If Applicant does not agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this document, Applicant must not use this website or any products or services available or offered by Waivers.org.
Accreditation
Waivers.org is Accredited via the Better Business Bureau (Ottawa) and uses RCMP Accredited fingerprints in each application process. Fingerprints are completed at registered RCMP detachments and third-party RCMP accredited services.
Policies and Information
Waivers.org is a private application processing firm which serves as an intermediary agency between the Parole Board of Canada, Department of Homeland Security, RCMP and other government organizations to assist individuals to complete applications for a Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension), U.S. Entry Waiver, Non-Conviction Purge, Certified criminal record checks and others. Waivers.org uses RCMP accredited fingerprints via digital services across Canada. Waivers.org does not offer or provide legal advice. Waivers.org guarantees to work to the full extent of their ability to assist applicants in completing applications for a Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension), U.S. Entry Waiver, Non-Conviction Purge, Certified criminal record check and others, but it does not approve or deny such applications. Waivers.org guarantees a successful Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension) to applicants that meet the Parole Board of Canada’s eligibility requirements for a Pardon and comply with all guidelines and restrictions set out within the Waivers.org “Pardon Approval Guarantee and Limitations” section of this document. By using Waivers.org’s online submission or application form, applying over the phone, applying in person, or via any other method for any product or service available or advertised by Waivers.org’s website or advertising medium, applicant authorizes Waivers.org to open a personal file and begin all associated tasks involving the process applied for. All agreed upon fees for services become due immediately except for monthly payment programs agreed upon and issued in writing, via mail or email, to applicant. Non-payment of fees or missing scheduled payments may, at the discretion of Waivers.org, result in applicant’s file being placed on hold or suspended until contact is made and an appropriate payment plan is negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Files placed on hold or suspended may result in a re-activation fee. Files may not be reactivated, and work may not resume on the file until an appropriate payment is made, including the re-activation fee if applicable, or other payment made in an agreed upon payment plan. Failure to contact Waivers.org in a timely manner may result in cancellation of applicant’s file in which case any eligible and refundable portion of payments made is forfeited. Waivers.org service fees are set strictly in relation to the preparation of all documents, consulting, 3rd party disbursements (courts, police, government filing fees), mailing expenses, photocopying, printing, long distance, office supplies, administrative fees etc. Applicant may be required to pay additional costs related to fingerprinting, RCMP record searches, Department of Homeland Security fees, or any other local, provincial, or federal government fees. All of which, if applicable, are neither set nor governed by Waivers.org and subject to change without notice. Waivers.org agrees to complete all work in a timely manner; however, Waivers.org cannot extend any timeline guarantees with respect to third-party and/or government agencies to process and complete applications for any product or service available from Waivers.org. Therefore, Waivers.org cannot guarantee any timeline in which application results are received. Any estimated or quoted processing timelines provided are approximations and are dependent on numerous factors in the process. It is the applicant’s responsibility to notify Waivers.org immediately upon any address, phone number, contact information, legal name change, expiration of identification information which changes during Waivers.org’s involvement in applicant’s file(s). Should any extra service or disbursement arise because of negligence on applicant’s part, or failure to report a change in applicant’s situation, applicant may be responsible for the fees involved in correcting the misinformation. Declined credit card payments or missed scheduled payments may be subject to an overdue payment fee. Files may be placed on hold until such overdue fees are paid in full, or alternative arrangements made. Should applicant fail to pay any outstanding fees, including overdue, penalty and/or re-activation fees, applicant’s file may be placed on hold or cancelled with no further progress until such time as outstanding fees are paid in full. Delinquent files may be permanently closed and/or purged after thirty (30) calendar days of non-payment. Waivers.org agrees that all information provided by applicant is strictly confidential and shall not, under any circumstance be released, sold, distributed, rented, or otherwise made available in any manner to any third-party organization or individual outside the bounds of the required government agencies or individuals that are employed or contracted with Waivers.org to facilitate the application applied for. Waivers.org’s privacy and discretion are extremely important and full details on Waivers.org’s policies related to privacy are detailed within the Pardon Applications of Canada Privacy Policy. Waivers.org cannot in any way guarantee the success of any service related to a US Entry Waiver. The success of this service is dependent on the discretion and decision of Customs & Border Protection, a division of the Department of Homeland Security (United States). Waivers.org guarantees only to complete, in as accurately and timely a manner as possible, the required elements of the US Entry Waiver application to increase, as much as possible, the possibility of acceptance and success. Waivers.org cannot in any way guarantee the success of any service related to a Non-Conviction Purge. The success of this service is dependent on the discretion and decision of local or municipal police detachment(s). Waivers.org guarantees only to complete, as accurately and timely a manner as possible, the required elements of the Non-Conviction Purge/Record Destruction application and petitioning to increase, as much as possible, the possibility of acceptance and success, but this in no way is a guarantee. Waivers.org serves applicants from coast to coast in Canada meaning exact tax rates can vary depending on the applicant’s home province of residence. For purposes of pricing consistency and simplicity, Waivers.org charges a 15% premium on all its applicable services, which is used to pay the exact provincial & federal taxes associated with the client’s file. Any outstanding balance still available from this premium, after provincial & federal taxes are paid by Waivers.org, is retained by Waivers.org as an administration fee. Therefore, fees or services charged or billed to the Applicant always include all applicable taxes. Waivers.org reserves full rights to reject any application for any product or service available or advertised on this website or any other official or non-official advertising medium.
Pardon (Record Suspension) Approval Guarantee and Limitations
Waivers.org guarantees approval of a Canadian Pardon (Record Suspension) to all eligible applicants upon opening a file with Waivers.org and paying, in full, including any re-activation or penalty fees, the appropriate fees. However, the guarantee is limited to the eligible applicant meeting each one of the following conditions, without exception:
- official RCMP criminal record search must reveal strictly summary convictions, and zero indictable convictions;
- hybrid offences must have been prosecuted summarily, which must be so indicated via verifiable court documents;
- must not have been convicted of any sexual offences or related sexual convictions of any type, even if the sexual conviction is classified as a summary sexual offence;
- applicants must have provided clear and accurate information to their Waivers.org file representative during an initial phone consultation without omitting, withholding or amending any relevant information which could result in an unsuccessful application, whether it was intentional or not;
- all payments must have been received according to the agreed upon Terms and Conditions outlined within this document;
- no payments shall have been received late, missed, declined, or charged-back;
- eligibility requirements must be met at the time of signing up for Waivers.org’s services, otherwise the file will be on hold with no refund and will be resumed when eligibility is met, at which time the guarantee will be resumed as long as all other outlined conditions are met;
- any law changes which come into effect after signing up for any Waivers.org service, which may influence the possible outcome of the application, immediately negates and removes the guarantee. Waivers.org is not liable for unsuccessful applications resulting from any law changes to which it had no control;
- should the RCMP criminal record search reveal no criminal record on file, the guarantee does not stand and no refund will be issued;
- if applicant chooses to terminate the application for any reason.
Applicant Submission Form (ASF) & Optional File Upgrades
Applicants are required to submit to Waivers.org (via fax, email scan, mail, or digital authorization) an Applicant Submission Form (ASF) within fifteen (15) days upon activating a file. Receipt of the ASF authorizes Waivers.org to immediately initiate work on the applicant’s behalf and constitutes full acceptance of the Terms & Conditions of the applicant’s agreement herein including the applicant’s complete and entire payment schedule and payment commitment (if applicable). Optional file upgrades selected on the ASF will be billed according to the applicant’s payment method on file, with a receipt and confirmation of the addition provided by Waivers.org within 48 business hours. Once ordered, file upgrades may be cancelled but are non-refundable. Service or product related to optional additions begin immediately except for the digital transcript(s) which are included in the applicant’s final completed application process.
Pardon Qualification, Wait Periods & Pardon Eligibility Requirements
In cases where applicants purposely or mistakenly provide to Waivers.org incorrect background information, incorrect conviction or restitution/fine payment dates, or if police and/or court records acquired by Waivers.org on behalf of the applicant indicate an issue with the eligibility requirements for a Pardon as per the Criminal Records Act of Canada, a wait period may be required causing the Pardon application to be placed on hold or the eligibility of a Pardon for the applicant may be temporarily or permanently affected. Waivers.org has no opportunity to know this information in advance upon the applicant’s initial phone consultation and is not responsible for the resulting legal wait period, if applicable. Wait periods and Pardon eligibility requirements are denoted solely by the Criminal Records Act of Canada to which Waivers.org governs its application process. In such cases, a Pardon applicant may be notified of a resulting wait period and have its file placed on Dormancy until such time as the wait period nears or reaches expiration.
Free Application Confirmation Letter
Immediately upon activating a file with payment and upon submission of and processing of applicant’s ASF, applicant may request one (1) Confirmation Letter on Waivers.org letterhead without fee. Confirmation Letter is written confirmation that Waivers.org has opened a file and undertaken a specific application for the applicant but is not intended to suggest confirmation of approval for such application nor does it guarantee any benefit toward employment, travel or otherwise. Applicants may request more than one Confirmation Letter so long as the file is in good standing.
Application Transfer
There is no fee to transfer an application (for example, changing application from a U.S. Entry Waiver to a Canadian Pardon) within the first seven (7) days upon activation of any file. After seven (7) days, transferring from one application to another is subject to a $150.00 (includes tax) transfer fee. Applicant remains responsible for any additional disbursements, fingerprint fee, or government submission not already completed for the new application. Transfer fee must be paid in full by applicant prior to the transfer.
Automatic Billing & Payment Methods
Waivers.org automatically bills regular scheduled monthly program payments which are communicated well in advance to applicant. Automatic billing is an important aspect of each application to ensure that processing is not delayed, and timelines are not missed in work completed by Waivers.org, which could otherwise affect the quality and accuracy of Waivers.org’s work. In addition to regular scheduled monthly service payments, applicant authorizes Waivers.org in advance to automatically bill 3rd Party Costs assuming these additional costs have been communicated to applicant with at least four (4) weeks notice. Waivers.org agrees to provide a detailed explanation of each billing and an immediate receipt issued via email or mail, and to process the payment via the applicant’s already authorized payment method on file. Applicant retains the option of cancelling automatic billing by informing Waivers.org via email, fax, or phone. In this case, future billings are invoiced to the applicant and work immediately ceases on the file until the invoiced amount is paid in full. Note that cancelling automatic billing does not affect the applicant’s already agreed upon monthly payment program, if applicable, which will be billed automatically regardless of applicant’s automatic billing status. Primary payment methods on file will always be used first toward the automatic billing of costs and fees as per applicant’s agreement. In the case of an overdue or suspended account due to non-payment, secondary payment methods are subject to automatic billing to fulfill the applicant’s agreement and avoid non-payment procedures. Applicant agrees that in the case of non-payment using a primary payment method, the secondary payment method (if available) may be instituted as the primary payment method. However, secondary payment methods will not be subject to automatic billing if the applicant has cancelled automatic billing as per above.
Cancellation Policies
There are two (2) types of cancellation requests: 1) the Change of Heart Cancellation Request (COH) for files that have been active for less than 48 business hours and 2) Cancellation Request Form (CRF) for files that have been active for longer than 48 business hours. For Change of Heart Cancellation Request (COH) within 48 business hours, applicant agrees that there is no cancellation fee, and applicant will receive a full refund of any payment(s) made to Waivers.org, less $80.00 administration fee, to the file’s primary payment method on file within 48 business hours, if available, otherwise a refund cheque will be mailed within 4-6 weeks. For Cancellation Request Form (CRF) after 48 business hours, applicant agrees that there is no cancellation fee and any remaining balance due from applicant to Waivers.org will be waived. Applicant further agrees that upon cancellation, no refund will be issued by Waivers.org for any payment(s) already completed, for any reason, and that applicant immediately forfeits ownership of all completed work, relevant legal documents and/or items submitted by applicant to Waivers.org related to the file, and that Waivers.org may archive or destroy this work/documents at its sole discretion.
Cancellation or Dormancy of File Due to New Criminal Charge(s)
Should applicant obtain a new criminal charge(s) after the activation of their file with Waivers.org, during the applicant process, the entire file may be suspended, cancelled or subject to Dormancy pending full resolution of the charge(s) including a new legal wait period, if applicable. If Waivers.org offers applicant the opportunity to maintain the file, all charge(s) and court-imposed outcomes must be fully resolved, at which time, Waivers.org will analyze the appropriate next steps for the applicant’s file.
Documentation, File & Intellectual Property Ownership
Waivers.org holds absolute right and ownership of all documentation, contents, transcripts & digital property related to a file until the account is paid in full or applicant cancels the file by following appropriate procedures. Otherwise, applicant forfeits any rights to certified documents, fingerprints received, information processed, digital or written transcripts, information and/or any other work completed by or submitted to Waivers.org prior to cancellation/closure.
CDR, Government Filing/Submission & Potential 3rd Party Disbursements Not Included in Base Service Fee
Waivers.org’s service fee includes all actual legal work associated with the preparation, processing, and servicing of applicant’s file for any and each application. The service fee does not include additional disbursements which are entirely applicant’s responsibility and will be itemized and billed according to the existing payment method on file. A fully transparent, detailed, and thorough Criminal Record Disbursement Report (CDR) will be emailed and/or mailed to applicant clearly itemizing these additional disbursements which may be billed depending on the number of specific court dispositions, number of convictions, number of non-conviction criminal charges, number of required local police record checks, government filing fees and optional recommended services. Waivers.org’s service fees may not include applicable government submission fees such as the Homeland Security submission fee (currently $585 USD, subject to change by U.S. government without notice) for U.S. Entry Waiver applications and/or Parole Board of Canada submission fee (currently $50.00, subject to change by Canadian government without notice) for Canadian Pardon applications. Applicant is entirely responsible for government submission fees (if applicable) or the difference in the fees should the fee increase during the applicant process. Disbursements are itemized in good faith via the CDR, however, in the unlikely event that a disbursement paid by applicant is no longer used or required throughout the duration of applicant’s file, no refund or credit will be issued. Failure to pay additional disbursements may result in applicant’s file being placed on Dormancy or closed.
Balance Owing Hold before Government Submission
Before submission of a completed Pardon application to the Parole Board of Canada, applicants total balance owing to Waivers.org must be $250.00 or less and the file must have a history of payment compliance. The absence of one or both of these factors will result in the file being placed on a temporary hold until the applicant’s total balance is $0.00, at which point, the completed Pardon application will be immediately submitted. Applicant remains fully responsible for any expiration of documents and/or other work which becomes required between the time of the hold and the actual submission date.
Non-Compliance of Required Applicant Responsibilities
Waivers.org reserves the right to close a file after a minimum six (6) months period in which applicant fails to communicate to Waivers.org, fails to complete fingerprinting, fails to honor agreed upon payment(s), fails to return documents or any other missed deadline or missed responsibility by the applicant which causes Waivers.org increased administration or consulting. Re-activation of the file may be offered by Waivers.org at its sole discretion with a re-activation fee, if applicable.
File Hold Option
Applicant may place entire file with Waivers.org on “Hold” for a fee of $15.00 (includes tax) each Friday of each week. During the Hold period, any agreed upon payments due and ongoing work are suspended until the file is re-activated from Hold or cancelled.
Dormancy (Monthly or Weekly)
Dormancy may be applied by Waivers.org to a file which is unable to progress toward its next phase or level of service due to a legal wait period, overdue billing, or an incomplete applicant responsibility after a minimum of one hundred (100) calendar days following issuance of instructions via email, phone and/or mail. There are two (2) types of Dormancy which can be applied at the discretion of Waivers.org which is Monthly Dormancy (MDCY) or Weekly Dormancy (WDCY). MDCY is typically applied in cases where a Pardon application file is on hold due to a legally required wait period as per the Criminal Records Act. WDCY is typically applied to all other cases. During a file’s Dormancy Period for WDCY, applicant is automatically billed $15.00 every Friday of each week via the applicant’s payment method on file for ongoing administration and to uphold a basic service level of the file. During a file’s Dormancy Period for MDCY, applicant is automatically billed $15.00 on the 1st of each month via the applicant’s payment method on file for ongoing administration and to uphold a basic service level of the file. A file cannot be placed on both MDCY and WDCY. Whether MDCY or WDCY, Dormancy continues indefinitely until the required legal wait period, overdue payment or applicant responsibility is resolved or the file is cancelled. Waivers.org reserves the right to apply or not to apply Dormancy to a file, depending on service needs, billing status and other factors. If any Dormancy payment is declined or dishonored, the file may be immediately closed by Waivers.org with a minimum 30-day re-activation period and subject to a re-activation fee. Receipts for all/any Dormancy payments throughout the history of a file can be requested by the applicant to Waivers.org at any time.
Dishonored Applicant Agreements
Applicants who dishonor the agreed upon terms & conditions of their Applicant Agreement and/or fail to complete the entirety of their agreed upon payment commitments, may be subject to closure of their file, submission to collections, and/or a legal claim by Waivers.org to recover the dishonored commitment. In cases where applicant requests to cancel their signed Applicant Agreement and payment commitments, the CRF cancellation procedure applies including the resulting cancellation fee, if applicable.
Abuse Policy
Waivers.org, its Officers, employees, or affiliates do not tolerate abusive, offensive, or threatening language in any manner whatsoever. This includes inappropriate and/or vulgar language, threatening words via phone or email, or any other abusive or unprofessional behavior. Applicants who make legal threats, reputation defamation or any other form of threatening action will have their file immediately suspended and forwarded to a Legal Compliance Department without prejudice. No service will be continued or offered, nor refund issued while a file is suspended for applicant abuse. Further abuse from the applicant may result in the initiation of harassment complaints to authorities. However, should the applicant agree to demonstrate the ability to accept agreed upon service in a professional manner, the file may be reactivated, and service resumed. Alternatively, Waivers.org retains the right to close the file with all relevant documentation and/or work completed returned to the applicant and no refund of service issued.
