1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client") and Reliant Process Solutions LLC ("Reliant," "we," "us," or "our"), a Georgia limited liability company operating at reliantprocess.solutions. By placing an order or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
2. Services Provided
Reliant Process Solutions provides professional process serving services in the State of Georgia, including service of summons, complaints, subpoenas, dispossessory warrants, and other legal documents. Pricing is flat-rate by serve type, with optional add-ons:
- Individual — Substitute at Residence ($75/defendant): Substituted service at the defendant's dwelling per O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(e)(7).
- Individual — Personal ($80/defendant): Personal service on a natural-person defendant.
- Individual — At Business Address ($85/defendant): Service on an individual at their usual place of business.
- Corporate — Registered Agent / Officer ($95/defendant): Service on a corporation, LLC, or partnership through its registered agent or officer per O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(e)(1).
- Government Entity ($95/defendant): Service on Georgia state, county, or municipal government entities, including Secretary of State serves where applicable.
- Non-Serve Attempt Report ($65): Documented attempt report with GPS-stamped attempt logs and photographs to support diligent-effort filings.
- Speed defaults to Standard (2–3 business day first attempt, up to 3 attempts). Optional Next-day Rush (+$35) or Same-day Rush (+$75) add-ons accelerate the first-attempt timeline.
- Additional defendants at the same address: +$50 each. The Fulton County surcharge ($25) applies once per order — only when Fulton County is the service county.
3. No Guarantee of Service Completion
Client acknowledges that process service is not guaranteed. Reliant will make a good-faith number of attempts (3 attempts on Standard speed, 5 attempts on Next-day Rush). If service cannot be completed within those attempts, Client receives a detailed attempt report with GPS-stamped photo documentation of all attempts. Some individuals cannot be served despite diligent efforts due to evasion, relocation, or other factors beyond Reliant's control. Reliant's inability to complete service does not constitute a breach of these Terms.
4. Client Responsibilities and Warranties
By placing an order, Client represents and warrants that:
- All information provided (subject name, address, physical description, document details) is accurate and complete to the best of Client's knowledge.
- Client has legal authority to request service of the documents provided.
- The documents to be served are genuine legal documents related to actual legal proceedings.
- Client will promptly provide updated information if the subject's address changes during service.
- Client bears all risk and additional charges associated with inaccurate or incomplete information.
5. Payment Terms
- Payment is due in full at order placement via credit card through Stripe.
- Add-on services (additional attempts, skip traces, new address attempts, rush upgrades, stakeout, court filing) are invoiced within 7 days of service and payable within 7 days of invoice.
- Accounts with unpaid invoices exceeding 30 days may be suspended.
- Returned payments incur a $35 processing fee.
- Volume clients approved for monthly invoicing must pay within 7 days of invoice date.
6. Refund and Cancellation Policy
All fees are non-refundable except as specifically provided:
- Cancellation before any service attempt: Orders cancelled before a server has been dispatched and before any service attempt has been made receive a full refund less a $25 processing fee.
- After a service attempt has been made: No refund is available — for any reason, on any tier, regardless of service outcome. This includes failed attempts, evasive defendants, incorrect addresses, late hits on rush windows, or any other circumstance once a server has begun an attempt.
- Failed service attempts do not entitle Client to a refund — comprehensive GPS-stamped, photo-documented attempt records are provided as the deliverable.
7. Per-Address and Per-Defendant Pricing
The flat serve-type rate covers the primary defendant at a given address. Each additional defendant at the same address is charged a flat $50 regardless of serve type. If Client provides a new address after attempts are exhausted at the original address, the new address constitutes a separate serve order charged at the applicable serve-type rate. Service at distinct addresses requires separate orders per address.
8. Skip Trace Terms
Skip trace services search available public and proprietary data sources. Skip trace does not guarantee location of the subject — results depend on available data. Skip trace fees ($75/person) are non-refundable regardless of whether a current address is located.
9. Add-On Service Terms
- Document Printing: $0.25 per page when Reliant prints and binds documents for service.
- Special Handling: $75 flat for sealed packets, hand-delivery requirements, chain-of-custody requests, or other elevated handling.
- Skip Trace: $75 per defendant. Searches public and proprietary data to locate a current address.
- Court Filing: $45 standard; $75 rush. Reliant files proof of service at the applicable Georgia court following successful service.
- Next-day Rush: +$35 — first attempt next business day; up to 5 attempts; evenings and weekends.
- Same-day Rush: +$75 — server dispatched within 2 hours of order when placed before 2 PM ET.
- Additional defendant at the same address: +$50 flat per additional defendant.
- Fulton County Surcharge: +$25 once per order, only when Fulton County is selected as the service county.
10. Server Performance and Assignment
Reliant assigns process servers based on county, serve type, urgency, and server performance ratings. Same-day Rush and Next-day Rush orders receive a dedicated A-tier server (95%+ success rate). Reliant reserves the right to reassign servers as operationally necessary to maintain service quality standards. Client may not request a specific server by name.
11. Documentation and Delivery
Upon successful service, Reliant delivers an affidavit of service electronically within 24 hours. The affidavit includes GPS coordinates, timestamp, photographs, and process server certification in compliance with Georgia law. For failed serves, a comprehensive attempt report is provided within 48 hours of the final attempt. All documentation is formatted for Georgia court filing requirements.
12. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes regarding service quality, attempt documentation, or billing must be raised in writing within 15 days of service completion or final attempt. Disputes are resolved through review of GPS records, photographs, attempt logs, and server affidavits. Reliant's determination following good-faith review is final for documentation disputes. Billing disputes must be raised within 30 days of invoice. All disputes arising under these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
13. Limitation of Liability
RELIANT'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVE IN QUESTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL RELIANT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MISSED COURT DEADLINES, CASE DISMISSALS, DEFAULT JUDGMENTS, OR ATTORNEY FEES RESULTING FROM SERVICE DELAYS OR FAILURES.
14. Indemnification
Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Reliant Process Solutions LLC, its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from: Client's breach of these Terms; inaccurate or incomplete information provided by Client; Client's use of our services in violation of applicable law; or any claims by third parties related to the underlying legal proceedings for which service was requested.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Venue for any legal proceeding shall be Fulton County, Georgia.
16. Modifications
Reliant reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted at reliantprocess.solutions with a revised effective date. Continued use of services after posting constitutes acceptance of modified Terms.
