Visitor Responsibilities

Just in case you skipped over the previous section: You are responsible for your own safety and well-being – physical, financial and legal – while browsing the internet. Anything you read here was written for a general audience. You are important - take care of yourself and your business!

From time to time I may provide links to third party sites. I am not responsible for any information provided on these sites, and the links are solely for your information or entertainment. I do not endorse any products they offer for sale and have no relationship with them.

Intellectual Property

Everything you read on this website was written by me (or I have asked someone to write it) unless other sources are acknowledged (such as for quotes).

​​

​Payment Terms

I am invoicing for my services and payment is due 7 days after receiving the invoice, unless otherwise agreed (as would be the case for progress payments).
​

Delivery​

All service discussions will be made either by phone, email or Skype/Zoom.
Once we agree on the service, we will sign a service agreement which identifies the scope of work and delivery times, etc.
​

Returns Policy - Change of Mind

I want you to be 100% happy with my services. However, I also need to feed myself, so there are reasonable boundaries around this. If you are not totally satisfied with my service, please contact me: mmcopyedit1@gmail.com within 48 hours of receiving the service, so we can discuss your concerns and try to negotiate a win/win solution.
​

Jurisdiction

If you have a problem, contact me and we will discuss it. If we can’t reach an agreement, I may suggest bringing in a neutral third party (a mediator) to help us find a solution. If we still can’t work it out, any disputes or arguments arising under this agreement are to be dealt with under the law of New Zealand.
