PJS & ASSOCIATES Service Agreement: The undersigned agrees to the terms and conditions outlined in the attached page(s)and pricing agreement describing our services along with the following: We work all accounts on a "hold harmless" basis. Therefore, by agreeing to the terms outlined below, you are also stating that you are legally allowed to request this information for yourself or have the proper authorization from a third party. We acknowledge receipt of accounts via either e-mail or fax. Results and/or status will be forwarded to you within thirty days along with an invoice for any charges due for our service. FOR VOLUME PLACEMENTS ONLY: Accounts may be worked on a "rolling basis" (as new ones are coming in, worked ones are being returned). Payment is required up front by certified check or money order. For no hit no charge accounts, we will accept no less than 50% payment up front and the remainder to be paid within 10 days of invoice. We reserve the right to charge a 1.5% per month late charge on accounts payable which are not paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice. If we maintain money on account for no hit no charge searches that were unsuccessful you may bank it for future credit or request a refund to be sent to you within 30 days. You will be notified of negative results, including those that are worked on a no-hit, no-charge basis. Searches designated as "comprehensive" require payment regardless of the results as long as we work the search with a best effort. Please note that in order for us to obtain proper compensation for services performed, person locates are considered to be positive when with due diligence we have verified where the person can be contacted by telephone and process server; and asset locates are considered positive upon the verified existence, nature and location of an asset. The accuracy of the information deteriorates the minute you receive the completed work, and therefore will be considered valid as of the day provided. Should a person change addresses, be terminated for employment or close a bank account after the work is completed and returned to you, you will still be charged for the service. However, you may request we do a follow up locate at no cost for all services except for bank locates. If we are unable to cure the search, you will still be charged. However, we will keep working the case for as long as you would like us to. Verified positive information is always chargeable regardless of whether or not you benefit from that information. However, you are entitled to a future credit when you can document that the information we provided to you was not good as of the date we verified it and returned it to you (the date of locate). You may question the validity of any information by providing legal documentation that shows our information was not valid as of the date of locate (e.g., written notice from a company stating party not employed or from an enforcement officer who receives such information during the process of service or garnishment, process server affidavits stating the home address provided is incorrect, or written statement from a sheriff, marshall, corporate officer, personnel executive or landlord). Should you terminate your relationship with us, we will work remaining accounts based on your credit balance or provide a refund of your credits. Comprehensive searches are the only searches for which we will charge in the event there is no hit. In many cases, the existence of bank accounts can be verified even if we are unable to obtain an account number. However, we will be able to obtain a bank account number and balance in many instances. While we are successful in obtaining account numbers and balances, we do not guarantee that for every positive result. Bank account searches and employment searches require payment up front. Balances are not guaranteed (as they change daily). What is legally required to conduct a search is the subject's name, social security number, and last known or current address. -------------------------------------------------------------------- STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND AUTHORIZATION The undersigned requests PJS & ASSOCIATES to provide investigative trace services, under the terms and conditions outlined below, and in consideration of the mutual benefits, the undersigned and PJS & ASSOCIATES enter into the following agreement: THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES: 1.
