Terms of Service — Kern County Process Servers

Terms of Service

By engaging Kern County Process Servers, you agree to the following terms. Services are provided subject to availability and compliance with applicable California law and court rules.

Service Agreement

Kern County Process Servers agrees to make diligent efforts to serve your documents. While we guarantee our best professional efforts, we cannot guarantee successful service in all cases — for example, when a subject actively evades service, has moved without leaving a forwarding address, or resides in an inaccessible location. In such cases, a Due Diligence Affidavit will be provided documenting all attempts made.

Payment Terms

Payment is due upon completion of service unless a billing account has been established in advance. Rush service fees apply when same-day or next-day service is requested. All fees are as listed on our fees page unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Cancellation

Orders may be cancelled at no charge if cancelled before a process server has been dispatched. If a process server has already been dispatched, a partial fee may apply.

Accuracy of Information

The client is responsible for providing accurate address information, subject descriptions, and document copies. Kern County Process Servers is not liable for failed serves resulting from incorrect information provided by the client.

Confidentiality

All client and case information is held strictly confidential. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Limitation of Liability

Kern County Process Servers’ liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific service in question. We are not liable for consequential damages arising from service delays beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to case dismissals or statute of limitations issues.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes shall be resolved in Kern County Superior Court.
