These terms govern your use of Thesis Formatting, a document formatting service operated by Academic Consulting Ltd, New Zealand. By submitting your thesis, you agree to these terms.
Thesis Formatting provides professional document formatting for academic theses and dissertations. We format your document to a submission-ready standard based on your university's requirements and your instructions.
A personalised quote is provided after we analyse your document. The quoted price reflects the complexity of your thesis at the time of submission. Payment is required before work begins. All prices are in New Zealand dollars (NZD).
Once payment is received, we will not charge additional fees unless you request work that falls outside the original scope of the quote.
Advertised turnaround times (48-hour Standard, 5-day Relaxed) apply to typical thesis submissions. For unusually large or complex documents, we may need to contact you before commencing work to agree on a revised timeline. We will always communicate this promptly and will not begin work until you have confirmed you are happy to proceed.
Turnaround times begin once payment is received and we have confirmed we can proceed with your submission.
Your formatted document will be made available for download via a secure link sent to your email address. Download links expire 48 hours after delivery.
Each time we deliver your formatted document, a 48-hour revision period begins. During this period you may request formatting corrections at no additional charge, and we will redeliver the corrected document — which starts a fresh 48-hour window. If a revision window passes with no request from you, the order is considered complete.
Revisions cover formatting corrections to the work we have delivered. Requests made after a revision window has closed, or for new requirements or content that was not part of the original quote, may be treated as new work and incur additional charges. Revisions are limited to formatting — we do not edit the content, wording, or academic substance of your thesis.
You retain full ownership of your thesis at all times. By submitting your files, you grant us a limited licence to format your document as part of providing the service. We will not reproduce, publish, share, or use your thesis content for any other purpose.
Your uploaded files are stored securely and deleted after the revision window closes. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Our liability in connection with the service is limited to the amount paid for that service. We are not liable for any consequences arising from the submission of a formatted document to a university, institution, or any other party. It is your responsibility to review the formatted document before submission.
These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
