OUR MISTAKES!

We want to have zero errors on our website!

In spite of the fact that we proofread, we too are prone to make the same "accidental" errors as anyone else.  Our own proofreading is also prone to missing the errors.

I'm sure we have blundered too.  Help us find them and we will give you a cut on your first bill with us.  In fact, it is easier to spot someone else's errors than it is to spot your own.  Therefore, we can help each other.

For every grammar error, missing word, misspelled word, or extra word type of error you find on our website, we will give you 2% to 5% off of your total first time proofreading bill up to 50% off maximum provided that we decide the proposed error(s) are of value, that we implement them, and that the changes are displayed in published form for 7 consecutive days.  Should we change our website in such a manner as to no longer need the proposed errors, then the value of the proposed error will be zero.  We will not change our website to eliminate use of a correction, only in the rare case that we no longer use a page and you just happened to find an error on the page just before we eliminate it.  Just for finding it, we will give a consolation and possibly full credit.  It is just that we do not want to lose out should we redesign our website.  The chances of missing out on a credit would be slim so don't hesitate.

Grammar errors are worth 2% to 4% for each error (see below).  Contested grammar errors must be backed up with an American English reference book, printed or revised within the last 20 years.

Do not be alarmed, if you are confident that you are correct, then we could very easily agree and you still get your discount.

Our intent is also to encourage your business.  So if you are considering using our services, you might be surprised just how easily we will allow the discount just to get your business.

We, like anyone else, don't always place our commas where we later think we should have earlier.  So, we will entertain your ideas on commas but we do not give a discount if our commas are different from what you might have used.  Why?  Different people have different opinions in regards to commas.  Some rules are pretty clear, others are not.  Rather than argue the point, we say drop it.   To us, it is the same as debating religion or politics.  No thanks.  We will listen to what you have to say, and we might change ours if we agree that we missed one but we will leave it at that.  Happy hunting!

Step 1.  Make arrangements for us to proofread your material (web pages, manual, brochure, etc.).

Step 2.  Choose a method of letting us know:

Up to 50% off: Each grammar error is worth 4%, all other errors are worth 5% off.  Send the number of errors located, the URLs, the descriptions of the errors, a screen capture of your entire desktop (PrtScr to the clipboard, then pasted into a standard MS BMP file, JPEG, or GIF file) displaying our original screen in a maximized browser window, and the date and time of the capture.  Failure to comply with all details will result in no reduction in your total price.

Up to 25% off: Each grammar error is worth 2%, all other errors are 2.5% off.  In an unencrypted file, send the number of errors located but not the URLs or the descriptions.  In an encrypted file, send the URL that has the error(s) on it, the description of the error, a screen capture of your entire desktop (PrtScr to the clipboard, then pasted into a standard MS BMP file, JPEG, or GIF file) displaying our original screen in a maximized browser window, and  the date and time of the capture.  Do not send the encrypted password along with the file.  Only send it when we tell you what your charges would be otherwise.  Failure to comply with all details will result in no reduction in your total price.

It is not our intent to deny you credit for finding our errors.  If you find them, then you deserve the savings!  We have tried to simplify the method in order to not hold up your own order.  If you wish, we can create a signed agreement and contract clarifying any details, however, due to extra costs involved, we can only give you a maximum of 10% credit towards your total bill.

Understand that as we find our own errors, we will make corrections and republish.  Your corrections  must be processed 2 days prior to our republishing of our website pages.  Send your e-mail "return receipt requested" so that you can see when we opened the e-mail.  We will publish any changes of our own before processing any correction e-mails.  We will process your e-mail message ASAP afterward.  If you have not heard back from us within 24 hours, then please contact us to discuss your corrections.  You will be able to verify if the error(s) you have found were corrected before your e-mail was read.

The entire decision as to the value of the proposed errors is with our company only.  Whether we will incorporate any proposed errors into our website is at the discretion of our company.  Keep in mind that we want to correct any errors so we have little reason to reject obvious corrections to our mistakes.

You agree that our company, its employees, contractors, or business associates, are not to be held liable in any way for non-acceptance of any proposed errors submitted, or our refusal to deny you credit for proposed errors submitted.  You submitting any proposed errors to us shows your agreement with these terms and conditions.  Your sole recourse is to air your opinion on a public forum that we may also respond to.  You agree that in this unlikely event, that your submission to any public forum can only be made along with a response from our company.
