By providing payment authorization, You and your Firm/Company understand and agree to the following California Private Investigators payment terms, conditions, our privacy policy, and our terms and conditions posted on the web site.
1) You are authorizing automatic payments to California Private Investigators by charging this credit card, debit card, or ACH transaction for current, past due, and/or future costs as charged and invoiced by California Private Investigators for support services: court services (including eFilings), process service, private investigator services, deposition officer duty, subpoena preparation, on-site/off-site records production, on-site/off-site photocopying, digital scanning or imaging, and messenger services.
2) For credit card or debit card authorizations, you are authorizing a $0.00 pre-authorization to be approved to your credit or debit card. Pre-authorization is not a charge, but a temporary hold, and will disappear based on your financial institution's policy; California Private Investigators does not control when hold will be released. If credit card or debit card pre-authorization is not approved, delays in opening your California Private Investigators account will occur and you will be notified by our New Accounts Department, during normal business hours, 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday thru Friday.
3) Invoice totals will be charged weekly and automatically to the provided credit card, debit card, or ACH transaction. Our Weekly invoice will detail the amounts charged to card or ACH transaction and be sent by email to the responsible party.
