Services/ Products And Refund Policies

Digital products

All digital products are non-refundable.

Services:

We offer copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and editorial assessments for authors looking to strengthen their book.

For writers/indie-authors looking for editors, we have the right to choose or refuse any story that we feel may not align with our mission or our schedule. Although we strive to help you release a flawless book, we cannot guarantee there will not be any human error.

After the client receives the free 30-minute consultation, they have the right to decline the services offered. However, if both parties proceed with the service, and once the NDA and all editing service contracts are signed by both parties, all sales are final. Our editing services are non-refundable.

At Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, we will NEVER use AI to generate creative writing, edit or write a book.

Contracts

All clients either offered a payment plan or flat service rate are to enter a contractual agreement that must be signed by all parties (Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, the editor, and the client). The contract(s) must be signed after the project has been accepted by the business and editor at Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, and once the client chooses to accept our offer and the chosen editor to polish their book, but before any editing beyond the “sample edit” at 1,000 words.

Payment Plans

We offer payment plans with clients, and the specifics of that will be outlined in an “Editing Service Breakdown”. The payment plan agreement will be included in the contract between Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC and the client. We require a 10% deposit from the total upon contractual agreement, then the payment plan will be adjusted according to the remaining balance from the deposit. This allows us to reserve your spot on our calendar.

Flat service rate

For any client who doesn’t want a payment plan and requests the flat service rate. We require a 10% deposit from the total upon contractual agreement to reserve your slot on our calendar.

Cancelation Fees

If you cancel the service while on a payment plan or a flat service rate, you must let us know as soon as possible, and you will not get a refund on your deposit.
