Introduction
Throughout this Policy, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, and “The Urban Writers” refer to Dibbly Inc. (o/a The Urban Writers). The Urban Writers, a Dibbly company, offers this website, including all information, tools, goods, and services available from us to you, the user.
Reasonable Efforts in Regards to Plagiarism
Freelancers on The Urban Writers provide professional writing services and as such, we have a high regard for quality and providing plagiarism-free content. We scan all products for plagiarism using PlagiarismSearch’s Plagiarism Scanner before making orders available for our customers to download from our platform. Additionally, we engage human editors who review documents to search for and address potential plagiarism. While we make reasonable efforts to protect our customers from potential plagiarism, we cannot guarantee that products and services will be 100% plagiarism free.
The Urban Writers is dedicated to delivering quality content. Consequently, any ad verbatim plagiarism that is detected during the completion of a project, either by means of plagiarism-detection software, by The Urban Writers’ administrative team, or by an assigned editor, will lead to the immediate termination of the contractor responsible for such plagiarism. In cases where an order is found to contain accidental plagiarism, it will be remedied by the freelancer assigned to the project upon its discovery by either the customer, admin team, or editor. In cases where ad verbatim plagiarism has occurred, The Urban Writers endeavors to offer its clients a full refund OR (but not AND) a reassignment and recompletion of the project at hand in.
The Onus to Ensure an Order is Plagiarism Free
The onus to ensure an order is plagiarism free falls on the customer themselves. To enable customers to check their orders for plagiarism, The Urban Writers has instituted a system where customers will be prompted to review and approve the plagiarism scan on all written orders before an editor is assigned to them. During this process, it’s important that the customer fully engages with the order and thoroughly checks the plagiarism scan produced to ensure it is to their satisfaction. If any plagiarism is found in the project, the customer is able to refer it back to the writer to have any areas of concern reworked to ensure that they are sufficiently original. If any ad verbatim plagiarism is found, the customer is encouraged to report it to support@dibbly.com.
While The Urban Writers makes all reasonable attempts to scan projects for plagiarism, and the first step of this process is a built-in feature of our Platform, the onus to ensure that the content is plagiarism free to the client’s satisfaction is on the client themselves. The Urban Writers highly recommends that its clients do their own plagiarism scans and ‘checks’ before submitting any and all projects for publication or distribution.
