NATURE OF THIS SITE:
This site is a platform for persons or companies (“Clients”) in need of written content. It simply connects such Clients with various freelance writers who have a working relationship with Stellar.
ACCESS TO THIS SITE:
To gain access to this site you must register as a Client using the sign up form at the website. After gaining access, if you wish to place orders, you will need to add additional information and add funds to your account. All registration data must be accurate and truthful. You do not have a right to have access to this site—Stellar can terminate your account and deny you from all its services at any time.
ORDERING:
When submitting an order, Stellar will attempt to connect your order with a relevant writer. There are no guarantees that a writer will be found and assigned to your order. Your order must not infringe upon rights of third persons, in particular copyrights, moral rights, trademarks and services marks, etc. You may not submit any pornographic, obscene, slanderous, libelous, or other degrading orders.
DELIVERY OF CONTENT TO CLIENT:
- Once the writer has completed the order, it will be posted to the Client’s account for review.
- The Client can accept the order or request a revision.
- The Client can reject the order only after at least one revision request.
- After the Client accepts the order, funds equaling the cost of that order will be removed from the Client’s account.
- If the Client does not accept, request a revision, or reject the order from 72 hours (or the review time period that has been set in the Client’s account) after the most recent submission, the order will be automatically accepted and the appropriate funds will be removed from the Client’s account.
EXPIRED CREDITS:
Stellar considers your account to be inactive if you have not placed an order or deposited funds for a period of twelve (12) months. You can reactivate your account simply by logging in. If your account is inactive, any remaining balance in your account will be removed from your account.
RESTORING EXPIRED CREDITS:
If the credits in your account have expired, you can email support@stellarcontent.com or your Client Success Manager and we will restore your account balance.
PRICE INCREASE
Stellar reserves the right to change pricing at any time, but will notify you of any changes. If you are on a renewable contract, general price increases will not affect you during the Original Contract Term. Stellar will charge or invoice you under the new price structure at the beginning of each Renewable Contract Term.
REFUND POLICY:
Any funds you add to your Stellar account are refundable within 12 months of the deposit date, less any associated transaction fees charged by our payment processor. Post this 12-month period, funds remaining in your account will not be eligible for a cash refund but can be redeemed through content orders only. A minimum balance of $10 is required in your Stellar account to process a refund within this eligible timeframe. For refund requests or to redeem funds through content orders, please reach out to support@stellarcontent.com or to your Customer Success Manager.
When ordering content an amount of your prepaid funds necessary to cover the cost of the content is automatically held to get the order started. While the order is in progress a refund cannot be requested. If, after receiving the completed content, you are not satisfied you can start the revision process. We offer unlimited revisions to get your content specifications correct. If, after allowing a writer to revise your content, you’re still not satisfied, you may then request a full refund of your order. You may also choose to skip the revision process and pay 30% of the order’s cost. For more information, please see our help guide on cancelling orders.
CLIENT RIGHTS TO ACCEPTED CONTENT:
The Client has no rights to or ownership of any content until they have accepted the order through the site interface and funds are removed for that order. ALL VIOLATIONS BY CLIENTS WILL BE ENFORCED BY SITE. Once accepted, the Client has rights to publish, perform, display, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works and sell the delivered and approved content in any type of media including, but not limited to, print and or online media throughout the world.
