5. Activation of Account

For Us to consider the application, a Writer must pass the registration process fulfilling all steps, and confirm email address. After that, depending on the profile quality, Applicants are given sample essay assignment, language proficiency test, and sometimes phone interview call. Some applications may also require ID confirmation and/or education verification. An application is then reviewed and assessed by HR manager within 30 days after the last test has been passed. Depending on the outcome an application is either rejected or approved.

All accepted applications must first pass the Mentoring Period. However, in certain cases, when profile quality is high enough, Mentoring Period can be voided.

The Company reserves the right not to disclose the information and reason of application being rejected. However, the email used to apply cannot be able to reapply again if test is not passed or account is not approved.

7. Disputes and Fines

Customer has a right to initiate Dispute within 14 business days after the deadline has run out.

  • All the disputes are investigated by a Dispute Manager, who is in touch with both parties.
  • Dispute Manager provides Writer with detailed reasons for the Dispute and approximate deadline for the resolution.
  • Dispute Manager provides supporting information for the claim from the Customer.

If the writer does not agree and the consensus cannot be reached, the paper is sent to an independent professional editor for evaluation. Editor's feedback will serve as a major ground for making a final decision. If the Customer's claim is justified, fines can be applied to Writer, depending on the Dispute's nature.

The Company may hold 100% of Writer's Order Payment for the time of Investigation, which can take up to 75 days to clear. (Note: 75 days is a default deadline of banks in conducting payment investigations, thus it is not our prerogative.)

The Writer must fully cooperate with the Dispute Manager on resolving the case and provide all the necessary information in a timely manner. Writer has a right to send a negotiation request to the Customer and/or Support suggesting his/her vision of the problem and desired outcome to be considered. The Company reserves a right to cancel the payment for a Disputed order. In such case, cancelled and deducted payment is not considered a Fine. If the order payment has been cancelled, the writer can use authorship of the Product.

To get detailed information about Fines, please, refer to https://www.aptwriter.com/privacy-policy. The Writer is solely responsible for providing accurate payment information within account. We do not verify the information provided and cannot be held responsible for missed payments, which occurred as a result of invalid payment details.

Order Payment is made after we receive completed Product and Customer approves it. Product must comply with all of the requirements from section 4 of these Terms.

All payments are made on per-project basis. The deadlines for submitting withdrawal requests to be processed are 1st to 3rd and 15th to 18th days of every month.
