Terms and Conditions

PhD Research Guide is committed to guide the researchers in their research work as per the commitment. We understood that the researchers' perception may vary from one to another due to which we provide unlimited revisions on whatever we commit as per the initial communication with Admin team (Refer our work flow process).

Custom-made Research work

We completely research on every topic that we are assigned to and we are not involved in selling any ready-made research work. We educate the client at every stage (if inquired by the client, at separate cost) and the research work that we are committing is to be used as a reference and not to be submitted as it is.

Whenever a project is committed, the experts will be allotted within 24 hours and the work will be started within 48 hours (This may vary for shorter deadline projects. i.e., for projects less than 72 hours, the project will be started within 2 hours of project confirmation). If we have to stop the project and refund the payment, the request must be given within 24 hours of the project confirmation.

Every committed project is assigned a project confirmation code #15xxx000 during which you will be confirmed about the following

Title

Type of work

Number of pages/words

Deadline/Timeline

Payment status

After project confirmation, every mail from you (to either experts 'team or admin team) must have project confirmation code at the subject line to track the same.

Any payment details/new additions to existing project must be sent only to admin team (info@phdresearchguide.com) mentioning your project confirmation code.

Any technical updates/queries/comments/recommendations must be sent only to experts team mentioning your project confirmation code and it should not violate the initial commitment in terms of length and requirement. We highly appreciate your cooperation not to send any payment details to experts team.

If you require specific formatting and referencing guidelines to be followed for your university/department, you must provide us the same during the project confirmation. It is expected from the client to provide one-time instructions and to stand by that during the course of the project since changed requirements will cost you additionally.

Deliverables:

During the project confirmation, the client/researcher will be informed about the deliverables clearly. If there is any additional requirement requested from the client/researcher, then the experts team reroute the client to admin team for confirmation. (Refer work flow process)

For example, if topic selection is confirmed with us, the topics alone will be provided to the client.

If description/supportive information is required or an abstract is required along with the topics, then the client can opt for other services (Topic with Abstract, Topics with Description for Topics and so on)
