Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Terms and Conditions”) before using this website or any website (the “Sites”) operated by Validential Corp. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) and before ordering and/or purchasing any credential evaluation or document translation services from us (the “Services”). These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who wish to access or use our Sites or order our Services. Your access to and use of the Sites or Services is conditioned upon your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Sites or ordering our Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, then you do not have permission to access the Sites or order our Services from us.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We guarantee you’ll be satisfied with our Services . If you’re not, simply cancel prior to mailing for a full refund (excluding expended rush fees and accepted translations).
100% Acceptance Guarantee
We guarantee your course by course evaluation will be accepted for work, immigration or continuing education purposes. If it’s not, simply email us the reason here and mail your documents back within 90 days of order completion to 3334 East Coast Hwy #315, Corona del Mar, CA 92625. Your evaluation refund request will be processed upon receipt of your returned documents (please note that we do not refund accepted translations, expended rush, mailing, additional copy/s or processing fees).
While our course by course evaluations are widely accepted for licensing purposes, our 100% Acceptance Guarantee does not apply to evaluations used for licensure, nor does it apply to general evaluations. If you require an evaluation for licensure, we recommend you contact the appropriate licensing board prior to ordering in order to confirm that our evaluation will be accepted by that licensing board.
Delivery Times
Standard delivery times to email your Draft order (as defined below) are typically 1-3 days for translation orders and 5 business days for credential evaluation orders. Standard delivery times are not guaranteed and are dependent upon order flow at that time. Rush production times are guaranteed and represent the production time required to email the Draft document/s to you.
If documents provided to us for evaluation are not in English, we will require them to be translated first. Order delivery times are additive based on your order. For example, if you order a 2 Day Rush evaluation and your order also includes translation, then your 2 Day Rush evaluation order begins after your translation has been completed and approved by you.
Standard mailing times are an estimated 5 business days within the US and 8-10 business days to Canada. Rush mailing times represent the guaranteed delivery time to you by your chosen mailing option (e.g. Fedex overnight or 2 Day Express Mail), and are not guaranteed by us. We are not responsible for incorrect or incomplete mailing addresses provided by you, carrier delays, carrier non-delivery or returned mail. Delivery times for rush, overnight shipping or large orders may vary, and will be specified for you prior to payment. ‘2 Day Express Mail’ is an advertised USPS mailing service, and actual mailing times are between 1 and 3 business days, depending on your location. We are not responsible for any variance in actual 2 Day Express Mail shipping times. If you have a deadline, please advise us prior to ordering so that we can recommend options to meet your delivery requirements.
Drafts
We require you to respond to the emailed document draft/s we send to you (“Draft”) prior to finalizing your Services order. We are not responsible for delays due to emails being routed to your spam/junk mail folder, or being stopped altogether by corporate email networks. If you do not respond to our Draft within five business days of being sent (according to our system logs), then you hereby agree that our Services were delivered timely and that you have accepted our Draft ‘as is’. We understand that unforeseen delays occur, and we will gladly make any needed edits to your unmailed Draft within 30 calendar days of emailing the original Draft to you.
Order History
You hereby agree that our system logs reflect the accurate and final history of events related to your order, including, but not limited to, the times and dates we emailed Drafts and mailed documents (if applicable) to you, dates and times of your requests to us for corrections, approval of your Drafts, sending of SMS message notifications, and provision of your mailing address (if applicable). You may view your Order History at any time by clicking on the ‘status’ link contained within the order summary email we send to you after payment receipt and order activation.
Late Changes & Re-mailing
We email your Draft/s to you for the express purpose of your careful review of your documents prior to mailing your order. Changes requested after documents are mailed will be charged at $25 per edited document, and re-mailed orders will be charged at the then-applicable mailing rate. This policy is enforced without exception, so please check your Draft/s carefully prior to approving them for mailing.
Consent to Receive SMS Notifications
Provision of your cell phone number represents your consent to receive SMS notifications from us related to your order status. You can cancel future messages at any time by replying to our text with ‘STOP’. Message and data rates may apply.
Chargeback and Refund Agreement
You agree not to chargeback your credit card for charges we make for our Services until you have first requested a refund from at support@validential.com, and have given us at least three full business days (in the State of California) to process your refund request. You will be emailed once your refund request has been processed. Total discounts applied to your order (if any) will be applied to your refund amount first. If your evaluation order included translations, your refund will be reduced by $25 to account for our standard translation mailing & notary fee. Although refunds usually take about 5 business days to credit back to your account, please allow up to 10 business days.
