OakWrites Customer Policy

Refund Policy

This Refund Policy explains how OakWrites reviews cancellation, revision, quality, deadline, duplicate payment, plagiarism, and refund requests. Our goal is to provide a fair, transparent, and consistent process while recognizing the time, research, and professional effort invested in each assignment.

Effective Date: July 2026 Last Updated: July 2026 Applies to all OakWrites orders
Our Refund Promise

Every request deserves a fair review.

At OakWrites, we carefully evaluate refund requests based on the agreed instructions, work completed, communication history, delivery status, and the circumstances surrounding the request. We aim to resolve concerns professionally through support, revision, or rewriting before issuing a refund where appropriate.

Please read this Policy before placing an order. By submitting payment or authorizing OakWrites to begin an assignment, you acknowledge that refunds are governed by the rules and review process described below.

01

Introduction

OakWrites provides academic support, research assistance, editing, proofreading, formatting, tutoring, presentation preparation, and original model or reference materials. Each assignment may require research, planning, communication, writing, editing, technical preparation, and quality review.

Because our services involve personalized professional work rather than ordinary physical products, refund decisions depend on the stage of the assignment, the work already completed, the accuracy of the instructions provided, the nature of the concern, and whether the problem can reasonably be corrected through a revision or rewrite.

This Policy is designed to balance customer protection with fair compensation for work already performed. A refund is not automatically available simply because a customer changes their mind, no longer needs the assignment, receives an unexpected grade, or decides not to use completed work.

Important

OakWrites normally attempts to resolve concerns through review, communication, revision, or rewriting before approving a refund.

No guaranteed academic outcome

OakWrites does not guarantee a particular grade, score, academic result, admission decision, publication outcome, employment outcome, or instructor response. Academic results may depend on the customer’s use of the material, institutional rules, grading standards, participation, course expectations, and other factors outside our control.

Ethical customer use

Customers are responsible for using OakWrites materials lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with the rules of their institution, employer, publisher, or other relevant organization. Refunds will not ordinarily be issued because a customer used the material in a prohibited way or failed to comply with applicable rules.

02

Scope of This Policy

This Refund Policy applies to payments made for services ordered directly through OakWrites, including orders submitted through the website, customer portal, order form, email, or another communication channel officially approved by OakWrites.

Writing and research support

Original model papers, research assistance, discussion support, case studies, reports, and similar customized materials.

Editing and proofreading

Grammar correction, clarity improvement, structural editing, proofreading, and language refinement.

Formatting services

Citation formatting, reference preparation, document layout, template completion, and style compliance.

Presentation services

Slide content, presentation preparation, speaker notes, visual organization, and related support.

Orders covered by this Policy

This Policy applies whether an assignment is delivered as a document, presentation, spreadsheet, written response, edited file, portal attachment, email attachment, or another agreed digital format.

Third party payment processing

Payments and refunds may be processed through third party payment providers. Their processing rules, verification requirements, banking timelines, currency conversion practices, and transaction limitations may affect when funds become visible in the customer’s account.

OakWrites does not control delays caused by banks, card issuers, payment networks, currency processors, or other independent financial institutions after an approved refund has been issued.

Other policies

This Refund Policy should be read together with the OakWrites Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Where another policy addresses a related matter, the documents should be interpreted together.

Scope limitation

This Policy does not create a right to a refund where a customer has violated the Terms and Conditions, engaged in fraud, misused the service, or submitted an unlawful request.

03

Definitions

The following definitions help explain how this Refund Policy is applied.

Assignment
The specific service, document, presentation, editing request, research support task, or other customized work ordered by the customer.
Customer
The person who submits, authorizes, pays for, or communicates regarding an OakWrites order.
Original instructions
The requirements, rubric, files, deadline, topic, word count, formatting style, and other directions supplied before work begins.
Additional instructions
New requirements, expanded scope, changed topic, new sources, increased length, altered deadline, or other changes introduced after work has started.
Work has started
Research, planning, outlining, writing, editing, formatting, source review, design, file preparation, or another substantive task has begun.
Completed order
An assignment that OakWrites has delivered or made available through the agreed delivery method.
Revision
A correction or adjustment intended to bring the delivered work into alignment with the original instructions.
Rewrite
A substantial replacement of part or all of the work to correct a confirmed material problem.
Refund
The approved return of all or part of the amount actually paid for the applicable order.
Business day
A weekday excluding recognized public holidays and days when normal business or banking operations are unavailable.

Meaning of “case by case”

A case by case review means that OakWrites considers the specific facts of the order rather than applying an automatic percentage. Relevant facts may include the amount of work completed, the time invested, the deadline, the files provided, communication history, the reason for cancellation, and whether any completed material has already been delivered.

Amount actually paid

Any approved refund is calculated using the amount actually paid by the customer after discounts, coupons, promotions, credits, or other price adjustments. Refunds are not based on the original listed price where the customer paid a lower amount.

04

Refund Eligibility

Refund requests must ordinarily be submitted within seven calendar days after the assignment is delivered. Requests received after this period may be denied unless OakWrites determines that exceptional circumstances justify further review.

Eligibility does not guarantee approval. OakWrites must first review the order instructions, payment record, work completed, messages, delivery history, revision opportunities, and supporting evidence.

Situations that may qualify

  • The customer paid for an order, but OakWrites confirmed that substantive work had not yet begun.
  • OakWrites is unable to complete the assignment and cannot provide a suitable alternative.
  • A confirmed quality problem materially violates the original instructions and cannot reasonably be corrected through revision or rewriting.
  • Verified plagiarism is found in the delivered work and the customer chooses a refund rather than a complete rewrite.
  • The customer made a duplicate payment for the same order.
  • OakWrites made a clear billing or order processing error.
  • Other exceptional circumstances justify a refund after internal review.

Work not yet started

A customer may qualify for a full refund where OakWrites confirms that no research, planning, writing, editing, formatting, source review, design, or other substantive work has begun.

A cancellation request sent shortly after payment does not automatically establish that work had not begun. Rush orders and short deadline assignments may enter production immediately after payment and receipt of complete instructions.

Work already started

Where work has started, cancellation and refund requests are reviewed case by case. OakWrites may approve a partial refund, decline the request, or offer another resolution based on the amount of work completed and the circumstances of the order.

Completed assignments

A refund for completed work is generally considered only where a material issue is verified and cannot reasonably be resolved through revision, correction, or rewriting. Customers are expected to allow OakWrites a fair opportunity to review and address the concern.

Evidence supporting a request

Customers may be asked to provide relevant evidence, such as instructor feedback, highlighted instructions, originality results, screenshots, file comparisons, or a clear explanation of the specific problem.

Revision before refund

Except for duplicate payments, work that has not started, or another clear basis for immediate refund, OakWrites may require the customer to accept a reasonable revision or rewrite opportunity before a refund is considered.

Refund decision overview

Situation Typical outcome
Work has not started Full refund, subject to verification
Customer cancels after work begins Case by case review
Verified plagiarism Complete rewrite or full refund
Verified undisclosed AI generated content Complete human rewrite
Missed deadline Partial refund based on delay and impact
Duplicate payment Full refund of the duplicate amount
Customer changes instructions New order or additional charge; no automatic refund
Customer changes their mind Normally not refundable
This table is a general guide.

The final outcome may differ where the facts of an order, applicable law, payment restrictions, fraud concerns, or other circumstances require a different result.

05

Situations Not Eligible for Refunds

OakWrites may decline a refund where the service was provided in accordance with the original instructions, where the concern can reasonably be corrected through revision, or where the issue resulted from the customer’s actions, omissions, changed circumstances, or misuse of the service.

The following situations are generally not eligible for a refund unless exceptional circumstances apply or applicable law requires otherwise.

Change of mind

A refund will not ordinarily be issued because a customer changes their mind after placing an order, decides not to use the work, finds another service provider, or no longer wishes to continue after OakWrites has begun substantive work.

Assignment no longer needed

A customer’s personal circumstances may change after an order is placed. However, an assignment becoming unnecessary does not automatically cancel the time, research, planning, writing, editing, or design work already completed by OakWrites.

Examples include:

  • The instructor cancels or changes the assignment.
  • The customer drops the course or misses the submission deadline.
  • The customer completes the work independently after placing the order.
  • The customer receives assistance from another source.
  • The customer decides not to submit or use the completed material.

Incorrect or incomplete instructions

Refunds may be denied where the customer supplied inaccurate, incomplete, conflicting, unclear, or outdated instructions and OakWrites reasonably followed the information available at the time.

Customers are responsible for providing all relevant materials before work begins, including:

  • The assignment prompt and grading rubric.
  • Required readings, sources, templates, or course materials.
  • The correct word count, page count, and formatting style.
  • The correct academic level and subject area.
  • Accurate deadline and time zone information.
  • Instructor comments from earlier submissions where relevant.

New or changed instructions

Instructions introduced after work begins are not considered part of the original scope unless OakWrites expressly agrees to include them. Changes may require an additional payment, extended deadline, or new order.

Examples of additional instructions include:

  • Changing the topic, argument, case, patient, company, or research question.
  • Increasing the word count, page count, number of slides, or number of sources.
  • Requesting a different citation style after formatting is complete.
  • Adding a new rubric, template, textbook, article, or instructor requirement.
  • Requesting a shorter deadline than originally agreed.
  • Converting one type of assignment into another.

Refusal to allow revision

Where OakWrites offers a reasonable revision or correction that could address the customer’s concern, a refund may be denied if the customer refuses to allow the revision, does not provide necessary feedback, or demands an immediate refund without giving OakWrites a fair opportunity to investigate and correct the issue.

Customer delay or lack of response

Refunds may be denied where delivery, completion, or correction was affected by the customer’s failure to respond, delayed provision of files, failure to clarify instructions, or failure to approve necessary order details.

This may include situations where:

  • OakWrites requested clarification but received no response.
  • Required files or course materials were provided late.
  • The customer did not review a draft or answer urgent questions.
  • The customer changed contact details without updating OakWrites.
  • Messages were sent to the customer’s registered contact method but were not reviewed.

Late submission by the customer

OakWrites is not responsible where an assignment was delivered on time, but the customer failed to download, review, submit, open, or forward the material before their personal or institutional deadline.

Grade dissatisfaction

A low grade, unexpected score, instructor disagreement, failed course, rejection, or other academic result does not by itself establish that OakWrites failed to provide the agreed service.

Refunds will not ordinarily be issued solely because:

  • The instructor expected something not stated in the original instructions.
  • The customer altered the work before submission.
  • The customer used the material contrary to institutional rules.
  • The customer did not complete other course requirements.
  • The customer expected a guaranteed grade or outcome.

Software and detector results

A result from an automated plagiarism, grammar, similarity, authorship, or artificial intelligence detection tool does not automatically prove that the delivered work is defective.

OakWrites may review the report, the highlighted passages, the source material, the settings used, and the overall context before deciding whether a revision, rewrite, or refund is appropriate.

Minor formatting or technical issues

Minor errors that can reasonably be corrected, such as spacing, headings, page numbers, citation punctuation, file conversion, or other technical formatting concerns, normally qualify for correction rather than a refund.

Use of delivered work

A refund may be declined where the customer has already used, submitted, published, distributed, resold, or otherwise benefited from the delivered work, particularly where the customer also seeks to retain the completed material.

Retaining and using refunded work

Where a full refund is approved for a confirmed quality failure, OakWrites may require the customer to stop using, distributing, or presenting the refunded material as their own authorized copy.

Promotional offers and discounts

Coupons, promotional discounts, complimentary additions, and special offers have no separate cash value. Any eligible refund is based on the amount actually paid for the affected order.

Unlawful or prohibited requests

Refunds may be denied where OakWrites cancels or restricts an order because the customer requested illegal, fraudulent, abusive, harmful, deceptive, or otherwise prohibited assistance.

Review of exceptional circumstances

OakWrites may consider unusual circumstances individually, but a discretionary exception does not create an obligation to make the same exception in another case.

06

Order Cancellation

Customers should submit cancellation requests as soon as possible. Because many assignments begin shortly after payment and receipt of complete instructions, the amount available for refund may decrease as work progresses.

Cancellation before work begins

Where OakWrites confirms that substantive work has not started, the customer will ordinarily qualify for a full refund of the amount actually paid.

Substantive work may include:

  • Reviewing the assignment instructions or rubric.
  • Conducting research or locating sources.
  • Creating an outline, plan, draft, or structure.
  • Writing, editing, proofreading, or formatting.
  • Designing slides, tables, charts, or other materials.
  • Preparing files or assigning professional resources to the order.

The fact that a draft has not yet been delivered does not necessarily mean work has not started.

Cancellation after work begins

Where work has started, the cancellation request will be reviewed case by case. OakWrites may approve a partial refund, deny the refund, offer store credit where mutually agreed, or provide the completed portion of the work.

The review may consider:

%

Work completed

The proportion of research, planning, drafting, editing, formatting, or design already performed.

Time invested

The professional time and resources already committed to the assignment.

!

Reason for cancellation

Whether the cancellation resulted from OakWrites, the customer, changed circumstances, or incomplete instructions.

Deadline pressure

Whether the order was urgent and required immediate allocation of time or resources.

Rush and urgent assignments

Rush, same day, overnight, and other short deadline assignments may begin immediately after payment. As a result, the opportunity to cancel before work starts may be very limited.

For urgent orders, a cancellation request submitted shortly after payment may still be treated as a cancellation after work has started if research, preparation, or drafting has already begun.

Cancellation due to missing information

If OakWrites cannot continue because the customer has not provided essential information, we may place the order on hold, extend the deadline, complete only the portion that can reasonably be completed, or cancel the order.

A refund is not guaranteed where the interruption resulted from the customer’s failure to provide required instructions or materials.

Cancellation by OakWrites

OakWrites may cancel an order where:

  • The request is unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or prohibited.
  • The customer behaves abusively or threatens staff or service providers.
  • Payment cannot be verified or appears unauthorized.
  • The instructions are materially misleading or impossible to complete.
  • Necessary files, clarification, or access are not provided.
  • Technical, staffing, safety, or operational circumstances make completion impracticable.

Where OakWrites cancels an order for reasons not caused by customer misconduct or incomplete cooperation, we will review the unused portion of the payment and determine whether a full or partial refund is appropriate.

Where cancellation results from fraud, abuse, unlawful conduct, or a serious violation of the Terms and Conditions, OakWrites may deny the refund to the extent permitted by law.

Cancellation communication

A cancellation request is not effective merely because the customer stops responding, removes files, closes their account, or disputes the payment. The customer must contact OakWrites through an approved support channel and clearly request cancellation.

Do not assume an order is cancelled

Unless OakWrites confirms cancellation in writing, the assignment may continue according to the original order details.

07

Revision Policy

OakWrites offers revisions to correct eligible concerns and bring delivered work into alignment with the original instructions. Revisions are the primary remedy for issues that can reasonably be corrected.

Revision request period

Revision requests should ordinarily be submitted within seven calendar days after delivery. Requests made after this period may be treated as a new paid order unless OakWrites agrees otherwise.

Unlimited revisions within the original scope

OakWrites may provide multiple revisions without an additional service fee where:

  • The request is submitted within the seven day revision period.
  • The requested changes relate directly to the original instructions.
  • The customer clearly identifies the specific issue to be corrected.
  • The customer has not substantially changed the assignment scope.
  • The revision request is reasonable and made in good faith.

“Unlimited revisions” does not mean unlimited new work. It means reasonable correction opportunities within the original order scope.

What qualifies as an eligible revision

Eligible revisions may include:

  • Correcting material that does not follow the original rubric.
  • Fixing factual, grammatical, structural, or formatting errors.
  • Adding an originally required element that was unintentionally omitted.
  • Clarifying wording or improving organization.
  • Correcting citations or references included in the original scope.
  • Responding to relevant instructor feedback that confirms a failure to follow the original instructions.

What does not qualify as a free revision

The following are normally treated as additional work:

  • Changing the topic, position, thesis, case, or research question.
  • Adding new questions, prompts, sections, slides, pages, or sources.
  • Increasing the required word count or depth.
  • Replacing the original rubric or template with a new one.
  • Changing the citation or formatting style after completion.
  • Rewriting based on personal preference where the original instructions were followed.
  • Revising material altered by the customer or another person.
  • Incorporating instructor requirements that were not originally disclosed.

How to submit an effective revision request

To help OakWrites complete the revision efficiently, the customer should provide:

  1. The order number.
  2. A clear description of each requested correction.
  3. The relevant original instruction or rubric section.
  4. Supporting instructor feedback where applicable.
  5. A reasonable revision deadline.

Revision turnaround time

Revision time depends on the complexity of the request, the amount of work involved, the customer’s deadline, and whether additional clarification is required.

OakWrites will communicate an estimated completion time where practicable. A revision request does not automatically guarantee completion within an unreasonably short deadline.

Customer cooperation

Customers must provide clear, complete, and consistent revision instructions. Conflicting messages, repeated changes, or delayed responses may extend the revision timeline.

Revision as a condition before refund

Where a concern can reasonably be corrected, OakWrites may require the customer to allow one or more revision attempts before considering a refund.

A customer who refuses a reasonable correction opportunity may lose eligibility for a refund relating to that correctable issue.

Abusive revision requests

OakWrites may limit or refuse revision requests that are excessive, repetitive, contradictory, abusive, unrelated to the original scope, or intended to obtain additional work without payment.

Best way to avoid delays

Submit all revision points together in one clear message and refer directly to the original instructions, rubric, or instructor feedback.

08

Missed Deadlines

OakWrites aims to deliver assignments by the deadline confirmed for the order. The delivery period begins only after payment has been confirmed and all complete instructions, files, and necessary clarification have been received.

When the deadline begins

A quoted completion period does not begin merely when the customer opens the order form or sends an initial message. The deadline begins when:

  • Payment has been successfully confirmed.
  • The complete assignment prompt has been received.
  • Required files, rubrics, templates, and sources have been provided.
  • Any important uncertainties have been clarified.
  • OakWrites has accepted the order and confirmed the deadline.

Partial refund for a missed deadline

Where OakWrites misses the confirmed deadline, the customer may qualify for a partial refund. The amount will be determined case by case based on the length of the delay, the reason for the delay, whether the work remained useful, and the actual impact on the customer.

A missed deadline does not automatically result in a full refund, especially where the completed work was delivered and could still reasonably be used.

Factors considered

Length of delay

Whether delivery was delayed by minutes, hours, or a more substantial period.

Continued usefulness

Whether the customer could still use the assignment, presentation, revision, or edited material.

Customer contribution

Whether delayed instructions, late files, changed requirements, or lack of response affected completion.

!

Actual impact

Whether the delay prevented submission or caused a confirmed material disadvantage.

Delays caused by the customer

OakWrites is not responsible for a missed deadline caused or materially contributed to by:

  • Late delivery of the assignment instructions.
  • Missing, inaccessible, corrupted, or unreadable files.
  • Delayed responses to clarification questions.
  • Changes to the topic, scope, length, format, or source requirements.
  • Incorrect deadline or time zone information.
  • Payment verification delays.
  • Failure to review messages sent through the agreed communication channel.

In these situations, OakWrites may extend the deadline by a reasonable amount without creating refund eligibility.

Partial delivery

Where appropriate, OakWrites may provide a completed portion of the assignment before the full order is finished. Acceptance or use of a partial delivery may be considered when reviewing any later refund request.

Technical delivery issues

A file may be considered delivered when it is uploaded to the customer portal, sent to the registered email address, attached to the relevant order thread, or made available through another agreed method.

A refund may not be available where OakWrites delivered on time but the customer:

  • Did not check their email or portal.
  • Entered an incorrect email address.
  • Experienced a personal device or internet problem.
  • Failed to download or open the file promptly.
  • Allowed the message to remain in a spam or junk folder.

Unforeseen circumstances

Events outside OakWrites’ reasonable control may affect delivery, including severe internet outages, power failures, natural disasters, government actions, widespread service interruptions, serious system failures, or other exceptional events.

OakWrites will make reasonable efforts to communicate, restore service, provide an alternative delivery method, or agree on a revised deadline. Refund decisions in these circumstances will be made fairly and based on the work completed and the actual impact.

Urgent deadline notice

Customers should allow sufficient time to download, review, and submit their assignment. The OakWrites delivery deadline should not be set at the exact same moment as the customer’s final submission deadline.

09

Quality Concerns

OakWrites takes quality concerns seriously and reviews each complaint against the original instructions, rubric, files, agreed scope, and communication history.

A customer who believes delivered work does not meet the agreed requirements should contact OakWrites promptly and explain the specific concern. General statements such as “the quality is poor” may not be sufficient for review unless supported by details showing how the work differs from the original instructions.

How quality concerns are reviewed

OakWrites may review:

  • The original assignment prompt and grading rubric.
  • The files, sources, templates, and instructions supplied by the customer.
  • The delivered document or presentation.
  • Messages exchanged before and during completion.
  • Instructor feedback or other supporting evidence.
  • Whether the customer changed or edited the work after delivery.
  • Whether the issue can reasonably be corrected through revision.

Primary resolution process

Where a quality issue is confirmed, OakWrites will ordinarily follow this resolution order:

1

Internal review

OakWrites reviews the instructions, delivered material, customer explanation, and available supporting evidence.

2

Revision

Correctable issues are addressed through a free revision within the original assignment scope.

3

Rewrite

A substantial rewrite may be offered where ordinary revision is not sufficient to correct a confirmed material failure.

4

Refund review

A full or partial refund may be considered where the confirmed problem cannot reasonably be corrected.

What may constitute a material quality failure

A material quality failure may include:

  • Failure to address a substantial part of the original prompt.
  • Use of the wrong topic, case, patient, organization, or research question.
  • Serious factual inaccuracies that materially affect the assignment.
  • Failure to use an expressly required format, template, or citation style.
  • Omission of required sections that were clearly stated before work began.
  • Work that is materially below the academic or professional level specified in the original order.
  • Writing that is substantially unclear or unusable and cannot be reasonably corrected.

Minor issues

Minor concerns ordinarily qualify for correction rather than a refund. These may include:

  • Limited grammar or punctuation errors.
  • Small citation or reference formatting errors.
  • Minor wording or clarity concerns.
  • Page numbering, heading, spacing, or file formatting issues.
  • A small number of correctable omissions.

Instructor feedback

Instructor feedback may support a revision or refund review where it clearly shows that the delivered work failed to follow the original instructions.

However, instructor feedback does not automatically establish a service failure where:

  • The instructor introduced new requirements after delivery.
  • The feedback reflects personal preference rather than the original rubric.
  • The customer did not provide the relevant requirement before work began.
  • The customer materially altered the delivered work.
  • The grade was affected by other course requirements or customer performance.

Customer modifications

OakWrites may be unable to accept responsibility for errors introduced after delivery by the customer or another person. Customers should preserve the original delivered file when submitting a quality concern.

Personal preference

A customer’s preference for a different tone, wording, structure, or argument does not necessarily establish poor quality where the work followed the original instructions.

OakWrites may offer reasonable adjustments as a courtesy, but major changes based solely on personal preference may be treated as additional paid work.

Evidence required

Customers should identify:

  1. The exact section or page affected.
  2. The original instruction that was not followed.
  3. The correction requested.
  4. Any instructor feedback or supporting documentation.
A specific explanation leads to a faster resolution.

Clear references to the prompt, rubric, page, paragraph, slide, or citation help OakWrites investigate and correct concerns efficiently.

Refund eligibility for quality concerns

A refund may be considered where OakWrites confirms that the assignment materially failed to meet the original requirements and the problem cannot reasonably be corrected through revision or rewriting.

Where only part of the order is affected, OakWrites may approve a partial refund rather than a full refund.

Revision opportunity required

A customer who refuses a reasonable revision or rewrite may lose eligibility for a refund relating to a correctable quality issue.

10

AI Generated Content

OakWrites is committed to providing human written and professionally reviewed work. If a customer believes that delivered material contains significant undisclosed artificial intelligence generated content, the concern must be submitted for review within the applicable seven day request period.

Automated detector limitations

Artificial intelligence detection tools can produce inconsistent, inaccurate, or conflicting results. A score from a single detector does not automatically prove that work was generated by artificial intelligence.

OakWrites may consider:

  • The complete detector report rather than a screenshot of one score.
  • The passages identified by the detector.
  • Results from more than one recognized detection tool.
  • The writing process, drafts, notes, sources, and revision history.
  • Whether technical, academic, or formulaic language may have triggered the result.
  • Whether the customer edited or processed the work through another tool after delivery.

How to submit an AI related concern

The customer should provide:

  • The OakWrites order number.
  • The original delivered file.
  • The complete detector report where available.
  • The name of the tool used.
  • The date the scan was completed.
  • The specific passages identified.

Resolution for a verified concern

Where OakWrites verifies significant undisclosed AI generated content, the primary remedy will be a complete human rewrite of the affected material at no additional service charge.

The rewrite will be based on the original instructions and may require a reasonable completion period depending on the assignment length, complexity, and deadline.

No automatic refund

A detector score alone does not create an automatic right to a refund. Under this Policy, verified AI related concerns are ordinarily resolved through a complete human rewrite.

A refund may be considered only in exceptional circumstances, including where OakWrites is unable to provide the promised rewrite or where applicable law requires another remedy.

Customer use of AI tools

OakWrites is not responsible for detector results caused by customer modifications, paraphrasing tools, grammar tools, automated rewriting, translation software, or other third party processing applied after delivery.

Customers should retain the original file delivered by OakWrites so that it can be compared with any later version.

No absolute detector guarantee

OakWrites may use internal review tools and commonly available detection services as part of quality control. However, no business can guarantee that every external detector will return a particular score, because detectors use different methods and may change their systems without notice.

Detector results must be reviewed in context.

Conflicting or isolated detector scores will not be treated as conclusive proof without supporting evidence and an internal review.

Primary remedy

Where significant undisclosed AI generated content is verified, OakWrites will provide a complete human rewrite of the affected assignment.

11

Plagiarism

OakWrites aims to provide original work and appropriately acknowledge sources where citations are required. A customer who believes delivered material contains plagiarism should submit the concern within seven calendar days after delivery.

What OakWrites considers plagiarism

Plagiarism may include:

  • Copying substantial text from a source without appropriate quotation or citation.
  • Closely reproducing another author’s wording or structure without acknowledgement.
  • Using another person’s work as original OakWrites material.
  • Reusing substantial content from an unrelated prior assignment without disclosure.
  • Presenting source material in a way that materially conceals its origin.

What is not automatically plagiarism

Similarity does not always establish plagiarism. Similarity reports may identify:

  • Correctly quoted and cited text.
  • Reference list entries.
  • Common academic phrases.
  • Assignment questions or template wording.
  • Standard terminology, titles, laws, or definitions.
  • Customer supplied material included at the customer’s request.

Evidence required

A plagiarism complaint should include:

  • The order number.
  • The original delivered file.
  • A complete similarity or originality report where available.
  • The source or sources allegedly copied.
  • The specific passages in question.

Internal review

OakWrites may compare the delivered work with the alleged source, review quotation and citation practices, examine the similarity report, and determine whether the overlap is properly attributed, incidental, or materially improper.

Remedy for verified plagiarism

Where material plagiarism is verified, the customer may choose one of the following remedies:

Complete rewrite

OakWrites will replace the affected work with an original version based on the original instructions.

$

Full refund

The customer may request a full refund of the amount actually paid for the affected assignment.

Partial plagiarism concerns

Where only a limited section is affected and the overall assignment remains usable, OakWrites may offer correction or replacement of the affected section. However, if the plagiarism is material to the assignment as a whole, the customer may select a complete rewrite or full refund.

Customer supplied content

OakWrites is not responsible for plagiarism contained in text, notes, drafts, templates, or other content supplied by the customer and requested to be incorporated into the assignment.

OakWrites may assist with rewriting, citation, or correction, but this may be treated as additional work if the issue originates from customer supplied material.

Customer modifications

Refund eligibility may be affected where the customer or another person inserted copied material, removed citations, altered quotations, or otherwise changed the delivered file after OakWrites completed the assignment.

Use after refund

Where a full refund is issued for verified plagiarism, the customer should stop using, distributing, publishing, selling, or submitting the refunded material.

Similarity percentage alone is not conclusive.

OakWrites reviews the actual matching passages, source attribution, references, quotations, and context before determining whether plagiarism has occurred.

12

Duplicate Payments

A duplicate payment occurs when a customer is charged more than once for the same OakWrites order without intending to purchase an additional service.

Eligibility for a duplicate payment refund

Where OakWrites verifies that the same customer made an unintended duplicate payment for the same order, the duplicate amount will ordinarily be refunded in full.

Transactions that may appear duplicated

Before approving a refund, OakWrites may need to determine whether the transactions are true duplicate charges or separate legitimate payments. Similar transactions may relate to:

  • Two different orders placed at similar times.
  • Additional pages, slides, sources, or revisions.
  • An authorization hold and a completed payment.
  • A failed payment attempt later reversed by the payment provider.
  • Currency conversion or international transaction fees.
  • A partial payment followed by the remaining balance.

Information required

To report a duplicate payment, the customer should provide:

  • The OakWrites order number.
  • The email address used for payment.
  • The date and amount of each transaction.
  • Transaction references where available.
  • A bank or payment screenshot showing both charges, with unrelated sensitive information hidden.

Verification process

OakWrites may compare order records, transaction references, payment status, timestamps, and processor information before confirming that a duplicate payment occurred.

Customers should not send full card numbers, banking passwords, PINs, one time codes, or other unnecessary financial credentials.

Refund amount

A verified duplicate payment refund is limited to the duplicate amount actually received by OakWrites. Independent bank charges, currency conversion fees, or payment provider fees may be controlled by the relevant financial institution.

Refund destination

Duplicate payments will normally be returned to the original payment method. Where that method is unavailable, expired, closed, or otherwise unable to receive the refund, OakWrites may request additional verification before approving another lawful refund method.

Processing period

Once verified and approved, OakWrites will ordinarily issue the duplicate payment refund within seven to ten business days.

The customer’s bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional time before the funds appear in the account.

Authorization holds

Some banks temporarily display a payment authorization and the final completed transaction at the same time. An authorization hold is not necessarily a second completed charge and may disappear automatically.

OakWrites may ask the customer to wait for the payment status to settle or confirm the charge with their bank before a duplicate refund is issued.

Repeated duplicate claims

OakWrites may investigate repeated or suspicious duplicate payment claims and may require additional verification to protect customers and prevent fraud.

Report duplicate payments promptly.

Contact support@oakwrites.com with the order number and transaction details so the payment can be reviewed.

Protect your financial information.

Do not email full card numbers, banking passwords, PINs, or one time security codes. Only provide the minimum information needed to identify the transactions.

Chargebacks and Fraud

OakWrites encourages customers to contact support before initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, or bank dispute. Many concerns can be resolved more quickly through direct review, revision, correction, cancellation assessment, or an approved refund.

A chargeback is not a substitute for following the refund process in this Policy. Filing a payment dispute after receiving, using, retaining, or benefiting from completed work may be treated as a serious account and payment issue.

Contact OakWrites first

Before contacting a bank, card issuer, or payment provider, customers should email support@oakwrites.com and provide the order number, payment details, and a clear explanation of the concern.

OakWrites will make reasonable efforts to review the matter promptly and explain the available resolution options.

Improper or abusive chargebacks

OakWrites may dispute a chargeback where available records show that:

  • The customer authorized the payment.
  • The ordered service was provided or substantially completed.
  • The assignment was delivered through the agreed method.
  • The customer downloaded, opened, used, submitted, distributed, or otherwise benefited from the work.
  • OakWrites offered a reasonable revision, correction, rewrite, or support process.
  • The customer did not first submit a genuine refund request through OakWrites.
  • The dispute contains false, incomplete, or misleading information.

Evidence OakWrites may provide

When responding to a chargeback, OakWrites may provide relevant information to the payment provider, bank, card network, legal adviser, or other authorized party handling the dispute.

This information may include:

  • The order form and customer supplied instructions.
  • Payment confirmation and transaction references.
  • Account, login, access, and delivery records.
  • Emails, portal messages, and order communications.
  • Drafts, completed work, revision history, and file timestamps.
  • Evidence that the customer downloaded or accessed the delivered material.
  • Records of support, revision, or refund opportunities offered.

OakWrites will limit disclosure to information reasonably relevant to investigating and responding to the payment dispute.

Account restrictions during a dispute

OakWrites may temporarily suspend or restrict an account while a chargeback, fraud investigation, payment reversal, or disputed balance remains unresolved.

Restrictions may include:

Order suspension

Active assignments may be paused until the payment issue is resolved.

🔒

Account restriction

Access to new orders, files, messages, or selected account functions may be limited.

Revision hold

Pending revisions or additional work may be paused while the original payment remains disputed.

Future order review

Future orders may require additional payment verification or may be declined.

Fraud prevention

OakWrites may review orders and refund requests for signs of payment fraud, unauthorized use, identity misuse, account takeover, duplicate claims, fabricated complaints, resale activity, or other suspicious conduct.

Fraud indicators may include:

  • Use of a payment method without the account holder’s authorization.
  • Conflicting names, contact details, billing information, or account activity.
  • Multiple accounts used to obtain repeated refunds, discounts, or duplicate services.
  • Repeated claims that delivered files were not received despite access or download records.
  • Submission of altered screenshots, reports, receipts, or supporting evidence.
  • Attempts to retain and use completed work while reversing payment.
  • Reselling, redistributing, or commercially exploiting OakWrites material without authorization.

Verification requests

Where fraud is suspected, OakWrites may request reasonable information to verify the customer, transaction, account, or refund claim.

Verification may include:

  • Confirmation through the registered email address.
  • The order number and transaction reference.
  • Limited proof that the customer controls the payment method.
  • Confirmation of billing details.
  • A clear explanation of any inconsistent transaction information.

Customers should not send full card numbers, banking passwords, PINs, security codes, or unnecessary identity documents through ordinary email.

Refund refusal for fraud or abuse

OakWrites may refuse a refund where there is reasonable evidence of:

  • Payment fraud or use of a stolen payment method.
  • Identity theft or unauthorized account use.
  • False or misleading refund claims.
  • Repeated refund or revision abuse.
  • Deliberate chargeback misuse.
  • Resale or unauthorized distribution of delivered work.
  • Malicious, unlawful, threatening, or abusive activity.

Recovery of losses

Where permitted by applicable law, OakWrites may seek recovery of losses, fees, administrative costs, unpaid balances, or other expenses arising from fraudulent or abusive payment disputes.

OakWrites may also provide relevant information to payment providers, financial institutions, legal advisers, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities where reasonably necessary and legally permitted.

Account termination

OakWrites may terminate or permanently restrict accounts associated with fraud, repeated abusive chargebacks, threatening conduct, payment manipulation, unlawful activity, or serious violations of the Terms and Conditions.

Account termination does not cancel any outstanding payment obligation or prevent OakWrites from contesting an existing chargeback.

Legitimate unauthorized transactions

Customers who genuinely believe their payment method or account was used without permission should contact both OakWrites and their financial institution promptly.

OakWrites will review available records and cooperate with lawful payment investigations. A legitimate fraud report will not be treated as abusive merely because the customer contacted their bank.

Filing a chargeback may delay resolution.

Once a financial institution begins a formal dispute, OakWrites may be required to follow that provider’s process and may no longer be able to issue a direct refund until the dispute is closed.

Resolve concerns directly where possible.

Contact OakWrites first so we can review the order, explain the available remedies, and attempt to resolve the issue before a formal payment dispute becomes necessary.

14

Refund Request Process

Customers seeking a refund must submit a clear written request to OakWrites. A request is not automatically approved when it is submitted. OakWrites must first review the order, payment, delivery history, original instructions, work completed, communications, and supporting evidence.

Refund request deadline

Refund requests should ordinarily be submitted within seven calendar days after the completed assignment is delivered. Requests submitted after the seven day period may be denied unless OakWrites determines that exceptional circumstances justify an extended review.

Customers should report duplicate payments, unauthorized transactions, or other payment errors as soon as they become aware of them.

How to submit a request

Refund requests should be submitted through the customer’s order communication thread or by emailing support@oakwrites.com .

The subject line should include the order number and clearly identify the request. For example:

Suggested email subject

Refund Request: OakWrites Order #1234

Information to include

A complete refund request should include:

  • The customer’s full name.
  • The email address associated with the order.
  • The OakWrites order number.
  • The payment date and amount paid.
  • A clear explanation of the reason for the request.
  • The specific part of the assignment or service affected.
  • The original instruction that the customer believes was not followed.
  • The preferred resolution, such as revision, rewrite, partial refund, or full refund.
  • Supporting evidence where applicable.

Supporting evidence

Depending on the type of concern, OakWrites may request:

  • The original assignment instructions and grading rubric.
  • Instructor feedback.
  • Highlighted passages or screenshots identifying the issue.
  • The original file delivered by OakWrites.
  • A complete plagiarism, similarity, or AI detection report.
  • Transaction references or proof of duplicate payment.
  • Relevant communication records.
  • Other information reasonably needed to investigate the request.

Customers should hide unrelated sensitive financial information before sending bank statements, payment screenshots, or transaction records.

Initial acknowledgment

OakWrites will ordinarily acknowledge receipt of a complete refund request and may assign the matter for internal review.

An acknowledgment confirms only that the request has been received. It does not mean that the refund has been approved.

Internal review

During the internal review, OakWrites may examine:

1

Order requirements

The original prompt, rubric, files, sources, deadline, and agreed scope of the assignment.

2

Work and delivery

The work completed, delivery date, file access records, drafts, revisions, and completed material.

3

Communication history

Instructions, clarifications, customer responses, support messages, and resolution opportunities.

4

Supporting evidence

Instructor comments, reports, screenshots, transaction records, and other relevant documentation.

Requests for clarification

OakWrites may ask the customer to provide additional details or evidence before completing the review. The review period may be paused until the requested information is received.

Failure to respond within a reasonable period may result in the request being closed or decided using the information already available.

Resolution options

Following review, OakWrites may offer or approve one or more of the following resolutions:

  • A correction or revision.
  • A complete or partial rewrite.
  • Completion of an omitted part of the original assignment.
  • A revised delivery deadline.
  • A partial refund.
  • A full refund.
  • Store credit, but only where mutually agreed.
  • Denial of the request with an explanation.

Revision or rewrite before refund

Where the concern can reasonably be corrected, OakWrites may require the customer to allow a revision or rewrite before approving a refund.

A customer who refuses a reasonable correction opportunity may lose eligibility for a refund relating to that issue.

Partial refunds

OakWrites may issue a partial refund where only part of the assignment is affected, substantial work was correctly completed, or the customer received and retained meaningful value from the service.

The amount of a partial refund may reflect:

  • The portion of the assignment affected.
  • The proportion of work correctly completed.
  • The time and resources already invested.
  • The continued usefulness of the delivered work.
  • The degree to which OakWrites or the customer contributed to the issue.

Refund calculation

Refunds are calculated using the amount actually paid for the affected order after discounts, coupons, credits, promotions, or other price reductions.

Complimentary services, free additions, promotional benefits, and unused coupon value are not refundable as cash.

Dispute escalation

Where a customer disagrees with the initial outcome, they may request an internal escalation. OakWrites will ordinarily use the following review process:

  1. Customer support review.
  2. Internal order and evidence review.
  3. Management review where escalation is requested or considered necessary.
  4. Final decision communicated to the customer.

An escalation request should explain why the customer believes the original decision was incorrect and should include any new supporting evidence.

Final decision

OakWrites will communicate the final outcome through the customer’s registered email address, order thread, or another approved communication channel.

The decision may explain whether the request was approved, partially approved, denied, or resolved through another remedy.

False or abusive claims

OakWrites may refuse or close requests involving knowingly false information, altered evidence, threats, harassment, repeated refund abuse, or attempts to obtain free work through dishonest complaints.

Do not submit multiple requests for the same issue.

Sending repeated emails, opening multiple disputes, or contacting different support channels with conflicting information may delay the review.

Keep all communication in the order thread.

Using the same order number and communication thread helps OakWrites review the full history and respond more efficiently.

15

Refund Processing Times

OakWrites aims to review and process refund requests fairly and without unnecessary delay. Processing periods may vary depending on the nature of the request, the evidence required, the payment method, and the involvement of banks or third party payment providers.

Review period

A complete refund request will ordinarily be reviewed within two to five business days.

The review period may take longer where:

  • The request is incomplete.
  • Additional evidence or clarification is required.
  • The order includes multiple assignments or payment transactions.
  • A plagiarism, AI content, fraud, or chargeback investigation is necessary.
  • The matter requires management or payment provider review.
  • The customer does not respond promptly to questions.

Approval and payment period

Once a refund is approved, OakWrites will ordinarily initiate the payment within seven to ten business days.

This period refers to the time OakWrites may require to authorize and send the refund. It does not guarantee that the funds will appear in the customer’s account within the same period.

Original payment method

Refunds will normally be returned to the original payment method used for the order. This helps protect customers, reduce fraud, and maintain accurate transaction records.

OakWrites may not be able to send a refund to a different card, bank account, digital wallet, or person unless:

  • The original payment method can no longer receive the refund.
  • The payment provider permits an alternative method.
  • The customer completes any required identity and payment verification.
  • The alternative method is lawful and approved by OakWrites.

Payment provider and bank delays

After OakWrites initiates a refund, the customer’s bank, card issuer, payment processor, or digital wallet provider may require additional time to post the funds.

Depending on the payment method, location, currency, and financial institution, the refund may take several additional business days to appear.

Refund status stages

Status Meaning
Request received OakWrites has received the customer’s request, but no decision has been made.
Under review The order, payment, communication history, and supporting evidence are being assessed.
Additional information required The review is waiting for clarification, evidence, or verification from the customer or another party.
Approved OakWrites has authorized the full or partial refund.
Refund initiated The payment instruction has been sent through the applicable payment method or provider.
Completed OakWrites has completed its refund action, although the customer’s financial institution may still be processing the funds.
Denied The request did not satisfy the requirements of this Policy or was affected by fraud, misuse, insufficient evidence, or another valid reason.

International refunds

International transactions may involve currency conversion, intermediary banks, card networks, payment processors, or cross border transaction rules.

The amount received by the customer may differ slightly from the original amount paid because of exchange rate changes or independent financial institution charges that OakWrites does not control.

Processing fees and third party charges

OakWrites will refund the approved amount that it is responsible for returning. Certain processing fees, banking charges, currency conversion costs, or card issuer fees may be nonrefundable where they are retained by an independent third party.

OakWrites will not deduct additional amounts from an approved refund unless the deduction is disclosed, legally permitted, and reasonably connected to the transaction or dispute.

Closed, expired, or replaced payment methods

A refund sent to an expired or replaced payment card may still be redirected by the issuing bank to the customer’s current account. Customers should contact their bank where the original card is no longer active.

Where the refund cannot be completed through the original payment method, OakWrites may request additional verification before approving another payment route.

Chargeback restrictions

OakWrites may be unable to issue a direct refund while a chargeback, payment reversal, or bank dispute remains open. The customer may need to close the external dispute before OakWrites or the payment provider can complete a direct refund.

Tracking a refund

Customers may request an update by contacting support@oakwrites.com and including the order number and refund approval details.

Once OakWrites confirms that a refund has been initiated, the customer may also need to contact their bank, card issuer, or payment provider for information about posting delays.

Refund confirmation

OakWrites may send a confirmation message when a refund is approved or initiated. Customers should retain this message and any transaction reference for their records.

Banking time is separate from OakWrites processing time.

Even after OakWrites initiates a refund, the customer’s bank or payment provider may require additional time to display the funds.

Expected timeline

Refund requests are ordinarily reviewed within two to five business days. Approved refunds are ordinarily initiated within seven to ten business days.
