Terms of Service
Draft policy - see the notice below for what still requires legal review.
This page is a professional draft. Sections marked [PENDING LEGAL REVIEW] or containing a bracketed placeholder require input from qualified legal counsel and a confirmed business decision before this policy is considered final and legally binding.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By engaging GCC Assignments for editorial or submission support services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
2. Description of Services
We provide editorial and submission support services as described on our Services pages, including but not limited to language editing, formatting, journal-selection guidance, and submission preparation. Services are scoped individually with each client following a manuscript assessment.
3. Client Responsibilities
Clients remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their research, data, and conclusions, and for compliance with their institution's own academic integrity and editorial-assistance policies. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information and complete materials needed to perform the requested service.
4. No Guarantee of Outcomes
We do not guarantee journal acceptance, publication, peer-review outcomes, academic grades, or degree outcomes. Editorial and submission decisions rest solely with the relevant journal, conference, or academic institution.
