These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Refund Policy listed on the particular venue where the item is for sale.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.

We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the Service will be corrected.

SECTION 8 – REFUND AND REVISION POLICY

The Products and Services that Growth Zone Media offers are considered non-tangible, irrevocable goods. Once the order has been delivered and accepted, either by the client manually or by allowing a allotted review time allowed for the project to expire, we cannot offer a full refund.

With every project, the client has the opportunity to ask for two free revisions if your project does not meet client expectations. All revision requests must be made within the review time-frame stated in the original project quote. Revisions requested after this time cannot be guaranteed and will not be provided in many cases.

There is rarely a case where the project is not acceptable after two revisions. However, there are exceptions. For this reason, Growth Zone Media offers future revisions at ½ the cost of the original order. If, after a review, Growth Zone Media determines that the reason for the revision was our fault, this fee can be waived at our discretion, depending on the extent of the error.

We will provide refunds under certain circumstances:

1. The product was not delivered.

2. The download link did not work, and the error was on our end.

3. Major defects that include: author failed to follow original order instructions as provided by you and the problem was unresolved after two revisions, excessive major grammatical errors according to AP Stylebook and Drake’s English, product not as described.

4. Content is not found to be completely original using Copyscape software. Copyscape is considered the industry standard, and the results of no other software will be accepted for these purposes.

In all of these cases, the request for revision or refund must be made within the review time-frame. Growth Zone Media also reserves the right to correct these errors within 72 hours after the request is made by you. In all of these cases, clear evidence must be provided proving that the purchased product is not as it is described in the quote, or that these conditions exist.

Growth Zone Media does not bear any responsibility, and therefore, we do not satisfy any refund/return/exchange requests based on incompatibility of our products with some third-party software, including plug-ins, add-ons, modules, search engines, scripts, and extensions, etc., Growth Zone Media does not guarantee that our products are fully compatible with any third-party programs and does not provide support for third-party applications.

Growth Zone Media will not issue refunds based on incompatibility with word processing software. Growth Zone Media delivers all of its digital products as Microsoft Word .docx format. We do not accept or bear responsibility for any of the costs associated with translating documents into a format that is compatible with the client’s system, and the client is solely responsible for rendering the delivered product into the appropriate format.

We do not issue refunds or allow revisions in the following cases:

1. Client changed order 12 hours after the order was placed.

2. Errors and Omissions in the order instructions provided by the client.

3. Failure to provide complete information in the order instructions.

4. Failure to respond to our requests for clarification or further information within 24 hours after the request was made.

5. New information or changes to the scope are different from or the original order request.

We request that you include all instructions, preferences, and reference material in the order form when the client places a request. If the client wants to add or change it later on, the request will be subject to additional fees after the 12-hour change period has expired after placing the order. The fee for revisions that change the scope of an order will be between 20% to 80% of the original order price.

Growth Zone Media uses the following factors when assessing fees for revisions that change the scope of an order:

Effort required by the writer to make the adjustments
Effort required to review the new drafts
Impact on word count

If the client submits a revision request that changes the scope of your request, Growth Zone Media will be in touch with you via email to discuss and confirm any additional fees prior to charging said fees and beginning work making the changes.

Reopening Closed Jobs

Once your Review Deadline has passed on a given job, that piece will be marked “Complete” and the order will be closed and cannot be reopened. The client can place a new order that reflects additions or changes to the old job. We do not keep copies of old jobs for an predetermined length of time, so the client will have to provide us with a copy of the original order.

Any refund or revision requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to see if they qualify. We reserve the sole rights regarding whether a refund or revision is granted or denied. Please note that if your order is refunded, either in full or in part, you do not retain the copyright on the work submitted to you and you agree not to use it for any official or unofficial purpose.

SECTION 9 – GRANT OF RIGHTS TO THE CLIENT FOR ORIGINAL CONTENT

Nothing in these Terms of Services shall be deemed to constitute, create, imply, give effect to, or otherwise recognize an agency, partnership, employment, joint venture or formal business entity of any kind between the author and the owner of this Site.

Growth Zone Media and you agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to these Terms of Services.

SECTION 23 – RIGHTS TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Growth Zone Media and you acknowledge and agree that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide an aggrieved party with full compensation in the event of the other party’s breach of these Terms of Services, and that an aggrieved party shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of any such breach, in addition to seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.

SECTION 24 – ATTORNEY’S FEES

In the event any party (you or Growth Zone Media) shall commence any claims, actions, formal legal action, or arbitration to interpret and/or enforce these Terms of Services or issues relating thereto, including without limitation claimed breaches of representations and warranties, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other available damages or other relief, its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection therewith, including attorney’s fees incurred on appeal.

SECTION 25 – ASSIGNMENT

These Terms of Services will be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of the client, and any successor or assignee of Growth Zone Media. Any such successor or assignee of Growth Zone Media will be deemed substituted for Growth Zone Media under the terms of this Terms of Services for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity that at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Growth Zone Media. None of the rights of the client may be assigned or transferred without the express prior written agreement of Growth Zone Media, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of the client’s rights or obligations in contravention of this paragraph will be null and void and of no effect.

SECTION 26 – SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

SECTION 27 – NO WAIVER

Failure by either party to enforce any provision of these Terms of Services will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision, unless made in writing and signed by the party to whom the waiver is to be enforced against. No waiver of one breach shall constitute a waiver of subsequent breaches of the same or of a different nature.

SECTION 28 – HEADINGS

Section and subsection headings of these Terms of Services are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

SECTION 29 – TERMINATION
