Last updated: 14th October 2022.
Our clients are everything to us. Without them (you), we won’t be able to run this platform. Your ideas and values matter to us. And this Terms & Conditions (StanzaGo T&C) clause is an outcome of those so that you can make the most out of StanzaGo.
With this in mind, a look at our values.
- Human Written Content for Humans:
Machines can’t touch human emotions, at least for now; therefore, StanzaGo prefers content that goes straight to the heart (and then to the mind.)
- AIM – Quality Content for the Web:
Our work will help you emerge as the expert in your domain and the brand your audience can trust, alongside making the web full of quality and valuable resources.
- All Over Satisfaction:
Be it content, support, or even pricing, at StanzaGo, you’ll find satisfaction in every step you take. Our values, work method, and charges are built to fulfil your requirements.
We guess these are enough to continue the rest of the nuff. 👇
By availing our services or using the StanzaGo platform, you agree with everything mentioned on this page. We, Us, and Our refers to StanzaGo, its Employees, Platform Managers, and Founders. We hope the information here will help you understand how things work on our platform, i.e., StanzaGo.com.
Account Approval at StanzaGo:
After making the payment, your account approval on StanzaGo happens at the sole discretion of StanzaGo itself. No 3rd party or other influence can motivate StanzaGo and its employed team members to approve your account.
Upon account approval, you’ll receive an email sharing the details to access your my-account area. Here, you can review your orders, subscriptions, payment details and more.
You might also receive another email sharing the details to log in StanzaGo Content Dashboard.
Using the StanzaGo Content Dashboard, you can request content, track your content request and communicate with one of our team members or writers.
Visit StanzaGo guidelines to learn how you can access the Content Dashboard.
Content Delivery:
Delivery is vital; though there’s no involvement of packaging and delivery partners, content, too, takes a bit of time considering the following facts,
- Discussion.
- Research.
- Structure/Outlining.
- Testing (if applicable, for example, in case of writing Documentation/User Guides/Product Descriptions)
- Writing.
- Re-reads.
- Editing.
- 1st Draft (Considered as Delivery)
- Incorporation of suggestion.
- Submission.
By taking into account the above factors/content creation phases, this is how delivery plays out at StanzaGo.
For Newsletters and Other Content (Ads, Social Copy; Proposals, Reviews, and Resumes)
The delivery will be projected based on the scope of work after discussion.
Other Essential Notes on Content Delivery:
- Bulk content will be delivered separately, one by one, rather than all at once.
- Weekends will not be counted in the delivery time.
- Content will be delivered in the StanzaGo Content Dashboard in Google Docs format. Or we will share it in an email upon request.
- $10 trial content only includes 500 words and not more than that.
Privacy Policy:
We care for your sensitive information; that’s why we have created a separate page. Otherwise, the Terms and Conditions will be much longer than it should be.
Read our privacy policy here → Privacy Policy – StanzaGo
Content Satisfaction:
At StanzaGo, you can avail of content services under four major groups,
- Weekly Subscription.
- Monthly Subscription.
- Individual Content.
- Custom Work.
Note: Custom Work has a separate policy, that you can find at the bottom of this page.
Each group, except for Individual Content of Articles, Blogs, and Tutorials; Newsletter, and Other Content, comes with Pre and Post Publication Edits.
These edits count as Satisfaction Attempts that fulfil our Money-Back Guarantee. And these attempts have different criteria for each content and content group. To avail of our service’s benefits in the most suitable way, you must understand them clearly. Therefore, the following paragraphs will help you get the best out of our Content Satisfaction Criteria.
Pre-publication Unlimited Edits / Satisfaction Attempts (PrPUE)
Pre-publication Unlimited Edits/Satisfaction Attempts are those edits that you can request or avail of before you publish the content anywhere. And each pre-publication edits have a time frame to request them or avail of, which is necessary to follow.
Failing to do those will count the work as APPROVED, and you cannot claim for Money-back.
1. For Weekly Subscription
You get Unlimited Edit Requests (UER) within each cycle of the weekly membership with 24-hour Request Edit Time (RET) for each content delivered.
For example, your Blogger Weekly plan starts on Wed; you get 2 blog credits. We deliver the 1st blog on FRI at 12:00 PM IST. You’ve got 24-hour RET; if you FAIL to RESPOND at this time, the Article/Blog/Tutorial will be considered as APPROVED, and you will not be able to avail of Money-back for that Article/Blog/Tutorial.
However, if you respond after the RET, we will provide you with Edits.
If you RESPOND within RET and we can’t satisfy you within the weekly cycle before next Wed, you can avail of money-back.
2. For Monthly Subscription
A month counts approx. 4 weeks and 3 days; therefore, we have divided the content Edit Time Frame as 8 days for 3 weeks and 6/7 days for the last, except for February, 7 days for 4 weeks.
During your monthly subscription, you get Unlimited Edit Requests (UER) for each content delivered with a maximum 24-hour Request Edit Time (RET.) If you FAIL to RESPOND within RET, the content will be counted as APPROVED, and you cannot claim money back for that but are eligible for edits.
Also, the maximum edit cycle for the entire content to be edited is the running monthly subscription month.
It means that all the content needs to be edited and approved within the month you have paid for. If your plan starts from 1st January, then all the work should be edited and approved before 1st February.
Failure to make Satisfaction Attempts from our side will make you eligible for the Money-back guarantee.
3. For Individual Content
You get Unlimited Edit Requests (UER) for each content delivered with 24-hour Request Edit Time (RET.) If you do not RESPOND within RET, the content will be counted as APPROVED (not claimable for REFUND) but eligible for Edits.
The maximum time for UER is 3 days, starting from when we deliver the content.
Within these days, if we can’t satisfy your request, you can claim money back for the Unapproved work.
Post-publication Unlimited Edits(PoPUE)
Post-publication Unlimited Edits allow you to make changes to the content you’ve APPROVED or got APPROVED due to your non-response within RET. These edits don’t count as Satisfaction Attempts/Edits, and you cannot ask for a refund.
No refund shall be given based on the PoPUE.
To avail of Post-publication Unlimited Edits, you should have a subscription account or individual content from eligible groups:
- Weekly Subscription: Enterprise or Freelancer.
- Monthly Subscription: Enterprise or Freelancer.
- Individual Content: Documentation or Product Description
The maximum number of days within which you can request Post-publication Unlimited Edits is 14 days. And this time frame starts based on the APPROVED status of the content as in the Pre-publication Unlimited Edits clause.
Weekends Excluded
To help our customers get the best out of our services, we have excluded weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from RET. Thus, allowing you to respond on time and avail of UER.
For example, if we deliver the content on Friday at 12:00 PM IST, you can respond by Monday at 12:00 PM IST. This helps our customers living in different time zones and working in different cultures get the best content from StanzaGo.
Your location is determined by the Payment Method and Address defined while ordering content from our platform.
Money-back Guarantee:
Our money-back guarantee ultimately depends on Pre-publication Unlimited Edits (PrPUE) as in Content Satisfaction. If you meet the criteria mentioned in the PrPUE clause, you can claim a refund per the conditions mentioned in this section of the StanzaGo T&C for each content group.
You might also not receive a complete 100% refund of your payment due to the charges applied by Payment Partners or Bank Accounts at Our End.
The supported content groups for Money-Back are
- Monthly Subscription.
- Weekly Subscription.
- Individual Content.
Note: $10 trial content amount is not refundable.
Money-back on Monthly Subscription
For a monthly subscription, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee that is partial.
A month counts approx. 4 weeks and 3 days. Therefore, we have divided the money-back for the monthly subscription as 8 days for 3 weeks and 6/7 days for the last, except for February, 7 days for 4 weeks.
Based on this, you get different percentages of refunds claimed in different weeks. This is due to the delicate nature of Content and to save StanzaGo Team’s efforts from fraud and misuse. The money-back you’d get is as follows,
* Money-back Percentage will get reduced if you’ve approved any work during Refund Claimed Week at the amount of $0.081/word. For instance, you claim a refund in week 2nd and have approved 2 content of 1500 words. Then you’ll get:
Money-back Percentage (75%) − (minus) Approved Content Number of Words (3000) X (multiplied by) Per Word Amount ($0.081)
If you claim without any approved work, you get a full refund based on the Refund Claimed Week.
Money-back on Weekly Subscription
Our money-back guarantee on a weekly subscription differs from monthly money-back. Yet, it ultimately depends on PrPUE as in the Content Satisfaction clause of StanzaGo T&C.
For the weekly subscription, you get up to a 100% refund during each weekly cycle, which is partial. For instance, if you approve 2 content of 1500 words and ask for a refund in the running weekly subscription, then you get
100% refund of the order amount − (minus) Number of Approved Content Words (3000) X (multiplied by) Per Word Amount ($0.081)
Money-back on Individual Content
For a single individual content, you get a full refund without any questions asked, upon failure to provide Satisfaction Attempts or you’re not satisfied with UER as in the Content Satisfaction clause of StanzaGo T&C.
For individual bulk content, you get a full refund for unapproved and not delivered content work. The refund price will be determined as follows,
100% refund of the order amount − (minus) Number of Approved Content Words X (multiplied by) Per Word/hr Amount
The Per Word Amount rate for each content of the Individual Content group is determined as follows,

Content Rollover:
Content Rollover at StanzaGo allows you to use unused credits of the weekly and monthly subscriptions. This is how it works,
Weekly Subscription Content Rollover
In a Weekly Subscription, you get 2 to 3 Blog Post Credits, depending on your chosen plan. Besides, credit for other content types is included with the particular plan you’ve subscribed to.
So, due to some reasons, if you’re not able to utilise these credits for the week you’re charged; you can use them in the next week. You can do that for up to 4 (four) consecutive weeks. After that, your Content Rollover will reset.
This is good when you’re taking a short break — no need to cancel or pause the subscription plan.
If somehow you’re not able to utilise the rolled-over credits within four weeks, then, in that case, we will offer you a refund*.
If you cancel your subscription and there are rolled over credits left with new credits, then you must utilise them before the plan expires with an extended grace period of 7 days. The grace period is only available when you cancel the subscription before 1 or 2 days of the renewal date.
If you don’t want to utilise the rolled-over credits after subscription plan cancellation, we will offer you a refund**.
* 25% reduced from the total order amount†. This deduction is the maintenance charge to keep your account active and provide service and customer support whenever needed.
** 25% reduced from the total order amount of unused credits.
† Refunding unused credits will take longer to reflect in your Bank Account than the usual time frame of 7-15 days.
Monthly Subscription Content Rollover:
In a Monthly Subscription, you get 8 to 12 Blog Post Credits, depending on the plan you choose. Besides, credit for other content types is included with the particular plan you’ve subscribed to.
So, due to some reasons, if you’re not able to utilise these credits for the month you’re charged; you can use them in the next month. You can do that for up to 2 (two) consecutive months. After that, your Content Rollover will reset.
This is good when you’re taking a short break — no need to cancel or pause the subscription plan.
If somehow you’re not able to utilise the rolled-over credits within two months, then, in that case, we will offer you a refund*.
If you cancel your subscription and there’s rolled over credits left with new credits, then you must utilise them before the plan expires with an extended grace period of 15 days. The grace period is only available when you cancel the subscription before 1 or 2 days of the renewal date.
If you don’t want to utilise the rolled-over credits after subscription plan cancellation, we will offer you a refund**.
