Clients acknowledge and agree to our refunds policy which clearly states that all editorial and consulting services are performed to the best of my abilities, begin immediately upon ordering, and are rendered on their behalf in good faith. Cancellation of editing services must be submitted in writing via email. Phone calls will not be acknowledged as a formal cancellation. Services already performed at the time of cancellation will be delivered along with the remainder of the payment for the services not fulfilled due to cancellation. No returns, service credits, or refunds will be issued for editing services ordered and completed. All fulfilled services are delivered via email. Kristin McTiernan Publications LLC is not responsible for any inaccessibility, including but not limited to lost passwords, email submission errors, and/or failed transmissions.

7. REQUESTS FOR RE-EDITING
Clients agree to resolve any questions, concerns, or disputes regarding the quality of their completed editorial services by formally submitting a written request for a re-edit. This request for a re-edit must specifically outline all questions, concerns, and/or possible editorial errors or omissions so that Kristin McTiernan Publications LLC may clearly address, respond, and/or correct the areas of concern on the client’s behalf as quickly and professionally as possible. Client’s request for a review and re-edit applies only to their original text. The original text will be edited according to the client’s original written instructions. Corrections consist of any grammar, spelling, punctuation, editorial changes, or possible mistakes within the final edited work returned to the client. Thus, it does not include any additional revisions, re-editing, changes, additions, or alterations made by the author/client after delivery of services. (That would create a new document and require a new editing project to be ordered.)
