To ensure fair scheduling and efficient service for all our clients, the following cancellation and late fee policies are strictly adhered to:
1. Cancellation Policy:
Cancellations with More Than 24 Hours Notice: If you cancel your appointment with more than twenty-four (24) hours' notice prior to the scheduled appointment time, no cancellation fee will be assessed. Any pre-payment made will be fully refunded within 5 business days.
Cancellations with Less Than 24 Hours Notice: Appointments canceled with less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice will result in the forfeiture of the full scheduled service payment. This policy applies regardless of the reason for cancellation.
2. No-Show Policy:
A "No-Show" occurs when the signer(s) and/or required documents are not available or ready at the scheduled appointment location within fifteen (15) minutes of the scheduled appointment time, and no communication has been received.
In the event of a No-Show, the full scheduled service payment will be forfeited.
3. Late Arrival Policy:
A fifteen (15) minute grace period will be extended from the scheduled appointment time.
Should we need to wait beyond this fifteen (15) minute grace period due to the signer(s) or necessary documents not being ready or available, we will charge a late fee of One Dollar ($1.00) for every minute of waiting time beyond the initial 15-minute grace period.
These late fees will be calculated and billed on-site and must be paid at the time of service via PayPal, Venmo, or cash.
Excessive waiting time (e.g., beyond 30 minutes from the scheduled appointment, inclusive of the grace period) may, at our discretion, be considered a No-Show and subject to the No-Show policy outlined above.
4. Incomplete Notarizations:
While we strive for successful notarizations, there are instances where a notarization cannot be completed due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g., signer lacks valid identification, signer is unwilling to sign, signer does not understand the document, document errors, etc.).
In such cases, we will still assess the full travel fee (if applicable) and a reasonable service fee for time and travel, which are non-refundable.
