Terms of Purchase

After you make a purchase on a Website, you will gain access to our Member’s area, a one stop source for all your information needs. The Member’s area combines the power of over 30 different searches, tools, and resources to help you in your investigation process. Our Member’s area is conveniently divided into two types of searches, Direct and Unlimited (as more fully described below). Your “Report and Membership Access” fee will grant you access to our Member’s area and also it will be your Direct search balance. You can use these funds to execute various Direct searches. Please note that your credit card or your Paypal account is not charged each time you conduct Direct searches. The cost per each Direct search will be deducted from your Direct search balance. Should you run out of funds, you may purchase additional searches in our Member’s area. After the expenditure of your funds, your subsequent use of our products and services will be subject to our then-current rates. You can also purchase an “Unlimited Search Pass” for an additional fee which will grant you access to our “Unlimited” section of the Member’s area. Searches included with the Unlimited Search Pass will vary depending on the Website on which you originally signed up.

Direct searches may include: Bankruptcy Records search, Birth Records search, Business Records search, Comprehensive Background search, Court Records Search, Criminal Records search, Death Index search, Email search, Federal Records search, Legal/Civil Judgments search, Marriage/Divorce search, People Search, Person Report, Property Records, Relatives search, Reverse Cell Phone search, Reverse Landline Phone search, Reverse IP search, Sex Offender Search, SSN Validation search, SSN Records search, Vessel/Watercraft Records search, and Warrant search.

Unlimited reports may include: Address history, age, date of birth, marital status, phone number(s), possible relatives and associates, property records, business searches, neighborhood checks, reverse IP search, people searches by name, phone and address.

You agree and acknowledge that except as otherwise indicated, you will be charged for any Direct or Unlimited search, regardless of whether your search yields any reports or records, and regardless of whether any such report or record contains incorrect information or no information at all.
