In order to execute an order, it is necessary to meet the following conditions: preliminary analysis of the possibility of execution of the order based on the information obtained from the Client and the expected date of execution of the study, as well as the Client’s acceptance of the valuation of the case. After presenting the client with an individual research plan, possibilities, chances of success, as well as costs, we await the client’s acceptance. After accepting the order, we maintain contact with the Client, informing of the results of each stage of the case. The timing of each order is an individual matter, depending on the dispersal of archival resources and the ability to access historical archives, churches, libraries and museums, as well as official documents and government responses.

V. Payments

The costs of each project are consulted with the client on an ongoing basis and presented for approval. Upon acceptance of the order, the Client pays 100% or 50% for the value of the service (expected value, which may change, of which the Client will be informed) for fees, travel, costs of access to archives, etc. Accepted forms of payment: bank transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay. The Polish Genealogist has the right to suspend the provision of individual services until payment is made, which cannot be the basis for a complaint. Failure to find documents in the document search and a negative decision from the Provincial Office, which are the result of factors beyond the control of Nasi Przodkowie Marcin Polak, are not the basis for a refund.
