APPLICATION FOR CREDENTIALS EVALUATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE :
Some mail clients such as Outlook and web-based email services such as Yahoo.com, Aol.com and Hotmail.com seem to sometimes put the files that we send you into the junk, bulk mail and other mailboxes or folders. Please keep an eye out for this and check all of your mailboxes and folders before contacting us to tell us that you have not heard back from us. Chances are it will be in there. If you do not check those folders and mailboxes your evaluation will be delayed because we will be waiting to hear back from you. On the other hand if you truly do not hear from us within 3 days (24 hours if you paid for rush service), please send an email to CCIevals@gmail.com so we may double check your file. Do NOT call to see if your application was received. It will only delay the process. Send an email only. We will be communicating with you via email. Please check your email and be sure to RESPOND to our questions. We will print and mail our evaluation only if you notify us that the information is correct, so please be certain to do that if you check and respond to the emails that we send to you. Clients must review evolutions and approve them prior to CCI mailing out the hard copies. Clients with a tight schedule must remember to allow 24-36 hours for corrections to be made. Final copies are mailed 24-48 hours after approval.

I agree that this evaluation may be revoked at any time if the information given on the application or to CCI at any time or on any accompanying documents is not perfectly true, correct and honest
or if the status of any institution changes
.
I certify that I have received, read and understand the instructions, terms and conditions specified in the Career Consultants International (CCI) web site, www.TheDegreePeople.com, and/or application, brochure and agree to all terms and conditions stated therein, including, but not limited to the following:
CCI shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages which I may incur if CCI does not issue the educational equivalency that I anticipated. I fully understand that the evaluation is not a legal document, is advisory and not binding upon any agency, employer, university, institution of any sort, individual, licensing board for which I may use the evaluation. CCI and its representatives are released from any liability resulting from the use of the evaluation
and that CCI will be held harmless and not included in any law suit.
I agree to reimburse CCI for any and all costs, including legal expenses, which it may incur as a result of any claim that I (or anyone having any interest in my earnings or services) may make, based on the evaluation determination.
I understand and agree that no refunds will be issued in any event, unless stated otherwise, including but not limited to, not receiving the evaluation anticipated, evaluations that appear to be altered, evaluations not being accepted by anyone, evaluations not arriving by a particular date. CCI is not responsible for client deadlines even if they are missed due to a clerical error at CCI.

I agree that CCI will not be held responsible for any liability due to loss or damage to documents submitted with respect to this application. In the event of any errors or omissions on the part of CCI, CCI will redo the evaluation at no cost and will mail it via first class mail at no charge. At no time and under no circumstances what so ever, CCI will never be responsible for more than the amount paid for the evaluation itself. Clients understand that they should have an attorney or advisor review any evaluations that are being used for immigration purposes to insure that the evaluation meets the criteria of their particular Visa application. Each type of visa had different rules and CCI is not a law firm nor does it or can it give legal advice nor are they responsible for the legal needs of their clients.
If I paid with a credit or debit card the statement will read “Career Consultants Int’l” I agree that this is a non-refundable payment and I will not issue a chargeback. If a chargeback is issued we will contact you and recharge your card + $15 processing fee.

I agree that if I approve the contents of an evaluation and then wish to have it changed and/or mailed to a different address, I will pay for
these changes.
I agree that CCI will not be held responsible for any evaluations or documents that once mailed by CCI that are not properly delivered. CCI mails all evaluations the next business day after the client approves the evaluation.
