Our Services & Client Cooperation
Encyclohub provides expert consulting and execution services to help you navigate Wikipedia's ecosystem. You understand and agree that:
- Wikipedia's Independence: We are an independent service provider and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation. All final content decisions are made by Wikipedia's volunteer editors and administrators.

Paid Editing Disclosure
In strict compliance with Wikipedia's terms of use, we fully disclose all paid editing activities. This includes adding the necessary paid editor disclosure notices to our editors' user pages and the talk pages of any articles we edit. This transparency is non-negotiable and a core part of our ethical service delivery.
Refund Policy
Due to the extensive research, consulting, and creative effort involved in our work, we have a strict refund policy designed to be fair to both parties.
