Terms of Service

1. Acceptance & Engagement Authority

By engaging CLUE or executing an investigative retainer agreement, you affirm that you have lawful standing, permissible purpose, and statutory authority to request investigation into the target subject, entity, or digital asset.

2. Scope of Professional Services

CLUE delivers licensed private intelligence, forensic device analysis, asset tracing, and physical surveillance. Every operation is conducted in strict compliance with applicable federal, state, and international privacy statutes.

3. Permissible Purpose & Lawful Conduct

We reserve the right to immediately terminate any inquiry or engagement without refund if we have reason to suspect the findings will be utilized for:

• Unlawful stalking, intimidation, or physical harm
• Violation of existing restraining orders or protective injunctions
• Extortion, blackmail, or tortious interference
• Evading law enforcement or active criminal prosecution

4. Objective Fact-Finding & Evidentiary Independence

CLUE is an objective finder of fact. We document verifiable evidence as it exists. We cannot and do not guarantee pre-determined outcomes, predetermined findings, or specific litigation verdicts. Findings reflect objective truth uncovered through lawful methods.

5. Retainers & Financial Terms

All engagements require an agreed retainer or flat-fee deposit prior to operative deployment or forensic intake. Hourly fees, specialized database licensing, and statutory travel expenditures are debited against the active retainer as detailed in your bilateral statement of work.

6. Ownership & Court Admissibility

Final investigative reports and certified affidavits become client work product upon full settlement of invoices. Tradecraft, investigative techniques, proprietary OSINT crawlers, and confidential source relationships remain the exclusive intellectual property of CLUE.
