DISCLAIMER

This disclaimer serves to protect Grays Harbor Process Server Company, including its employees, agents, and representatives, from any liabilities or claims arising from the services rendered as a process server. By utilizing our services, you hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. Service Description: Grays Harbor Process Server Company specializes in providing process serving services. This entails the delivery of legal documents to individuals or entities as requested by our clients. Our responsibilities are strictly limited to the physical delivery of these documents and do not include the provision of legal advice or representation.

   • Standard serve procedure

   • Timeline: The initial attempt to serve the documents usually occurs within a standard timeframe, often around 5-7 business days *( no more than 15 days) of the process server receiving the papers. Subsequent attempts are made strategically.
   • Attempts: Most process servers commit to making a certain number of attempts, often around 3-4, to successfully serve the recipient. 
   • Standard service usually involves attempting personal service first, which is when the process server personally hands the documents to the defendant. If personal service is not possible after several attempts, alternative methods like substituted service (leaving the documents with a suitable person at the defendant's residence or workplace) or service by mail might be used, depending on the jurisdiction's rules.
   • Proof of Service: Upon successful service, the process server completes a proof of service form (also called an affidavit of service), which details the date, time, location, and method of service. This form is then filed with the court as evidence of proper notification. 

   • • Rush Service Procedure

     • Rush Service: First attempt usually made within 24 hours of receiving the order. Some services offer same-day attempts depending on the time of order placement.
   • Prioritization: Rush service ensures your documents are prioritized and handled with speed. This can involve dispatching a process server within hours of your request.
   • Increased Frequency of Attempts: After the initial attempt, daily efforts are made to serve the documents until all attempts are exhausted. This differs from the standard service which might have attempts spread out over a longer timeframe.
   • Higher Cost: Due to the expedited nature and prioritized handling, Rush service comes with an additional cost compared to standard service.
   • Proof of Service: Process servers offering Rush service typically provide the proof of service (affidavit) faster, often within 24 hours of successful service, compared to the standard service which might take longer. 

2. Limitation of Liability: Grays Harbor Process Server Company shall not be held liable for any errors, omissions, or delays in the process serving activities, including but not limited to incorrect addresses, the unavailability of the intended recipient, or other circumstances outside our control. Furthermore, we accept no responsibility for any legal outcomes or consequences resulting from the service of process.
