The booking deposit of $250.00 is non-refundable and must be paid at the time of booking the examination appointment. This deposit serves to secure the scheduled service and is not refundable under any circumstances, including cancellations, rescheduling, or no-shows.

If the Client needs to reschedule the appointment, they must notify the Examiner at least forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled appointment time.

If the Client cancels the appointment, the $250.00 booking deposit will not be refunded. If the Client fails to arrive within thirty (30) minutes after the appointment time and does not contact the Examiner within that thirty (30) minutes to advise of a delay, the Client will be considered a no-show.

For and in consideration of being polygraphed, the Client agrees to hold harmless the Service Provider, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all cause of actions, claims, liability, or demands whatsoever which are a direct or indirect result from the polygraph examination either known or unknown in present or future, law or in equity.
6. Disclosure of Results
The Client authorizes the Service Provider to disclose the results of and opinions concerning this examination and interview to the relevant parties as agreed upon during the pre-test phase.
7. Terms and Conditions of Service
The Client (the person paying for the polygraph test) and the Examinee (the person taking the polygraph test) voluntarily, without threats, promises of immunity or reward, and without duress, coercion, or force agree to take a polygraph examination (lie detector test). Both Examinee and Client fully realize that the Examinee is not required to take the polygraph examination and that the examinee has the right to consult legal advice or anyone else they wish to, before taking the polygraph examination or signing any forms.
The Examinee and Client hereby voluntarily request and authorize any Examiner conducting the polygraph examination, the Service Provider, and any of its officers, to use both electronic audio and video recording devices during the entire interview, pre-test phase, in-test phase, and post-test phase for quality purposes. These recordings, as well as the results of the polygraph, shall remain the sole property of the Service Provider and will be kept according to American Polygraph Association policy.
The Examiner has the Examinee and Client’s permission and consents to ask questions during the pre-examination interview, on the actual examination, and during any possible post-examination interview as they deem necessary to verify the Examinee’s basic honesty and integrity, medical background, and any other area pertinent to the polygraph examination.
The Examinee voluntarily authorizes the Examiner to conduct a polygraph examination and grants permission to the Examiner to attach the blood pressure cuff, electrodermal activity sensors, pneumographs, and any other sensors needed to conduct the polygraph examination test to or on the Examinee’s body.
The Examinee hereby specifically waives any and all rights of privacy with reference to the taking of the examination and the making known the results and the Examiner’s opinion arising therefrom. The Examinee authorizes the Service Provider, its officers, employees, and any other Examiners to disclose both orally and in writing the results and opinions of the Examiner to the Client.
The polygraph examination test results and Examiner’s opinion may range from the following: No Significant Reactions/No Deception Indicated (The Examinee has told the truth), Significant Reactions/Deception Indicated (The Examinee has not told the entire truth), Inconclusive/No Opinion Formulated (Inconsistent physiological reactions by the Examinee), or Purposeful Non-Cooperation (The Examinee has not fully cooperated 100% during the examination process).
Both the Examinee and Client are expected and required to behave and conduct themselves appropriately and professionally from the beginning of the examination until its end. Any type of threatening or aggressive behaviors, intimidation, shouting or yelling, criminal conduct of any kind, harassment, or any type of behaviors deemed inappropriate, unprofessional, or unlawful, will be grounds for immediate termination of the examination and no refund will be applicable in those circumstances.
The Examinee and/or Client may not agree with part or the entire polygraph examination test results and/or opinions rendered by the Examiner. Knowing this fact, the Client and Examinee acknowledge that any threatening or aggressive behavior, intimidation, shouting or yelling, criminal conduct of any kind, harassment, or any type of behavior deemed inappropriate, unprofessional, or unlawful, may be reported to the Police. A civil lawsuit may be filed against any individual who engages in making slanderous, defamatory, or false statements about any Examiner and/or any Service Provider employee, whether verbally, in writing, and/or online.
The Examinee is expected and required to cooperate fully with the Examiner during the entire polygraph examination process. Intentional manipulations by the Examinee during the actual testing process such as manipulative breathing, burping, sneezing, coughing, facial contortions, swallowing, sniffing, falling asleep, ejecting bodily fluids towards the Examiner’s direction or body, or any excessive or unusual physical body movements or any general lack of cooperation will be grounds for immediate termination of the testing process.
The Examination process begins at the appointment start time in our office or Client’s private address and ends with either the verbal presentation of the polygraph examination test results or via written report sent via email or postal service if additionally requested.
No additional phone consultations or any other services are included in the examination fee following the examination process in our office or the Client’s private address.
