Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP will endeavor to provide all of its services within the shortest amount of time possible. On some occasions, a trace may take slightly longer than the quoted time. If this occurs, the client is still bound by the terms and as such, our fee is still payable.

Under certain circumstance, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP will offer you the option of having daily surveillance updates. On these occasions, we or our agents may not provide full written reports. We will advise you of this upon receipt of your instructions or as soon as it is operationally possible.

On some occasions, it may not be possible to provide photographic evidence during surveillance. This will mainly be due to close quarter surveillance. However, we will where possible, endeavour to utilise covert body worn equipment in these circumstances. However, this cannot be guaranteed and you will be notified of such as soon as is operationally possible. Should a subject of surveillance be lost at any stage during a surveillance operation, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP shall NOT issue any refunds in part or in full. Note, any additional fees due to extra hours, expenses and mileage incurred remain payable.

A background check and or asset check is not an exact science and as such, we cannot guarantee to be able to provide details relating to every element in the fee quote as provided to the client. Due to the nature of these cases, we do not know the exact level of information that can be obtained until we initiate the case. As such, should every element not be available, we do not offer refunds in part or in full. If a client requests an Enhanced Background Check, they are aware that any additional elements offered are done so on a “gratis” basis and as such, do NOT form part of any agreement between the client and Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP. Furthermore, we use the data supplied by the client when conducting ALL investigations, background checks or otherwise, as such, should the client provide false or wholly inaccurate data from the outset or withhold critical information, we will not be held responsible for the content of any reports provided by us. It is the client’s responsibility to provide accurate information concerning the subject of any investigation. The client should also note that Background Checks are based on available intel and discreet enquiries where possible. If elements are not available, they will not be included in our report.

The timescales quoted for background checks should be taken as a guide only as some cases may require more time. We cannot guarantee to complete a background check in the time quoted but will always do our very best to meet these timescales. Should the client withhold any information they should note that this can affect the accuracy of the report and the details contained therein. Furthermore, should the client provide inaccurate or unverifiable information, we cannot issue a refund of the fee, in full or in part.

In the event that a client considers a trace result to be inaccurate, they MUST provide us with VERIFIABLE evidence to support their claim that the traced address is incorrect.

Should the client incur costs as a result of travel or other in respect of a trace result or other service provided by Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP will NOT reinstate these costs under ANY circumstances.

If, for ANY reason, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP are unable to deliver any service within the quoted or agreed timescales, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred by the client. Furthermore, should the client instruct an alternative agency due to any delays on the part of Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP will NOT be held responsible for ANY additional costs or expenses incurred by the client.

We will not discuss the contents of or release our reports until all fees and disbursements have been paid in full.

Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP do not offer refunds unless agreed at the outset of any investigative work undertaken by Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP.

Once a surveillance case is confirmed as booked by Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP, we have to pre-book and pay the operatives that are assigned to the client’s case, cancellations cannot be accepted under any circumstances. Should a cancellation be received once the assignments has been confirmed or commenced, all outstanding fees and balances will be liable for payment by the client. Should more than one session be booked and all sessions not taken within three weeks of the booking, all outstanding balances will become due for payment immediately.

All traces are based on a “Deceased or Alive” service. Should the traced person be deceased, we will, where possible, provide any evidence of such. On some occasions, evidence is not made available to us, in which case, you will be referred to the relevant Register Office.

If a client withholds and relevant case detail or information when instructing us, which later becomes available. We reserve the right to cancel any and all agreement/s between us and the client. Furthermore, any payments made will not be refunded.

If at any stage after we have been instructed to conduct a trace, the client instructs another agency for the same trace or cancels the trace instruction, as we incur costs as soon as we start a trace, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of £100.00. As we take all person trace cases on a no success, no fee basis and incur costs as soon as we initiate a trace instruction, should a client insist on cancelling a trace once instructed, we reserve the right to charge a fee of £100.00.

All trace fees are payable in advance. Should Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP be unsuccessful in tracing the subject we refund the fee via the same payment method.

Default In Payment

In default of due payment of its invoice, Enigma Investigations Private Detective Agency LLP may in its absolute discretion and irrespective of any other rights maintain an action against the customer for the invoice sum upon which interest shall be payable at the rate of 8% per calendar month or part thereof from the date of the invoice until payment.

We reserve the right to instruct Debt Collectors in the case of a fee being unpaid. ALL costs incurred will be passed onto “The Client.”

Cancellation

In the event of cancellation by the client of any service prior to the service being started, the client shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the company. Payment of these costs becomes due immediately. With the exception of a trace, where a cancellation fee of £100.00 is payable.

If more than one day of surveillance is booked (session), we have to retain an operative. The operative has to be paid so they are available to take your task when called upon to do so. As such, if you wish to cancel at any stage after booking, we cannot refund any of the fees as paid.
