    By accessing or using the services provided by 1DocRetrieval ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and 1DocRetrieval.

    • Court record retrieval from federal and state courts
    • Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates)
    • Corporate documents and filings
    • Educational records and transcripts
    • Medical records (HIPAA compliant)
    • DMV and vehicle records
    • Real estate and property records
    • International document services including apostille

    User Responsibilities

    When using our services, you agree to:

    • Provide accurate and complete information for document requests
    • Have proper authorization to request the documents
    • Use retrieved documents only for lawful purposes
    • Pay all applicable fees in a timely manner
    • Not misrepresent your identity or authority to obtain documents

    Pricing and Payment

    Service Fees: Pricing varies based on document type, jurisdiction, and turnaround time. A quote will be provided before work begins.

    Government Fees: Additional fees charged by government agencies, courts, or other entities are passed through to the client at cost.

    Payment Terms: Payment is required before document retrieval begins unless other arrangements have been made for established accounts.

    Additional Charges: Rush services, copy costs, mailing, and other special requests may incur additional fees.

    Turnaround Times

    Estimated turnaround times are provided as good-faith estimates based on typical processing. Actual delivery times may vary due to factors beyond our control, including government agency processing times, court schedules, mail delivery, and document availability. We are not responsible for delays caused by third parties or circumstances beyond our control.

    Refund Policy

    Service Fee Refunds: If we are unable to retrieve the requested document after reasonable effort, our service fee will be refunded in full.

    Government Fees: Fees paid to government agencies are generally non-refundable once submitted, as these are determined by the issuing agency's policies.

    Cancellations: Orders may be cancelled before work begins for a full refund. Once work has commenced, refunds will be prorated based on work completed.

    Limitation of Liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by law:

    • Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service in question
    • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages
    • We are not responsible for the accuracy or authenticity of documents issued by third parties
    • We do not guarantee that any document can be retrieved, as availability depends on the issuing agency

    Confidentiality

    We maintain strict confidentiality regarding all client information and documents. Information is only shared as necessary to complete requested services, with your consent, or as required by law. Our confidentiality practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy.

    Intellectual Property

    All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of 1DocRetrieval or its licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

    Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 1DocRetrieval, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of our services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

    Dispute Resolution

    Any disputes arising from these Terms or our services shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If resolution cannot be reached, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in New York, and the decision shall be final and binding.

    Governing Law

    These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in New York for any legal proceedings.

    Modifications to Terms

    We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

    Severability

    If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
