Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our help center. To make our collaboration as transparent and efficient as possible, we have compiled the most important questions regarding our editorial services, our workflows, and the legal foundations of our work. If you have a specific question that is not answered here, you can reach us at any time via our contact page.

Our editorial work is based on clear structures and binding rules. From the initial inquiry and briefing to the final approval, we follow a standardized process to ensure the quality of our texts in the fields of technology, industry, and culture. Please note that all conditions mentioned in these answers are legally supplemented by our Terms and Conditions.

Ordering and Briefing

How do I start an order with Basongoelyx?

The process begins with a non-binding inquiry via our contact form. We discuss your goals, the desired scope, and the target audience. After alignment, we create a formal quote. Once you accept this, we send you a briefing checklist. We only begin research and writing after receiving a complete briefing and the agreed deposit.

What should be included in a good briefing?

An effective briefing includes the topic, core messages, desired tone of voice (e.g., factual-professional or narrative), the target audience, and any sources or internal documents. For detailed information, please visit our guide: How to Write a Content Brief.

Can you write texts on any topic?

We specialize in the fields of Technology, Industry, and Culture. To guarantee high quality, we consistently decline assignments in the areas of medicine, finance, investments, political campaigning, and academic papers for students. We also do not write fake customer reviews or testimonials.

How do you handle interviews with my employees?

We prepare a detailed list of questions that you can review in advance. The interview takes place either in person in Linz or digitally. After the conversation, we create a draft that the interviewed person must approve for a fact-check before the text is finalized.

Deadlines and Delivery

How long does it take to receive my text?

Our average delivery time is 5 days. The binding delivery period for standard projects is a maximum of 7 days from the moment we have received all necessary information and the deposit.

Do you offer express delivery?

Yes, we can prioritize projects if faster delivery is required. In this case, an express fee of 50% is added to the original price. Please inquire about the availability of urgent deadlines directly with us.

What happens if there is a delay in providing information?

The delivery period only begins upon receipt of all documents requested in the briefing. If information is missing during the process, the delivery date will shift accordingly to the delay.

In what format are the texts delivered?

We deliver our texts as DOCX files or via Google Docs by default. Additionally, you will receive a version with tracked changes if revision rounds have taken place, as well as the corresponding metadata (title and description) for web publication.

Revisions and Changes

How many revision rounds are included in the price?

Each of our standard packages includes 2 rounds of revisions. This refers to the reworking of text passages that do not align with the original briefing or require content clarification.

What happens if I want more than two revision rounds?

Additional changes beyond the two included rounds are billed at an hourly rate for editing and proofreading. We recommend a precise briefing to avoid additional costs.

Can I change the topic in the middle of the writing process?

A fundamental change of the topic after work has begun is considered a new order. In this case, the work already performed will be billed based on the original effort, and a new quote for the new text will be created.

How is the final acceptance of the text handled?

After delivery of the draft, you have the opportunity to provide feedback. Final acceptance is carried out in writing via email. Upon acceptance, the text is considered complete and the final invoice becomes due.

Payment Terms and Legal

How much is the deposit for a project?

To ensure planning security for our authors, we require a deposit of 30% of the estimated total amount before work begins.

What payment terms apply to B2B customers?

For business customers (B2B), a payment term of 14 days after invoicing applies. Details can also be found in our Terms and Conditions.

Who owns the rights to the finished texts?

The exclusive usage rights to the texts are transferred to the customer only after full payment of the invoice amount. Until then, the copyrights remain with the respective authors of Basongoelyx.

How do you handle my data?

We treat all customer information with strict confidentiality. The processing of your personal data is carried out in accordance with the GDPR. Detailed information can be found in our Privacy Policy.

How long do you store my drafts?

We archive all project drafts and correction versions for a period of 12 months after the completion of the project to help you with any potential later adjustments.

We hope that these answers help you gain a better overview of our way of working. Please keep in mind that all our services are offered including the statutory VAT of 20%, unless otherwise agreed. Price details can be found in our overview under Services.
