Age Restrictions

You must be over the age of twenty-one (21) to order any of our services. This policy is designed to protect the public and allow us to create a proper employment and education background timeline that matches a person's age.

Applicable Law

You must comply will all federal and state local laws applicable to the solutions we provide you.

 

Prohibited Use

We will not acknowledge or confirm any request for verification of your references or credentials if such action may violate this Agreement, applicable law, or expose Us or others to potential physical or economic injury or resemble possible criminal activity.

How our Service Works and Things to Know

Generally. We provide fabricated (always fictional), but fully verifiable and credible employment, personal, professional, landlord references in addition to academic credentials such as diplomas, degrees, and certificates. Other services we offer outside of our career packages upon request are legal name changes, credit enhancement, and customized solutions to fit one's unique background needs.

 

Review of Orders

In conjunction with your order and payment for the background enhancement solutions you purchase, we conduct a mandatory due diligence investigation to confirm your identity and the legitimacy of your payment for risk management and internal fraud prevention purposes. Should our routine due diligence inquiry yield any flags, suitability concerns, or in our sole judgment believe that the services you ordered could result in a serious risk to the public we reserve the right to cancel your order and return payment. We also reserve the right to refuse service on a case-by-case basis. We also may require you to provide a copy of your government-issued identification and credit/debit card for fraud prevention.

Fulfillment of Order

Once we have reviewed your order, it will be automatically placed in the fulfillment queue, and if you are a new client, you will be assigned to a dedicated representative that is responsible for your success. Usually, all orders submitted during the Monday through Friday before 1:00 PM MST week will be fulfilled within 48 hours. Order submitted during the weekend may take up to 72 hours to fulfill. Typically, you will be contacted via telephone before your order is fulfilled to confirm the details of your order.

Refunds

We have a no refund policy. This means after you submit payment, there will be no refunds issued even if you desire to cancel your unfulfilled order. Should we cancel your order during our review of your order, you will be automatically issued a payment refund reversal. We currently do not offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee due to previous abuse of our money-back guarantee policy. You agree and understand before making payment to our service that we have a no refund policy, and no exceptions will be made to this policy. We will not be held liable if we are unable to fulfill our obligation for any reason, including but not limited to communications failure of our phone, email, websites, or other infrastructure affecting our ability to operate our service.

Material Representations and Warranties

Pursuely makes no warranties or representations of any kind for the services being offered. You agree not to hold us responsible for any loss you suffer because of using our services, including but not limited to service delays and incomplete or interrupted service, regardless of cause.

Period of Verification

You understand that your Career Package includes a six (6) month period of verification from the date your order is fulfilled. This is the initial maximum period that we are obligated to service and confirm the references and credentials we provided you. This period of verification will be extended indefinitely in 1-year periods automatically within 90 days of ending and upon additional payment of $99.00 (USD) per year. It is your responsibility to notify us before the initial period of verification expires if you do not want to be charged the $99.00

No Employment Guarantee

You understand that our service is in no way a guarantee of obtaining employment or other life success. We are simply a means of assistance in enhancing a person's background to make them employable and competitive in the workplace and elsewhere.

Risk of Using our Services

You agree and understand that you are taking the risk that an employer, landlord, or other parties might discover that you have fabricated your background references and/or credentials that we provide you to no fault of our own, either by underperforming, lacking material knowledge for that career, or other acts. Thus, you agree not to hold us responsible, and if anyone contacts us regarding this, we may refuse to confirm you subscribed to any of our background enhancement solutions and will not provide any information incriminating ourselves, although we are not guaranteeing that. There are no refunds if you are discovered using the fabricated information, we provide you, as this is no fault of our service.

Recording of Telephone Conversations

You agree when contacting us by telephone that your call between you and us may be recorded and maintained for quality assurance. You will be notified at the commencement of your call via pre-recorded announcement as to whether your call is subject to recording. If you do not consent to telephonic audio recording, then you must use another method of communication such as email or fax to contact us. At no time may you record a telephone conversation between us on your own accord.

Terminate at will

You understand and agree that we may cancel our agreement with you at will, at any time for any or no reason. We are not required to give you a reason as to our termination between our company and said user of our service. In the event, we terminate our relationship with you, all references and credentials we previously issued and provided to you will be revoked and void. No refunds will be issued in this event.

Payment Disputes and Chargebacks

You agree and understand that your purchase will appear on your credit/debit card as "Pursuely Co." or "Pursuely". You agree not to file a credit card or debit card dispute which results in a chargeback to our account concerning any purchase or payment you made to us and hereby waive all dispute rights afforded to you by your card issuing bank or network.

 

If you breach this agreement and file a chargeback, upon a resolution in our favor of the chargeback by either the card-issuing bank, the payment card processor, or by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express, you agree to reimburse us for any cost incurred in researching and responding to such chargeback, including without limitation our actual cost paid to the credit card processor or our banks, other third parties, and the reasonable value of the time we spent on the matter, as determined in our discretion in good faith. You further agree that all dispute resolution rights will be deemed waived by you, and these amounts will be added to the original amount of your original purchase and that this total amount will then be immediately due and payable. If your chargeback is upheld, you agree to pay all of the same costs, in addition to the original purchase price. If a chargeback is placed or threatened on a purchase, we also reserve the right to report the incident for inclusion in the chargeback abuser’s database(s) of our choosing and our sole discretion. The information reported will include your name, full address, IP address, device name(s), phone number, order date, order amount, and credit card number. Being listed on such databases may make it difficult or even impossible for you to use (any of) your credit/debit card(s) on future purchases with us or other online merchants who subscribe to such a "friendly fraud" chargeback database(s). Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database(s) we reported to shall make a payment to us for any outstanding amount owed to us, plus $100.00 (USD) for processing and handling by wire transfer or other means we may require. This policy was implemented to prevent and manage "friendly fraud" chargebacks. Friendly fraud chargebacks occur when the actual cardholder pays for our services with the intent to immediately dispute the transaction with the credit or debit card issuer to obtain a fraudulent refund or credit for the transaction.

Academic Diplomas, Degrees, and Certificates

You understand that the academic credentials (e.g., diplomas, degrees, certificates, etc) we provide you with are from businesses we created, own, manage, and control. These businesses operate as virtual institutions and are not staffed on-site, or have actual brick and mortar physical campuses. All of our academic institutions are registered entities (non-profit or for-profit corporations) in the U.S. state they are headquartered in, formed more than thirty (20) years ago, are in good standing status with the Secretary of State's office, all of which can be verified online on the relevant state government website. We undertake great effort to project to the public that these academic institutions are real, established, and accredited schools, colleges, universities, or institutes when they are researched and contacted. These institutions have a world-class appearance and resemble most other traditional academic institutions in the United States. Additionally, all of our academic institutions have fully functional enterprise-class websites with impressive logos, listed in 411 directory assistance databases, have great visibility online when researched using any search engine, have local telephone and fax numbers, fully automated phone systems with interactive voice response (IVR) menu prompt and professionally recorded voice over greetings. All our academic institutions answer incoming calls and respond to email inquiries during their "campus operating hours". You will be assigned to one of our more than twenty (20) academic institutions in our current portfolio that are used for academic credentials during the fulfillment process of the order. For confidentiality and the privacy of our academic institutions, we will not disclose to you before order fulfillment the name of any academic institution we use, nor may you select the name of the academic institution from a menu of choices. You understand and agree that the education credentials we provide as part of our service, including but not limited to diplomas, degrees, and certificates, do not satisfy or lead to the satisfaction of any local, state, or federal secondary or postsecondary education requirements. Our education credentials are not granted by a regionally accredited educational institution recognized by the US Department of Education and do not afford you transferable credit hours or units. Our education credentials do not give you the right to represent yourself as a graduate of a traditional regionally accredited college, university, academy, or institute, or the holder of an accredited degree. If you do, it is at your own risk.

All our academic institutions claim accreditation by a private non-profit accrediting organization. However, this accrediting agency is managed and operated by us to enhance the success of our education credentials when used by you. The accrediting agency is also a registered non-profit organization in the state; it is headquartered and has all the same online presence and other same features as our academic institutions to enhance its credibility when contacted or researched. Under normal circumstances, our academic credentials accomplish their objective that is to assist in the pursuit of your new career, provided you do not attempt to use an academic degree in connection with any official local or federal government job as such jobs normally require a degree which was granted by an academic institution that is recognized by the US Department of Education as being regionally accredited.​
