Hourly price varies. Check with your consultant
All fees are arranged up front. Some clients work in phases and pay in installments. Others pre-arrange with the consultant to submit a retainer at the start of their project. It is important that you represent the scope of your project as accurately as possible. Your consultant will provide you with a work agreement that outlines the scope of work, limitations, and payment arrangement.
Your consultant may give you a per-word, per page, or hourly rate. If hourly, the consultants generally bill in increments (e.g., 5 hours @ $__ per hour). All work is prepaid in U.S. dollars via money order, cashier's check, western union, moneygram, or direct deposit into a bank account. Some (but not all) of the advisors take Paypal. Currency conversion fees, if any, are paid by the student.
Disclaimers:
Your agreement, whether oral or written, is with your consultant, not with the network as a whole or its coordinator.
There is no business entity. This is a network of freelance consultants (part-time or retired faculty) who work as online thesis and dissertation advisors.
It is the client's responsibility to review all work completed to ensure accuracy and adherence to graduate school specifications.
