CANCELLATION OF SERVICES & REFUNDS
Please see the FAQ or policy page on the individual site for detailed information.
1. Services are generally can NOT be cancelled if we have starting working on the order. Please contact us before filing a PayPal complaint or doing a chargeback through your credit card company. Obviously, if you have some legitimate reason to cancel an order we will be happy to resolve the matter.
2. Some services are complicated and time consuming. For instance, reference checks on Your-References are typically completed within 3 days and a written report is emailed to you. However, 3 days is not guaranteed and we are not responsible for delays. There are times when it is difficult reaching the proper people. We will wait and call back. People in HR are often busy in meetings or away from their desk. Sometimes people are out sick, on leave, or on vacation. Our policy is not to be a pest. We can only call so many times before we have to leave a message. We do not like leaving messages as we prefer to talk to people without warning or preparation as we get much more candid and complete information that way. If we leave a message that is very general, we seldom get a call back. If we provide a specific message, we might get a callback, but the person is forewarned and generally is not as forthcoming. If the employer doesn't like the employee they are generally not very forthcoming, though some provide all sorts of info, or at least enough to really know how they will respond to other reference calls. Realisticallynplease allow two weeks for this service.
3. Some employers however provide name, rank and serial number as a matter of policy. Sometimes we can get around that by talking with supervisors. There is no guarantee either how long it takes or how much information we will be able to obtain. Please allow up to two weeks for the entire process to run its course.
4. In rare situations the company will not talk to us or provide any information. Sometimes the company is no longer in business. We are not responsible for the response of third parties and as we have done what we can, refunds will generally not be given. If you are completedly unsatisfied, please contact us for a resolution of your dispute.
5. If we are unable to complete any reference check within two weeks, you will have the option of receiving a refund for that particular reference check or allowing us to continue to try. If you order multiple reference checks and we are unable to complete them all, your refund will be prorated on a percentage basis to the check(s) we were unable to complete.
6. There are companies, often is specific industries, that require a signed release for them to give us any information. These forms are available in the Client area of the site for download. Do NOT provide us with the form unless we request it. If you do not want to complete the form for a particular employment check, we do not provide a refund.
7. Please note that PayPal's dispute policy is for goods that are shipped to a customer. The policy does not apply to services. We will grant legitimate refund requests.
8. Refunds, when approved, may be granted immediately, or the refund can take up to 10 business days to process depending upon the nature of the refund and other business factors.
