Introduction
Welcome to Scopus Prime. By accessing and utilizing our academic support services, including manuscript editing, submission guidance, and data analysis, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). These Terms outline your rights and obligations while using Scopus Prime’s services. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, we kindly ask you to refrain from using our services.
1. Scope of Services Provided
Scopus Prime offers a range of academic and research support services, including but not limited to manuscript preparation, editing, journal submission guidance, research data analysis, and illustration creation. Each service is provided based on a mutual agreement with the client to ensure clarity and satisfaction. The specifics of each project and its deliverables are discussed and documented in the Service Agreement, which defines the scope, timeline, fees, and expected outcomes.
Our commitment to quality ensures that every project aligns with the requirements of the client and the standards of the target journals, enhancing the potential for publication in high-impact academic outlets. Scopus Prime does not guarantee publication, as final acceptance rests with the journal’s editorial team and reviewers.
2. Getting Started with Scopus Prime
Service Agreement
Before starting any project, we establish a service contract to ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of expectations, timelines, and deliverables. This formal agreement protects both the Client’s investment and the Service Provider’s interests by:
- (a) Client Security: The contract guarantees that the Client will receive the agreed-upon deliverables within the specified timeframe, safeguarding payments and project investments.
- (b) Service Provider Assurance: This agreement also provides security to Scopus Prime, ensuring timely payment for services rendered, protecting resources allocated to the project.
As a registered and licensed company, Scopus Prime will document all agreements and commitments through legal contracts. After signing, we will provide an electronic copy for your records and signature.
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our services. We prioritize the protection of your identity, research assets, and privacy. By signing the service contract, you enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Scopus Prime, ensuring all aspects of our collaboration remain confidential indefinitely, even after the project is completed or terminated. We do not share, sell, or disclose any client information or project details without explicit consent from the client, ensuring full protection of intellectual property and research data.
Refund Policy
We strive for complete client satisfaction and uphold a fair and transparent refund policy. Our service agreement clearly outlines the clauses related to refunds. In the event of service failure or non-delivery, Scopus Prime guarantees a 100% money-back refund, protecting your financial interests. Should we be unable to deliver the promised results within the agreed timeline, any payments made will be reimbursed in full, as stipulated in the service agreement.
Payment Processing
Following mutual agreement on terms, deliverables, and signing of the service contract, the Client is required to make payments to initiate the project.
- Payments may be made via direct bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other secure channels.
- All transactions are processed through verified and secure methods, ensuring financial security.
- Scopus Prime provides receipts and transaction records to the Client for each payment, adding transparency and accountability to the financial process.

Our services are intended solely for academic and professional research purposes. By using Scopus Prime’s services, clients agree to utilize our deliverables ethically and responsibly. Any form of unauthorized or unethical use, including submission of our materials as original work without acknowledgment or any other form of academic misconduct, is strictly prohibited.
Scopus Prime reserves the right to terminate services immediately if evidence of misuse or unethical practices arises, as this compromises our commitment to academic integrity.
