SECTION F. TERMS & CONDITIONS
1.
Altered orForgedAcademic Credentials
An evaluation will not be prepared and fees will not be refunded in the event ACEI determines, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that the educational credentials submitted for
evaluation have in any way been altered, tampered, modified or forged, whether by the applicant or any other third party (collectively, “Forged Credentials”). All documents
(photocopies/originals/official) provided become the property of AC EI. The institution, agency, or professional licensing board for which the evaluation is intended, U.S.government
agencies, and other evaluation services will be notified in the vent ACEI believes the credentials submitted for evaluation are Forged Credentials.
2.
Equivalency Recommendations & Guarantees
The U.S. educational equivalencies recommended in ACEI evaluation reports are in accordance with established guidelines and represent the considered judgments of qualified
evaluators. Applicant acknowledged having been informed that ACEI evaluation reports are advisory only and that ACEI’s recommended U.S. educational equivalencies may differ
or otherwise vary from advisories rendered or prepared by other third party academic evaluators or source institutions. ACEI evaluations and/or recommendations are not binding
on any institution, agency or third party. Additionally, applicant acknowledges having been informed and agrees that (1) although ACEI shall use reasonable efforts to determine the
validity of such information it receives, ACEI does not and cannot guarantee against ubmitting its report or evaluation and/or recommendations based on review of Forged
Credentials or other fraudulently altered items (whether the same has been sent directly to ACEI by the source institution or directly by the Applicant) and (2) ACEI shall have no
liability, duty, or obligation to applicant, Applicant Parties (defined below under Terms and Conditions Section 12) or any source institution in the event ACEI submits a report or
evaluation based on its review of any information or record that is ultimately deemed to be a Forged Credential despite ACEI’s reasonable determination that the same was not
Forged Credential at the time of initial submission or review. Without limiting any of the foregoing, ACEI does not guarantee that an applicant, agency, or any third party will agree
with its educational equivalency recommendations and assumes no responsibility for judgments or opinions made by an applicant, agency, or by any third party which disagrees
with its educational equivalency recommendations. In the event or any disputes between the applicant and ACEI, such disputes shall resolved by Mediation (as more particularly
described below under Terms and Conditions Section 12) and governed by California law and shall be subject to exclusive the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Courts without t
reference to.
3.

official report in a sealed envelope which should be opened by the institution, agency or third party for which the evaluation is intended.
4.

and/or Applicant Parties them out of this Agreement before resorting to any arbitration or other legal action. Mediation is a process by which parties attempt to resolve a dispute or
claim by submitting it to an impartial, neutral mediator, who is authorized to facilitate the resolution of the dispute, but who is not empowered to impose a settlement on the parties.
The parties agree to employ ADR Dispute Resolution Services in Los Angeles, California, or if an acceptable panel member from that organization is not available within 30 days of
the date of submission of this matter to mediation, then to another commercial mediator or mediation service mutually elected and mutually agreed to by Applicant and ACEI ("ADR
Services"). Mediation fees, if any, shall be divided equally among all of the parties involved and shall be paid to the mediator prior to the commencement of the mediation.
Evidence of anything said, any admission made, and any documents prepared in the course of the mediation, shall not be admissible in evidence, or subject to discovery in any
arbitration or court action, pursuant to California Evidence Code Section 1152.5. If any party commences any litigation or court action based on a dispute or claim to which this
Section 12 applies without first attempting to resolve the matter through mediation, then if such party prevails in the litigation or court action, the trial court shall have the authority to
allow such party to recover its attorneys' fees or costs of suit.
13.
Attorneys' Fees
In any mediation, litigation, or other legal proceeding which may arise between Applicant, ACEI and any third party that becomes a party to the subject matter set forth under the
application, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs, including costs and actual attorney’ fees in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
14.
Disclaimer
Applicant, on behalf of himself or herself and on behalf of Applicant Parties, acknowledges and agrees that ACEI has not and does not make any guaranty or warranty to Applicant
that it can fully safeguard against reviewing fraudulently tampered, altered, forged, or modified documents although ACEI shall use reasonable efforts to prevent doing so. No
express or implied guarantees are made by ACEI with respect to its ability to, at all times, accurately identify forged, fraudulent, tampered, or altered credentials, transcripts or other
items submitted to it for review.

Application; (ii) ACEI’s review of any information, credentials, transcripts or other documents whether provided by Applicant or the sourcing institution; (iii) any evaluation report or
recommendation made by ACEI; and (iv) any review, finding or recommendation made by ACEI based on its review of forged, fraudulent, tampered, altered or other forged
information it received and reviewed
Without limiting the foregoing, Applicant waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: A GENERAL
