Terms and Conditions
We will provide an initial free
consultation to ensure that the research you wish us to carry out is
feasible and that the likelihood of success has been communicated to
you.
Prior to commencing research, we will ensure that your requirements
have been fully understood and that costs have been agreed.
Birth, marriage, death and parish register searches will be conducted
using original sources. Transcripts will not be relied upon as fact.
We guarantee to commence research immediately upon receipt of full
payment or required deposit depending on the service chosen.
We realise you will be eager to know the results of our research as
soon as possible so we will provide you with regular with regular
progress reports by telephone, e-mail, fax or letter as required.
Although we will endeavour to exhaust all possibilities in the search
for your ancestor(s), it must be recognised that in some cases the
historical sources are inadequate or may have been lost or destroyed,
however all searches must be paid for whether the result is positive or
negative.
Payment in full is required for the 'Bronze Package', 'Hourly and Daily
Rates'
and 'One Off Items' prior to commencement of research. A 50% deposit is
required for the 'Silver Package' and 'Gold Package' with the
balance due on completion of our research.
Additional mileage (over and above that included in Package) will be
charged at cost, however any such journey will be
agreed with the client before it is undertaken. Other travel fees and
hotel fees will also be charged at cost but again, will be agreed with
the client beforehand.
Please note that 'Hourly and Daily Rates' do not include the cost of
certificates or photocopies.
The results of our research will remain the property of 'The Family
Historians' until full payment is received.
Any invoice that remains unpaid more than 30 days after the date of our
final invoice will incur interest at 8% above the Bank of England base
rate prevailing at that time.
Payment can be made by Cash, Cheque, Postal Order or Paypal.
