The Client is the person initiating services on behalf of an inmate (i.e., beneficiary or acting agent). All payments are payable by The Client.

1. **Non-Refundable Fees:**

All appointment fees, copy fees, courier fees, witness fees, filing fees, processing fees, notarial act fees, and travel fees are NONREFUNDABLE.

A fee paid for one document cannot be transferred or applied to another document. For example, if you pay for a Notarial Act and then change your mind to notarize a different document, the notarial fee for the first document cannot be transferred or applied to the different document.

Due to the unpredictable circumstances of inmate visitations, the appointment fee will not be refunded once the terms and conditions are agreed to. The appointment fee must be paid upfront prior to the start of services.

3. **Final Balance Payment:**

The final balance of the signing cost is due after documents have been confirmed signed via text pictures to The Client.  No documents will be released until full payment is received, no exceptions.

4. **Payment Methods:**

Payments can be made electronically via credit card, Zelle, PayPal, CashApp, Venmo, and/or payment links. See invoice for all electronic payment links.

Cash is also accepted; however, no personal checks or money orders are accepted, business(from partners) and cashier checks are accepted.

5. **Rescheduling and Additional Fees:**

If an inmate visit is denied by the Department of Justice (local, state, and/or federal) agencies, there will be a one-time rescheduled appointment at no additional cost to The Client.

If the inmate refuses to sign at the appointment and/or the appointment is canceled due to negligence on the part of the inmate or The Client, an additional appointment fee will be assessed to the cost.

Process and Expectations:

Please note that this process can take all day due to the rules and regulations of the facility, which The Company and the inmate are subject to. The Company will do all within its power to complete the signing; however, we cannot promise that the process will be expedited or completed on the initial day of the appointment.
