Terms and conditions governing your use of PRMWire’s press release writing and distribution and/or distribution only service(s) (collectively, the “Service”):

1. Use

A. You are responsible for the content and accuracy of all news copy and other information submitted by you to PRMWire or entered into the Service (the “Submitted Materials”). You are also responsible for the content and accuracy of all news copy and other information written by our sub contracted writers and approved by you to PRMWire or entered into the Service (the “Submitted Materials”). PRMWire is not responsible for any claims or falsified information made in a press release that we write and submit or simply submit on your behalf. Because of the sheer volume of information that we deal with on a day to day basis we cannot be expected to fact check all the claims made on your website or in your order form. All Submitted Materials (including orders for writing) must follow PRMWire’s editorial guidelines which can be found on PRMWire’s website and are subject to change at any time per PRMWire’s discretion. PRMWire’s writers are not obliged to contact any client over phone at any time as this is not part of PRMWire’s service. All communications are done over email and any requests to have writers contact clients by phone will be denied.

B. PRMWire reserves the right to deny or edit any third party submitted materials provided that substantive edits to the materials will not be done without your (the clients) consent; and (2) to delete any press release from the website, remove it from distribution, or to deny any press release that is submitted. Once any press release has gone live PRMWire can only remove it from their own network and makes no warranty to remove it from any of its third party networks or from sites that are outside the PRMWire consolidated network.

C. PRMWire makes every effort to properly syndicate any and all press releases professionally and accurately. Any mistakes that are clearly the fault of PRMWire will be corrected immediately without any additional charges to the client, and such obligation to amend constitutes the sole liability of PRMWire in this regard. If a press release is not distributed within 15 days of the original order PRMWire will give you your next PR for free. PRMWire guarantees that all press releases will be written within 72 hours of receiving the complete details for said order. Should the writer contact you your response time to any email is added to the 72 hour waiting period.

D. All orders to PRMWire must contain a user-supplied contact name, phone number and e-mail address that may be verified by PRMWire.

E. PRMWire delivers press releases via online distribution channels in order to make said content available to be redistributed. PRMWire is not responsible for who picks up a press release or for how that presses release is used by third parties.

You shall not query, crawl or covertly access any of PRMWire’s systems without the express written consent of PRMWire.

F. PRMWire submits all relevant packages to the Associated Press network for editorial review. However, since they are a 3rd party entity which operates under their own internal protocol, PRMWire can not guarantee distribution there. PRMWire only guarantees that releases from relevant packages will be submitted to the Associated Press network and it will come down to their editors whether or not they choose to publish the story on any of the sites in their network. PRMWire is not responsible for press releases which fail to be published on any sites within the Associated Press network. This goes for all media outlets that PRMWire submits your release to, with each individual site being their own 3rd party entity, making their own editorial decisions.

G. Should a glitch or mistake occur on a website that is not a direct partner of PRMWire, and should that mistake or glitch not be in the original copy that PRMWire distributed to the channel which the copy in question was pulled from, then PRMWire cannot be held responsible for said glitches or mistakes. By purchasing a press release from PRMWire you acknowledge that websites which are not directly affiliated with PRMWire might post your content incorrectly and you acknowledge that PRMWire will not be held responsible for such mistakes.

H. PRMWire is not responsible for how links are displayed on 3rd party websites. If links are stripped or if hyperlinks are removed PRMWire is not responsible as each 3rd party website displays links according to their own internal protocol.

I. PRMWire is not responsible for the lifespan of your release on each 3rd party website. Some will host your release indefinitely, while other may choose to remove “old news” after a certain period of time.

2. Billing

A. All amounts paid are nonrefundable and left to the discretion of PRMWire. PRMWire reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time.

Be it to cover the writing, the distribution, or both. Which will directly depend on what point the order was up to when the refund was requested by the client.
