1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”, “client”) and Wiki Verification (“Service”, “we”, “our”, “us”). These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of our website, services, and applications (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing and using our Services, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use our Services.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. Please ensure that you check the applicable Terms every time you use our Site or utilize our services so that you understand which Terms apply. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Site or utilization of our site after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted.
2. Services
We offer various services related to online reputation management on Wikipedia including article creation and editing. The specific scope of work, deliverables, and terms for each service will be as described on our website. By making a purchase, you agree that you have fully reviewed all relevant information provided and that our services are provided with no guarantees, warranties, or predictions of the outcome of the services. The outcome of each engagement depends on multiple factors and we cannot guarantee a positive outcome.
3. Subscriptions
Our ongoing reputation management service is a monthly subscription service. The initial subscription period is six months, which is included with any article creation or modification package. After the initial six months, the subscription will automatically renew monthly unless canceled by the client within the customer portal which is powered by Stripe as our third-party partner. The service includes regular monitoring of Wikipedia articles for community edits that result in substantive changes no longer reflecting client goals as understood by us. We will notify you through your contact method on file should we detect such edits. The service does not include edits or actions to respond to changes which shall be billable separately if agreed between you and us.
4. Fees and Payment
Use of our Services requires payment of fees. Before we have any obligation to provide Services, you must pay the fees (as well as applicable taxes) in full, in such amounts and for such billing frequency as specified during registration, as updated (prospectively, not retroactively) by you from time to time. You agree that, upon registering for the Services, you authorize us to charge your method of payment (e.g., credit card) for the fees and applicable taxes from your registration date based upon your chosen billing frequency (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually). Should the entity the Services are purchased for be unable to meet its obligations or cease to exist, as the authorizing party, you accept personal liability for any outstanding charges that may exist. Overdue charges will accrue interest monthly at the rate of 5% of the then-outstanding unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. We reserve the right to terminate your account in the event of non-payment of amounts owed to us. All amounts owed under this Agreement are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as specifically provided in this Section 4.
We reserve the right to change our fees at any time, except for subscriptions, which we may change upon advance notice of 30 days. By continuing to use the Services, you accept such changes. We are not required to notify you of temporary promotions or reductions in fees.
You agree to foreswear the use of credit card disputes or other dispute resolution methods in regard to charges agreed to. You further agree you may be required to pay us a surcharge should any dispute be filed equal to our expenses defending such dispute but no less than $100.00. If further agree that if your bill remains unpaid for 90 days, we can refer your debt to a debt collection agency, and if we do so, you must pay any costs that we incur in connection with the recovery of the unpaid bill (including the agency’s fees and any legal fees).
5. Refunds and Cancellations
All services are non-refundable and non-cancelable, with the following exceptions:
- If a project fails the Eligibility Assessment in the first step of our Article Creation Packages, a refund will be provided minus the listed cost of the Eligibility Assessment service.

We agree to hold Confidential Information in confidence and to not use or disclose it to a third party for an indefinite period from the date of initial disclosure of Confidential Information. We will use Confidential Information only for the purpose of providing our services.

We may disclose Confidential Information to our employees, agents, financial advisers and independent contractors with a need-to-know, only as necessary to fulfill our services and provided such parties have signed confidentiality agreements containing, or are otherwise bound by, confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in these terms and conditions.

9. Work Limit and Workload
The provision of services by us to you under this Agreement is subject to reasonable hourly limits (“Work Limit”), which shall be calculated based on an hourly rate of three hundred dollars ($300). For purposes of the Work Limit, a discount of fifteen percent (15%) off our hourly rate has been applied to all packages provided by us. The discounted rate shall not be applicable to any additional hours unless explicitly stated. We reserve the right to cease the provision of services once the Work Limit is reached. Any continuation of services beyond the Work Limit is conditional on your prior written approval and will be subject to additional fees. Any hours worked beyond the established Work Limit, upon your approval, will be billed at our then-current hourly rate without any package-based discount applied unless a different rate is agreed upon by both parties in writing. You acknowledge and agree that the Work Limit is an estimate and the actual hours required to provide the services may vary. You agree that we shall not be held liable for any work not completed within the Work Limit.
