Terms and Conditions:
I have read all terms here and on price page offered by Brigette's Technology Consulting and Research Firm (known as "Firm). I am agreeing to pay for the above service(s), which does not include "composing" the document or finding peer-reviewed articles.
I am including a copy of the service page where prices are listed with this invoice.
I understand the service will begin after full payment is received by means indicated above and initial editing contract is received by U.S. mail or future editing contracts are received by means indicated by the Firm.
I understand the Firm will not accept any other types of personal checks or payments other than means indicated above.
I understand that communication is mostly conducted through e-mail.
I understand that I am to be available to answer questions (via: answer emails, instant messaging (IM), or telephone ONLY) with the Coach (Editor) immediately upon the Coach receiving my document and payment. Here, I agree and honor the condition that the mail box rule will not apply here for clients sending responses to the Firm requested by the Firm. If responses are not acknowledged via receipt, which involves incorporating the responses into the client's document, it will be deemed the Firm did not receive the response(s). Thus, it is imperative that the client review any preliminary submissions (drafts) sent by the Firm prior to the expiration of the contract hours so the client can see the progress of the project and what has been incorporated into the document. For responses that do not apply to research, the response will be returned to the client via email indicating that that response is not relevant to the research and thus should be resent with appropriate information.
I understand, the Firm may send a preliminary document to the client before the contract hours has expired for reviewing only so the client to see how the project is developing. This preliminary copy will show where some of the client's responses have been incorporated throughout the document, which is subject to change, or how the document editing processes is progressing. It is at the discretion of the Firm if and when a preliminary document is sent. Usually, the time spent on the contract and the time remaining on the contract are indicated. Thus, it is imperative that the client review any preliminary submissions (drafts) sent by the Firm prior to the expiration of the contract hours so the client can see the progress of the project.
I understand the final revised document will be delivered via email when the editing service hours have expired. The Firm will charge a $30.00 fee for "each" final review document that has to be resent to the client. Resending documents take time away from the Firm and time that can be spent on working with the current clients, whose contract has not expired. If the Firm does not receive a return email error, then the sent (dispatched) document is deemed received by the client as in accordance with the contract mailbox law.
I understand that my document may need additional contract hours at cost to complete the editing process, and the Firm will not exceed the hours contracted without additional payment.
I understand that the Firm does not and will not consult with the client's mentor or chair, but may contact a university representative for clarifications on guidelines.
I understand this contract is between myself and the Firm and not with the University or the University's staff (i.e., mentor, chair, or committee members). Only in the case whereby checks deposited in either of the accounts listed above are returned (bounced), the Firm may notify the School to "not" accept the Firm's work, which is a part of this client's work, until paid for in full.
I understand there are no refunds and no guarantees (e.g., that services will meet professor, instructor, mentor, chair, committee members, QRM/QRF/ARB/OAR/IRB, or Dean's approval).
I understand there will be no personal visits (e.g., in home or in restaurants) by the/this client (i.e., the learner) with the representative of the Firm.
After the expiration of contract hours, conversations (phone or email) about the client's project will also result in additional payment before advice is rendered.
I understand that I am not to forward any tip(s), information, or emails to others.
I understand the Firm will not be held liable for any form of plagiarism or approvals for published materials in the document.
Violation of terms at any time may or will result in cancellation or non-renewal of contract (additional reads or reviews) with the Firm (parent company) and the Firms' subsidiaries, and no payment will not be refunded.
Here, I further understand that this is a legal binding service contract and not a contract for the sale of goods or tangible products. I further understand any legal disputes associated with this contract has to be mitigated in the State of Georgia (Newnan).
