This Refunds Policy sets out the circumstances under which refunds are available, the procedures for requesting refunds, and your rights under applicable UK law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
By placing an order with Top Dissertation Writing Services UK, you agree to this Refunds Policy in full. If you do not agree to any part of this policy, please do not place an order. You may also wish to review our full Terms & Conditions, which govern our services, including quality standards, delivery and revision policies.
Your Statutory Rights
Under UK consumer protection legislation:
- Right to Cancel (Cooling-Off Period): You may cancel an online order within 14 calendar days of payment, so long as we have not yet begun substantive work (for example, before a writer is assigned and has commenced work).
- Right to Services with Reasonable Care and Skill: All services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. If they are not, you have the right to a repeat of the service, price reduction, or refund.
- Right to Services Within a Reasonable Time: If no specific deadline is agreed, we must complete your order within a reasonable timeframe.
- Right to Price Reduction: If services are late, faulty, or not as described, you may request a price reduction or refund in full or part.
Our Refunds Policy builds upon these statutory rights to ensure transparency and customer confidence.
Overview of Refund Categories
We offer refunds in the following categories:
- Order Cancellation Refunds
- Duplicate Payment Refunds
- Identical Order Refunds
- No Writer Available Refunds
- Late Delivery Refunds
- Quality-Related (Plagiarism or Deficient Service) Refunds
- Progressive Delivery Partial Refunds
- Non-Refundable Fees
Each category is detailed below, with clear percentages, timeframes, and requirements.
Order Cancellation Refunds
Cancellation Before Writer Assignment
- 100% Refund.
- Applies if you cancel your order before we assign a writer (i.e., before substantive work begins).
- You may cancel via your account dashboard or by contacting our Customer Support within the 14-day cooling-off period.
Cancellation After Writer Assignment, No Deliverables Issued
- If you cancel after a writer has been assigned—but before any completed work is delivered—refunds are determined by the elapsed portion of your deadline:
- ≤ 50% of the deadline elapsed: 70% of the total fee refunded.
- > 50% of the deadline elapsed: 50% of the total fee refunded.
Cancellation After Delivery
- Once the completed paper is delivered to your account, the order is considered fulfilled.
- Further refunds for cancellations are not available under this section; instead, you may request revisions or invoke the Quality-Related Refund policy if the work is deficient.
Duplicate Payment Refunds
- If you are inadvertently charged more than once for the same order (for example, receiving two transaction receipts for one order), we will refund the duplicate amount in full.
- Procedure: Forward both receipts or transaction confirmations to help@topdissertationwritingservices.co.uk.
- Timeline: Refunds processed within 4–6 business days to your original payment method.
Identical Order Refunds
- If you place two identical orders by mistake:
- Before assignment: Cancel the unwanted duplicate for a full refund (100%).
- After assignment: Standard Cancellation Refund rates apply (see Section 3.2).
- It is your responsibility to cancel any orders you do not require before work commences.
No Writer Available Refunds
- In rare instances where we cannot secure a suitably qualified writer for your project:
- Full Refund (100%) of all monies paid.
- We may also offer you a discount voucher toward a future order as goodwill.
- No refund or compensation is offered where similar expertise is later found and delivered to you.
Late Delivery Refunds
Our commitment is timely delivery, including weekends and UK public holidays, unless otherwise agreed.
First Draft Late by Our Fault
- Price Recalculation: We will recalculate the fee based on the missed deadline. For instance, if an 8-hour deadline paper is delivered in 10 hours, you are entitled to the difference in price between an 8-hour and a 10-hour order.
- Long-Term Orders (11+ days): You may request a partial refund of 7% of the total fee if the first draft arrives late.
- Unusable Delay: If the first draft arrives so late that it is unusable, you may request a 100% refund and a discount code for future use.
Revision Late
- Revision deadlines are set separately.
- Late revisions do not qualify for deadline-based refunds under Section 7.1.
- To avoid timing conflicts, allow at least 30% longer than your final deadline for revisions.
Quality-Related Refunds
Plagiarism (> 30%)
- If you obtain an official plagiarism report (e.g., Turnitin) showing over 30% unoriginal content, submit it to our Disputes Team.
- 100% Refund upon verification.
- Requirement: Valid report within 7 days of delivery.
Deficient Service (Grammar, Instructions Not Followed)
- First, request unlimited free revisions (see our Revision Policy).
- If, after three revision rounds, the work still falls short of your brief (e.g., major factual or stylistic errors), you may request a partial refund up to 30% of the order fee.
- Procedure: Provide detailed feedback and examples within 15 days of delivery.
- Review Period: Our Quality Assurance team will respond within 5 business days.
Progressive Delivery Refunds
For orders split into multiple deliverable parts:
- Once you approve a part in your account, that part is deemed accepted and non-refundable.
- Refunds apply only to the final, unapproved part, and only before work on that part begins.
- The 10% Progressive Delivery fee is non-refundable once any part is approved.
- You have up to 21 days from final approval to request a refund on the last part.
Non-Refundable Fees
Certain fees and deposits are non-refundable:
- Writer Sample Deposit: The fee for obtaining sample pages from a prospective writer (e.g., £5) is non-refundable.
- Progressive Delivery Fee: As above, non-refundable once any part is approved.
- Expedited Delivery Upgrades: Fees paid for shortened deadlines (e.g., 24-hour service) are non-refundable, except where the delay is our fault under Section 7.1.
- Discount Codes: Discounts applied at checkout are final and cannot be adjusted or refunded after payment.
How to Request a Refund
- Identify the Category: Refer to Sections 3–10 to determine which refund category applies.
- Compile Documentation: Gather any required evidence (e.g., transaction receipts, plagiarism reports, detailed feedback).
- Submit Request: Email help@topdissertationwritingservices.co.uk with:
- Your order number
- Name and contact details
- Refund category and rationale
- Supporting documents
- Acknowledgement: We will acknowledge receipt within 1 business day and provide a case reference.
- Resolution: Our Dispute Resolution team will investigate and respond with a decision within 10 business days.
- Processing: If approved, refunds are processed within 4–6 business days back to your original payment method.
Chargebacks and Dispute Resolution
- If you are dissatisfied, please use our internal refund process rather than initiating a chargeback.
- Unauthorized chargebacks without first exhausting our dispute process may result in order termination and loss of unpaid work.
- We reserve the right to contest chargebacks and provide evidence of service delivery.
- Our goal is to resolve any disputes amicably. If internal resolution fails, you may seek independent dispute resolution or arbitration in England and Wales.
Governing Law and Severability
This Refunds Policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If any provision of this policy is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
