BACKGROUND CHECKS & DUE DILIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS

PROVIDING YOU WITH IN-DEPTH DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES

Due diligence is an investigation to target risks from a legal perspective and is critical in the following scenarios:

  • Parties in civil or criminal litigations.
  • A business transaction with an unknown company or individual.
  • Pre-employment screening.
  • The millions of Americans using dating sites, social networking sites, and chat rooms to meet people.

PROFESSIONAL Licensed Investigators

Our searches are conducted and reviewed by professional licensed investigators (former FBI special agents). We collect data from multiple sources. In contrast, background-check websites use a single automated database i.e. no investigators review and analyze the results.  

SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND

Through Delta 7 Group’s background services, clients have learned negative information about their online dates (i.e. marital status, age, criminal background, prior evictions, questionable past, etc.). It is often the totality of the information we collect that depicts who an individual truly is. Of course, we should not judge an individual by his/her past but, due diligence is essential for your safety and peace of mind.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

As former FBI special agents and licensed California private investigators (CA PI License # 188424), we have the experience and knowledge to conduct in-depth background checks.

Due diligence is an essential part of any business. Judging from the news reports, fraud seems to be everywhere. Fraud is at an all-time high (estimated at USD $42Bn in 2019). The threat of fraud is current and growing. Due diligence is a cost-effective tool to mitigate the treat of fraud. “TRUST BUT VERIFY” is a sound approach in a business transaction. Confirming someone’s trustworthiness or veracity is a must. A background investigation is a small investment that could protect you and your company from losses and legal expenses.

Due diligence is an effective tool to assess the credibility of a party in a civil or criminal litigation. “TRUST BUT VERIFY”. A deceiving party could have a dire impact on a litigation. A background check is a small investment that could protect your firm’s reputation and your clients.

TRUST, BUT VERIFY. It is acceptable to trust someone if their trustworthiness or veracity is confirmed.

Millions of Americans use dating sites, social networking sites, and chat rooms to meet people. There are many success stories, but through discussions with friends and in our own experience, we learned that MANY people are not who they claim to be. Eventually, the deceit is uncovered but it is often after several dates or a few months. This act is all too common, and the intent is often criminal.

There are many online background check websites. The sites typically use a single automated search engine without human interaction. In contrast, our searches are conducted and reviewed by experienced investigators who analyze data from several databases. We then analyze, compare, and combine the results into a comprehensive report.

If you visit online dating sites, you probably already know how easy it is for users to be deceptive. Before meeting any prospective romantic partner face-to-face, conduct a background check. You can learn if the person you have been chatting with is telling the truth or hiding something.

We will determine the following:

Personal detail: full name, age, marital status, and more
Criminal records: search for records including criminal, sex offenders, arrests, and warrants
Contact information: phone, email, business contacts, and full address
Location history: current and previous address and neighborhood information photos and online profiles
Social profile, photos, and videos from top online sites
Family background: family members, relatives, and/or associates
Comprehensive background check: $395

Delta 7 Group conducts background checks for caregivers. As the reports are used for employment, the caregiver must provide consent for the background investigation (per FCRA).

You shall reimburse each indemnified party on demand for any costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by such indemnified party to which this indemnity relates.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY—IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. YOU AND DELTA 7 GROUP ENTITIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT HAVE ARISEN OR MAY ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND DELTA 7 GROUP SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY.

You and Delta 7 Group and/or its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or any and all of their respective directors, officers, employees, and contractors agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between them ("dispute(s)"), except as otherwise specifically provided below.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: (1) Disputes related in any way to the services, billing, privacy, advertising, or our communications with you; (2) Disputes arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (3) Disputes that arose before your agreement to these terms of services or any prior agreement; (4) Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (5) disputes that may arise after the termination of your use of the services.

A. CONTACT US FIRST. If you intend to pursue or participate in any dispute in arbitration or small claims court (solely to the extent specifically provided below), you must first notify us of the dispute in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of initiating arbitration or the small claims court action (if applicable) and attempt to informally negotiate a resolution to the dispute in good faith.

Notice to us should be sent via certified mail to: Delta 7 Group, 65 Pine Avenue, Suite 371, Long Beach, CA 90803. The notice of dispute must: (a) include your name, address, phone number, and email address(es) used to register with or use the services; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; (c) enclose and/or identify all relevant documents and/or information; and (d) set forth the specific relief sought. If the applicable Delta 7 Group Entity and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, you may commence with a formal arbitration proceeding or small claims court action (if applicable).

B. MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION, YOU AND THE DELTA 7 GROUP ENTITIES ARE FOREGOING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

Rules. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), if applicable, as modified by this section. The AAA’s rules and a form for initiating the proceeding are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA rules.

Location. Unless otherwise required by the AAA rules, the arbitration shall be held in Seattle, Washington. You and Delta 7 Group may elect to have the arbitration conducted based solely on written submissions, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you or the applicable Delta 7 Group Entity may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

Cost sharing. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules unless otherwise stated in this agreement. The applicable Delta 7 Group Entity will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive unless the arbitrator determines that a dispute was filed for purposes of harassment or is patently frivolous. Reasonable documented attorneys' fees of both parties will be borne by the party that ultimately loses.

Arbitrator’s decision. The arbitrator will decide the substance of the Dispute in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington, regardless of the choice of law principles, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will have the power to award a party any relief or remedy that the party could have received in court in accordance with the law(s) that apply to the dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

C. CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

ANY PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE OR CLAIM.

UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S DISPUTES, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE DELTA 7 GROUP ENTITIES DO NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

D. ARBITRATION OPT-OUT. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by this arbitration provision by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to: Delta 7 Group, LLC, 65 Pine Avenue, Suite 371, Long Beach, CA 90802. This notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or, if you are already a user of the services upon initial release of this arbitration provision, within thirty (30) days of our email notice to you of that initial release.

The opt-out notice must state that you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number, and email address(es) used to register with or use the services. You must sign the opt-out notice for it to be effective. Any opt-out not received within the applicable thirty (30) day period set forth above will not be valid.

If you opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate, you and the Delta 7 Group Entities agree that any Disputes will be resolved by a state or federal court located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.

E. SMALL CLAIMS. You may choose to pursue your dispute in small claims court (rather than arbitration) where jurisdiction and venue over the applicable Delta 7 Group Entity and you are proper, and where your claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief, and so long as the matter advances on an individual (non-class) basis.

F. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, either party may bring suit in court seeking a temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, which shall then be subject to review by the arbitrator should such party further seek permanent injunctive relief in arbitration.

G. TIME LIMIT TO PURSUE DISPUTE. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the terms of service or privacy policy must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

H. CHANGES TO ARBITRATION CLAUSE. We may make changes to this arbitration provision during the term of our services to you. You may reject any material changes by sending us written objection within thirty (30) days of the change to Delta 7 Group, LLC, 65 Pine Avenue, Suite 371, Long Beach, CA 90802. By rejecting any future material change, you are agreeing to arbitrate in accordance with the unmodified language of the previous version.

Our relationship is not one of agency or partnership and neither you nor we shall be deemed to be a partner, employee, fiduciary, agent, or representative of the other by your use of the services. You may not assign or transfer your rights to any third party. The terms and conditions in these terms of service are severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall still be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions.

If we fail to enforce any provision of these terms of service, it shall not constitute a waiver of such provision. We may assign our rights and obligations under these terms of service. These terms of service will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, and licensees. The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce the strict performance of the other party with respect to any provision of these terms of service, or to exercise any right hereunder, will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and will remain in full force and effect.

The terms of service, the privacy policy, and any additional terms incorporated by reference herein will be governed by the laws of the state of Washington and constitute the entire understanding between us regarding your access to, license, and use of the services and supersede any prior agreements, statements, or representations with respect to the same.
