Privacy Policy

 

Breathe on me, breath of God: fill me with life anew, that I may love as you have loved and do as you would do.

– Edwin Hatch (1878)

Privacy and confidentiality

Your work will remain confidential at all time and your personal information will not be shared with a third party except as disclosed in this policy.
We may need to disclose personal and other information we hold as a result of a legal process or for other reasons required or allowed by applicable laws.

If we believe that a crime, tort, or other illegal act, including payment fraud, has taken place or is about to take place, we may voluntarily disclose relevant personal information to the police, courts, or other competent authorities.

 

Umoya Editing may, from time to time, employ the services of contractors or agents. If said contractors or agents require access to personal information or documents held by Umoya Editing to perform their duties, they will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement and required to adhere to this Privacy Policy.

Unauthorized use of any portion of this site beyond that contained in the previous paragraph may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Authors submitting material to Umoya Editing for service retain copyright in such material, and Umoya Editing requires no other credit or acknowledgment for work completed other than the fees described on the site.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitations of Liability

Umoya Editing and its contractors attempt to be as accurate as possible. However, Umoya Editing does not warrant that service descriptions, other content of this site, or its services performed for its customers are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error free.

Customers

Price, terms, and availability are subject to change without notice. All prices quoted are in South African Rand (ZAR) unless otherwise stated. Umoya Editing and its affiliates reserve the right to limit quantities, to request payment prior to delivery of service, to refuse service, or to cancel orders at its sole discretion. Cancellation of an order by the customer may incur cancellation costs depending on how much work has been done on the document.

Purchase prices and invoices may be based on information that you provide to us, including the word count of the documents you are submitting for service. You represent and warrant that such information is accurate, and you agree to pay Umoya Editing any additional charges arising from any inaccuracy in such information within seven days of notification thereof. Umoya Editing is not obligated to verify the accuracy of such information but will refund overpayments arising from inaccuracy therein within five business days of the discovery thereof. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, payment is due when an invoice is rendered. If you do not provide accurate contact information, or if you do not respond promptly if we require further information, we cannot be responsible for delays in providing the service.

Due to privacy regulations and our constant commitment to protecting the confidentiality and security of our clients’ documents, access to completed files is restricted to three months. Please do not consider Umoya Editing a file storage platform. Please download and save your completed files within three months of your order’s completion. We recommend that you make an additional backup of all documents, whether it is on a cloud server, external hard drive, USB stick, etc. After this time, a fee of R150 (ZAR) would be charged for the recovery of a completed file.
