Customer service terms and usage policy

Although Need An Article does posses a valid email address, it is not the primary way we administer customer service. Because email can be 'hit and miss' and unreliable at times; due to the various reasons we can not fully expound on here, we have resorted to using help desk software to offer a more reliable and stable customer service experience. Because this help desk is accessible and available in both the members' and public area of the site, we will require clients to use this channel of communication for any such customer support issues that may arise. Choosing NOT to utilize the help desk does not make us liable or subjugable to scrutiny on the part of someone (Be it client or potential client) who simply does not like to read. So we ask that you use the help desk located in the members' area labeled "Support" and on the main site near the top right under "Questions?". Thank you.

Content Refund policy

Because we have no way of controlling how you use the content you receive back from us, we do not issue refunds, or initiate reassignments on article requests, press release requests, or any type of requests available on the site unless it can absolutely be proven a given writer was unqualified, or negligent in fulfilling a request.

Article credit Refund policy
