REFUND POLICY

By submitting a manuscript and/or making any payment to EAS Publisher, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms set forth in this Refund Policy.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

EAS Publisher operates on an open-access publishing model. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, authors (or their institutions/funders) are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). These charges are used to cover costs associated with:

•        Peer-review coordination and management

•        Professional copyediting and proofreading

•        XML typesetting and formatting

•        Online hosting and digital archiving

•        DOI registration and indexing services

•        Administrative and editorial overhead

Withdrawal Policy

Non-Refundability of Accepted/Published Article Fees

Fees paid for accepted/published articles are non-refundable. Once a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication and payment has been received or invoiced, EAS Publisher will have already committed substantial administrative, editorial, and technical resources to the processing of that article.

This policy is consistent with internationally recognized standards and practices observed by similar scholarly and academic publishers worldwide. The fees are intended to cover and are applied directly toward the administrative and editorial costs incurred from the point of acceptance onward.

Authors who wish to withdraw their manuscript after acceptance and fee payment should understand that:

•        The withdrawal of the manuscript does not automatically entitle the author to a refund.

•      Administrative and editorial work already completed on the manuscript constitutes a valid and reasonable use of the paid fees.

•       EAS Publisher will acknowledge receipt of the withdrawal request in writing but cannot guarantee any refund of charges already processed or published.

Pre-Acceptance Withdrawals

Authors who withdraw their manuscript prior to receiving a formal acceptance decision will not be charged any Article Processing Charge. No payment is due or collected at the submission or peer-review stage. Accordingly, no refund will be necessary in such cases.

Exceptions to the Non-Refund Policy

EAS Publisher recognizes that exceptional circumstances may arise. Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis only in the following limited scenarios:

·       Duplicate Payments

If an author or institution has made more than one payment for the same invoice or article, EAS Publisher will verify the transaction records and, upon confirmation, process a refund of the duplicate amount. The refund will be returned to the original payment method within thirty (30) business days of verification.

·       Administrative Errors

If EAS Publisher has issued an incorrect invoice or charged an amount inconsistent with the published APC schedule due to an internal administrative error, the affected author may request a correction. Upon verification, the over-charged amount will be refunded or credited toward future services.

·       Payment for Rejected Manuscript

In the rare event that a payment is collected prior to a final editorial decision and the manuscript is subsequently rejected, a full refund of the paid APC will be issued, as no editorial acceptance has been made.

·       Verified Technical Failure

If a payment was processed due to a verified technical failure in the payment system that resulted in an unintended charge, the author may submit a formal complaint with supporting evidence. EAS Publisher will investigate and, if confirmed, issue an appropriate refund.

How to Request a Refund

To initiate a refund request, the author or authorized representative must submit a written request to EAS Publisher including the following information:

•        Full name of the corresponding author

•        Manuscript ID or Article Reference Number

•        Full Title of the Article

•        Journal name and issue/volume

•        Date and amount of payment

•        Proof of payment (receipt or bank transfer confirmation)

•        Reason for the refund request

Refund requests should be directed to:

Email: easpublisher@gmail.com

Subject Line: Refund Request – [Manuscript ID] – [Author Name]

All requests will be acknowledged within five (5) business days. A final decision will be communicated within thirty (30) business days of receiving the complete documentation.

Processing of Approved Refunds

Where a refund request is approved, EAS Publisher will process the refund through the original payment channel. Processing times may vary depending on banking institutions, payment gateways, and geographic location, but will generally be completed within:

•        Bank transfers: 7–15 business days

•        Online payment platforms: 5–10 business days

EAS Publisher is not responsible for delays caused by third-party financial institutions or payment service providers. 

Currency and Transaction Costs

All refunds will be issued in the same currency as the original payment. Any bank charges, currency conversion fees, or transaction costs incurred during the refund process will be deducted from the refunded amount unless the error was solely attributable to EAS Publisher.

Amendments to This Policy

EAS Publisher reserves the right to modify, update, or revise this Refund Policy at any time without prior notice. Changes will be effective immediately upon publication on the official EAS Publisher website. Authors are encouraged to review this policy periodically. Continued use of EAS Publisher services following any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
