurate and complete requirements;
  • Provide readable and accessible files;
  • Confirm that you have permission to share all supplied materials;
  • Respond to reasonable questions without unnecessary delay;
  • Review drafts and deliverables within the agreed time;
  • Provide consolidated and specific revision instructions;
  • Keep your contact details current; and
  • Retain your own copies of important documents.

You should remove unnecessary personal, confidential, or sensitive information from uploaded documents before sending them to us.

We are not responsible for delays, omissions, or additional costs caused by incomplete instructions, inaccessible files, inaccurate information, or delayed client responses.

10. Changes to the Agreed Scope

The agreed service is limited to the requirements recorded in the confirmed quotation or order summary.

The following may be treated as additional work:

  • Changing the topic or research question;
  • Adding new chapters, sections, slides, pages, or deliverables;
  • Increasing the word count;
  • Replacing the original brief or marking criteria;
  • Introducing new data or sources;
  • Requesting a different methodology;
  • Shortening the confirmed deadline;
  • Requesting a complete rewrite after approval;
  • Providing new supervisor, client, recruiter, or reviewer instructions; or
  • Requesting work outside the original service.

We will explain any additional cost or revised deadline before undertaking material work outside the agreed scope.

11. Deadlines and Delivery

A deadline is confirmed only when it is included in our written quotation or order confirmation.

Delivery may be made by email, secure download link, client portal, messaging service, or another agreed electronic method. A deliverable will be considered delivered when it is sent to the contact details provided by the client or made available through the agreed delivery method.

We will make reasonable efforts to meet confirmed deadlines. However, a delivery schedule may be adjusted where delays are caused by:

  • Late or incomplete client instructions;
  • Delayed payments;
  • Inaccessible or corrupted files;
  • Changes to the agreed scope;
  • Delayed client feedback;
  • Technical interruptions;
  • Illness, emergencies, or events beyond reasonable control.

Where a client-caused delay occurs, the original deadline may no longer be available.

12. Urgent Services

Urgent work is subject to project complexity and specialist availability. An urgency charge may apply.

An urgent deadline is not confirmed until we have reviewed the requirements, accepted the project, and received the required payment.

Urgent work may allow less time for consultation or optional revision stages. Any special arrangements will be explained in the quotation.

13. Revisions

Revision rights will be stated in the quotation or relevant Refund and Revision Policy.

A revision generally qualifies when it:

  • Is requested within the stated revision period;
  • Relates directly to the original instructions;
  • Does not materially change the project;
  • Falls within the agreed service; and
  • Is supported by clear and consolidated feedback.

A request may be treated as additional paid work if it introduces new requirements, changes an approved direction, expands the scope, or is submitted after the revision period.

Revisions do not include unlimited rewriting or continuing support unless this has been expressly agreed.

14. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund requests will be considered according to the project status, work already completed, costs incurred, the bespoke nature of the service, and our published Refund and Revision Policy.

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise:

  • A cancellation made before work begins may qualify for a refund, less any non-refundable transaction or administrative costs disclosed to you;
  • Where work has begun, any refund may be reduced to reflect completed work and committed costs;
  • Completed, delivered, or substantially completed bespoke services may not qualify for a full refund;
  • Failure to provide information or respond to communications does not automatically create a right to a refund; and
  • A refund will not be provided solely because a particular grade, journal decision, ATS score, interview, job offer, or other third-party outcome was not achieved.

If we cancel a service without providing the agreed work, we will refund the amount paid for the unprovided portion of that service.

Nothing in these terms limits any cancellation, refund, or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.

15. Assignment, Essay, Dissertation, and Thesis Support

Academic support may include planning, explanation, research direction, structural guidance, editorial feedback, language improvement, referencing assistance, and other educational services defined in your quotation.

We do not guarantee:

  • A particular grade or classification;
  • Acceptance by a supervisor or institution;
  • Approval of a research proposal;
  • Successful completion of a degree;
  • A particular similarity or originality score; or
  • A particular result from an automated AI-detection system.

You are responsible for reviewing the material, verifying its accuracy, developing your own understanding, and using it in accordance with institutional rules.

16. Research and Data-Analysis Support

You confirm that any data supplied to us has been collected and shared lawfully and that you have the necessary permissions, consent, or authority to use it.

You remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness, ethical status, and lawful use of your data.

We will not knowingly fabricate, falsify, manipulate, or misrepresent research data or results. Analytical support does not guarantee that findings will support a preferred hypothesis or produce a statistically significant result.

17. Publication Support

Publication support may include journal assessment, manuscript editing, formatting, title and abstract refinement, cover-letter preparation, submission-readiness review, and response-to-reviewer assistance.

Journal selection recommendations are based on the information available at the time and do not constitute an endorsement or guarantee.

Editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, indexing status, publication charges, acceptance, rejection, and publication timelines are controlled by journals and publishers. We do not guarantee journal acceptance, indexing, publication, citations, or impact.

Unless expressly included in your quotation, journal submission fees, article-processing charges, open-access fees, translation costs, and other third-party charges are your responsibility.

You should independently confirm a journal’s identity, reputation, scope, fees, and submission requirements before making a payment or submitting a manuscript.

18. ATS CV and Career-Support Services

ATS CV, résumé, cover-letter, and professional-profile services are designed to improve structure, clarity, relevance, and keyword alignment.

We do not guarantee:

  • A specific ATS score or ranking;
  • Shortlisting;
  • An interview;
  • Employment;
  • Promotion;
  • Salary improvement; or
  • A response from a recruiter or employer.

You must ensure that all qualifications, experience, achievements, and personal details included in your career documents are accurate and not misleading.

19. Presentation-Design Services

Presentation-design services may include slide structure, visual formatting, information hierarchy, diagrams, speaker-note support, and the refinement of client-supplied content.

You remain responsible for verifying the accuracy of the content and obtaining permission to use any supplied text, data, branding, photographs, or other materials.

We do not guarantee a particular grade, audience response, assessment result, investment decision, or commercial outcome.

20. Client Materials

You retain ownership of the original documents, data, instructions, and other materials you provide to us.

By supplying material, you grant us a limited permission to access, reproduce, edit, and share it with authorised personnel or specialists only as reasonably necessary to provide the agreed service.

You confirm that:

  • You own the material or have permission to provide it;
  • Its use will not infringe another person’s rights;
  • It does not contain unlawful or malicious content; and
  • Its disclosure to us does not breach a legal, contractual, professional, or confidentiality obligation.

21. Intellectual Property

The website, branding, service descriptions, graphics, layouts, original articles, and other website content belonging to The Academic Consultancy may not be copied, republished, resold, or commercially exploited without written permission.

Rights relating to a client-specific deliverable will be governed by the quotation or order agreement. Unless otherwise stated, any agreed rights or licence to use the final deliverable take effect only after full payment has been received.

Third-party materials, software, templates, fonts, research sources, trademarks, and licensed assets remain subject to their respective owners’ rights and licence terms.

22. Confidentiality and Privacy

We handle client information and project materials with reasonable care and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Information may be shared with authorised specialists, editors, service providers, or contractors where reasonably necessary to provide, review, administer, or deliver the service. Such access will be limited to the relevant purpose.

No internet-based communication or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information and should protect your own accounts, devices, passwords, and downloaded files.

23. Third-Party Services

Our services may depend on third-party providers, including payment processors, website hosts, cloud-storage providers, email services, WhatsApp, analytics services, plagiarism-checking tools, journals, publishers, and software platforms.

Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their independent decisions, availability, fees, security practices, policies, or technical failures, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and do not necessarily represent an endorsement.

24. Prohibited Conduct

You must not:

  • Use our services for illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive purposes;
  • Request fabricated references, results, qualifications, or data;
  • Misrepresent another person’s identity or work;
  • Upload malware or attempt unauthorised access;
  • Infringe intellectual-property, privacy, or confidentiality rights;
  • Harass or threaten our team or specialists;
  • Resell deliverables without permission;
  • Interfere with the website or its security;
  • Use automated systems to extract website content without authorisation; or
  • Attempt to avoid or misuse an agreed payment obligation.

25. Communications and Electronic Records

You agree that quotations, invoices, notices, approvals, revisions, and other communications may be sent electronically.

Email, WhatsApp, website forms, and other agreed electronic communications may be used as records of instructions and approvals.

You are responsible for monitoring the contact details supplied to us and notifying us if they change.

26. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to a service where:

  • Payment remains overdue;
  • Required information is not provided;
  • The client materially breaches these terms;
  • The service is being used for misconduct or unlawful activity;
  • Communications become abusive or threatening; or
  • Continuing the project would create a legal, ethical, security, or professional risk.

Where practical, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to resolve the issue. Fees and refunds will be handled according to the work completed, costs incurred, these terms, and applicable law.

27. Website Availability and Accuracy

We aim to keep the website accurate and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every page will always be free from errors.

We may update, suspend, withdraw, or modify website content and services when reasonably necessary.

Website content is provided for general information and does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or institutional advice.

28. Service Disclaimers

We provide services using reasonable care and skill and according to the confirmed scope.

However, outcomes may be influenced by institutions, supervisors, examiners, recruiters, employers, journals, publishers, reviewers, software providers, and other third parties outside our control.

We do not guarantee:

  • Grades, qualifications, or academic approval;
  • Journal acceptance or publication;
  • Employment or interviews;
  • A specific ATS result;
  • A particular originality, plagiarism, or AI-detection score;
  • Uninterrupted third-party services; or
  • Outcomes that were not expressly included in the agreed service.

Automated plagiarism and AI-detection tools may produce inconsistent or inaccurate results and should not be treated as definitive assessments.

29. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability protected by mandatory law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

  • We will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss;
  • We will not be responsible for lost grades, academic penalties, lost publication opportunities, lost employment opportunities, loss of profits, or reputational loss caused by decisions made by third parties;
  • We will not be responsible for loss resulting from inaccurate instructions, unlawful materials, client modifications, or use outside the agreed purpose; and
  • Our total liability relating to a claim will not exceed the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to that claim.

This section does not reduce any mandatory consumer rights available to you.

30. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses or claims arising directly from material you unlawfully supply, your infringement of another person’s rights, or your prohibited use of our services.

This provision will not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by our own breach, negligence, or unlawful conduct.

31. Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Neither party will be responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, widespread internet or power failures, government restrictions, civil disruption, serious illness, cyber incidents, or failures of essential third-party services.

The affected party should notify the other party where reasonably possible, and both parties should cooperate to establish a practical revised arrangement.

32. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If you are dissatisfied with a service, please contact us promptly and provide:

  • Your name;
  • Your order or invoice reference;
  • A clear explanation of the issue; and
  • The outcome you are requesting.

We will review the matter and attempt to resolve it in good faith.

Before beginning formal proceedings, both parties should attempt to resolve the dispute through direct communication or another mutually agreed dispute-resolution method, unless urgent legal action is necessary.

33. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of [insert country/province or territory].

Subject to any mandatory consumer rights or jurisdictional rules, the courts of [insert city and country] will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to these terms or our services.

34. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms and Conditions to reflect changes in our services, business practices, technology, or legal obligations.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law requires otherwise.

The terms accepted when an order was confirmed will generally continue to govern that order unless both parties agree to a change or a legal requirement applies.

35. General Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, the accepted quotation, the Privacy Policy, the Refund and Revision Policy, and any expressly incorporated service terms form the agreement between you and The Academic Consultancy.

If there is a conflict, the specific written terms in an accepted quotation will take priority for that project, followed by these Terms and Conditions.

Severability

If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

No Waiver

A delay in enforcing a right does not mean that the right has been waived.

Assignment

You may not transfer your order or contractual rights to another person without our written permission. We may transfer our rights or obligations as part of a lawful business restructuring, provided that this does not reduce your mandatory rights.

Headings

Section headings are provided for convenience and do not affect the interpretation of these terms.
