5. Private Investigation Process
5.1. Private Investigation Mandate
Once the Client fills and signs the Private Investigation Mandate, the Company will conduct operational search activities in regard to the individual or legal entity indicated by the Client. The operational search activities may include a background check, physical surveillance, undercover investigation, and/or other investigation techniques based on the client’s requirements, budget, the circumstances of the case, confidentiality, safety, and other aspects.
If the Client is an individual, the Private Investigation Mandate must be filled and signed by the Client only. If the Client is a legal entity (such as a business), the Private Investigation Mandate must be filled and signed by the authorized representative (such as a Company president or CEO).
A Private Investigation Mandate, as well as the information associated with the private investigation is confidential. A Private Investigation Mandate will be securely transmitted and stored in our database following our confidentiality standards.
5.2. Acceptance of Terms and Policies
By signing the Private Investigation Mandate, the Client accepts the Company’s Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Refund Policy and agrees to be bound by these terms and policies in full.
5.3 Payments and Charges
The investigation process will begin as soon as the Client submits a duly filled and signed Private Investigation Mandate and makes the full or partial payment based on the quote received from the Company.
If the Client does not make the due payment (in case of installments) within 48 hours, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate its Services.
If the Company provides the Client with a piece of hardware and at the end of the investigation or upon the Company’s request the Client does not return the hardware provided by the Company for any reason, or if the hardware appears to be damaged upon return, the Client will be charged an additional fee of CAD 225 as well as applicable sales taxes.
5.4. Communication
For confidentiality reasons, the Client must only contact the Company using the email address and/or phone number entered by the Client in their Private Investigation Mandate. If the Client prefers to contact the Company using another email address or phone number, or if the Client officially delegates the communication with the Company to any third party, the Client must notify the Company by email in advance.
The Company will make all reasonable efforts to reply to all Client requests (including but not limited to email, phone, SMS, and WhatsApp) within two business days. We encourage the Client to check their Spam folder frequently and/or to add our support email address to their safe/white email list.
If you need to correspond with us, please respond within the same email thread (typically by replying to our Service Status email ). If you email outside the original email thread, it could cause delays.
5.5. Private Investigation Suspension and/or Termination
If the Client explicitly violates the guidelines of the investigator in charge of the Client’s private investigation case, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Service.
If during the Service, the Company encounters legal, technical, safety, privacy, or other major risks or limitations that prevent the Company from completing the Service, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Service. In this case, a Client can request a partial refund, provided the request complies with our refund terms. Please refer to the Refund Terms (https://investigator911.ca/en/refund-policy) for more information.
If the Client has provided the Company with knowingly false information about themselves, about the POI (the person of interest), or about the nature of their relationship with the POI, or has concealed significant details regarding the nature of the above-mentioned relationship (for example, the fact of a restraining order), the Company waives its obligation of confidentiality. Please refer to the “Legal Disclosure” section of our Privacy Policy (https://investigator911.ca/en/privacy-policy) for more details. The Company also reserves the right to suspend or cancel any investigation associated with providing false information or concealing significant details without a refund. Please refer to our Refund Policy (https://investigator911.ca/en/refund-policy) for more details.
At all times, the Client agrees to communicate with the Company staff politely and courteously. If the Client or their representative violates this principle, the Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Service.
5.6. Private Investigation Timeframe
The service timeframe varies depending on the Service package, case complexity, the accuracy of the information provided by the Client, investigation progress, and other factors.
5.7. Legal Boundaries
By signing the Private Investigation Mandate, the Client acknowledges that they will not use any of the information provided by the Company to the Client in an unlawful manner. The Client also acknowledges that they will not commit or assist others in committing any illegal acts using or based on the information provided by the Company to the Client.
At all times, the Company will act in accordance with Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal laws and regulations. Upon accepting the current Private Investigation Mandate, the Company will make all reasonable efforts to comply with the Client’s requirements by providing the most accurate and comprehensive results within the designated time frame.
5.8. Surveillance Duration and Allocation of Investigative Hours
All surveillance packages offered by the Company include a maximum allocation of investigative hours and calendar duration, as specified in the relevant service description. These parameters collectively define the upper limit of services to be provided under each package and shall not be construed as guarantees of time, hours, or investigative outcomes.
The actual duration and intensity of surveillance performed may vary depending on the circumstances of each case, including but not limited to logistical limitations, subject activity levels, and strategic considerations. In certain cases, investigative objectives may be achieved using fewer hours and/or fewer days than allocated. In other cases, the full time period may elapse with only partial use of the stated maximum hours.
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion:
- To conclude an investigation early if the objectives have been met;
- To extend the investigation beyond the stated number of hours, without additional cost to the Client;
- Or to terminate the investigation upon the expiration of the time period stated in the package, regardless of whether the maximum hours have been used, and regardless of whether the objectives have been fully achieved.
By purchasing a surveillance package, the Client acknowledges and agrees that:
- The hours and timeframes indicated in each package represent maximum thresholds, not minimums or entitlements;
- No refund, credit, or additional services shall be provided for unused hours where the investigation concludes early or where the time limit is reached;
- Investigative outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and no package shall be interpreted as a promise of specific results.
This framework ensures that all services remain outcome-focused, bounded in scope, and appropriately adapted to the realities of investigative work.
5.9. Private Investigation Outcome and Liability
The Client acknowledges that there can be no guarantee of the outcome of their case or about issues that may be decided by the Court prior to a final ruling. Statements made regarding the likely outcome or the range of possible outcomes are only opinions and are not to be understood or interpreted as guarantees of results.
The Company cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage (physical or moral) suffered by the Client, their representatives, employees, subcontractors, and/or any third party. Likewise, the Company cannot guarantee the quality and integrity of its services in the event of Force Majeure circumstances.
The Client agrees to hold the Company and its agents, owners, partners, and representatives harmless from and against any claims and damages, expenses, or liability that may arise from or in connection with the Company’s Services.
5.10. Case Planning and Execution
The company plans each case independently, based on its professional experience and the client’s requirements, budget, case circumstances, confidentiality, safety, and other relevant aspects. The company does not tolerate micromanagement in any form.
5.11. Work Hours Allocation Disclaimer
The number of work hours specified in our investigative service packages represents a total allocation of professional time dedicated to the client’s case. These hours are not limited to field surveillance alone. Depending on the nature and requirements of the investigation, they may include a combination of, but are not limited to, the following activities: surveillance, transportation, case analysis, operational planning and setup, background research, customer support, report drafting and editing, undercover operations, inquiries and interviews, internal team briefings, file management, equipment setup and calibration, and other relevant professional services necessary for the effective execution of the investigation.
5.12. Official Reports
The Company provides the final Private Investigation report to the Client at the end of the investigation process. The Company may also provide intermediate reports during the investigation process at its discretion only. The Company does not guarantee any intermediate reports based on the Client’s request. Any intermediate reports are provided if the Company believes they are necessary.
If the Client receives any refund (based on our Refund Policy), the Company is under no obligation to provide the Client with the official report or share any Service results.
5.13. Confidentiality
The Company has strict regulations in place to keep the Client’s information safe and confidential. Please refer to our privacy policy for more details. https://investigator911.ca/en/privacy-policy. The Client agrees to make all reasonable efforts to keep the information associated with their investigation case secure and confidential. Making the details of the Service public (e.g. publishing a Google Review or discussing the Service on a social networking site) may be considered “a breach of confidentiality” and may lead to the Service suspension or termination (including the post-report phase, such as testifying in court).
5.14. Court Testimony
The Investigator’s appearance or testimony in court is subject to availability and at the sole discretion of the Company, unless otherwise required by law or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. All requests for testimony must be submitted in writing at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the scheduled court date.
6. Post-Report Feedback and Resolution Timeframe
The Company is committed to maintaining a high standard of client satisfaction. It will reasonably consider any concerns or complaints related to a final report, provided such concerns are raised within three (3) months from the date the report is sent to the Client, irrespective of whether the Client acknowledges receipt. During this period, the Client may seek clarifications, raise specific concerns, or request limited additional work or a partial refund, which the Company may address on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion, in accordance with its refund policy.
Any feedback, complaints, or requests submitted after the expiration of these three months shall not be accepted or reviewed. Beyond this timeframe, the Company shall have no further obligation to respond to or act upon such matters. This policy ensures the timely resolution of cases while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the investigative process.
