Payment protection
You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.
- Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
- The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
- Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
- Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
- Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
- Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.
Questions and answers
Some measures are vague, like "a pinch" or "until it looks right". What do you do?
We keep them as written. If you want, we add a usual modern amount in brackets, clearly marked as our suggestion.
Can you translate grandma's recipes too?
This service types them in the original language. Ask in the brief, and we can quote a translation as a separate order.
Will you design a printed cookbook?
No, you get clean text ready to drop into a photo book or layout tool.
