Authors submitting material to English Editorial Solutions (EES) for service retain copyright in such material, and EES requires no credit or acknowledgment for work completed other than the fees described on the various services pages throughout the company website and in this document. EES does not claim any rights to such material by virtue of supplying its services, and will not use or disclose such material for any reason other than providing our services and then only to the submitting author or an authorized representative.

All documents are to be submitted in electronic form by email and will be returned after service in the same manner unless agreed otherwise. All such documents must be capable of being edited in MS Word and will be provided in that word processor’s file format using tracked changes. No responsibility for loss of formatting, or inability to follow tracked changes, on opening in or importing into any other word processor or version can be accepted by EES. All documents will be deleted from our systems within 30 days of the completion of work. EES cannot and will not undertake to provide any kind of document archiving or backup services.  Requests for copies after receipt and acknowledgement of completed work will be refused. It is the author’s responsibility to check that the document file has been received intact and openable and to advise EES promptly if otherwise.
           
The author represents and warrants that the author owns or otherwise controls all rights to the material that is submitted for service; that the material is factually accurate; that the material is legal (whether in respect of copyright, plagiarism or otherwise) that use of the material supplied does not violate this policy and will not cause injury or harm of any kind to any person or entity; and that the author thereby indemnifies EES for all claims that may result from material supplied. EES retains the right but not the obligation to monitor and refuse any activity or content. EES takes no responsibility and assumes no liability in any respect for any material submitted by the author or by any third party on the author’s behalf. In accepting material for service, EES expressly declines to undertake any factual, legality, veracity or other form of content-checking (including the accuracy of quotations, citations and other references) except in the syntactical respects detailed above (‘Editing’).

EES provides advice on changes that the author, the author’s publisher, or other third parties may accept, reject, or further amend. All editing by EES is undertaken on a “suggestions” best-effort basis, and relies on the content being sufficiently understandable that correction may be offered. The author may not assume that EES or its editors possess any subject matter expertise whatsoever. The content and presentation of any finished work is therefore entirely the responsibility of the author or other persons to whom the author delegates, licenses, or otherwise assigns control over his or her work. It is the responsibility of the author or such other persons to ascertain whether or not the intended sense has been preserved in the course of editing by EES, and to address any matter that has been flagged, queried or commented upon. We may, at our sole discretion, undertake limited discussion as to the manner of expressing a small portion of text for no extra charge. For any additional text added to a document above 250 words, EES reserves the right to charge an additional proportionate amount for said new content. Furthermore, a HK$50 service charge will be levied on all quotations above the minimum fee of HK$150. EES expressly denies any responsibility for the author’s failure to accept suggestions or for other changes made to a returned document, or for our failure to comprehend the author’s intention or sense. EES reserves the right to determine how many re-edits of a document is deemed as reasonable, and at any point can refuse further re-edting. Our work on any manuscript does not imply any endorsement by EES of its content in any respect, nor of any authorities cited therein, nor of the author or authors, other editors or supervisors.

EES expressly prohibits the association of the company English Editorial Solutions or any EES trademark, editor, affiliate, or personnel with any published work, whether as a co-author or by way of acknowledgment, direct or indirect, in any form, or in any place. Comments provided to the author by EES and its personnel are for personal use only. Credit, rights, and acknowledgment for original works created by English Editorial Solutions and its staff will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
