Disclaimer
During the initial investigation period of 48 working hours, barring extenuating circumstances, or an extension of time agreed to by yourself for OffRecord, you agree not to share the information and/or evidence disclosed to OffRecord to any other person or entity. Confidentiality is of utmost importance to OffRecord. By disclosing your information to OffRecord, you waive your right to make a protected disclosure during the time that OffRecord is investigating the claim. The False Claims Act allows a person to make a protected disclosure to a Congressman, etc. without being charged without criminal liability.
You are responsible for providing OffRecord with a full and accurate disclosure of all facts known to you. You can provide OffRecord with any and all evidence in your possession which substantiates your claim at this time, or if you prefer, you can share the detailed evidence once the full contract has been signed by yourself and OffRecord.
Oftentimes, people that are presenting these cases are basing their claim on hunches and beliefs, rather than on factual evidence and proof.
You understand that OffRecord unilaterally has the ability to decline further pursuit of your claim on your behalf, if it determines that not enough evidence exists to prove the claim.
If OffRecord or its agents discovers any misrepresentations you have made concerning the claim, at any time during their investigation, OffRecord reserves the right to end its investigation of your claim.
If OffRecord decides not to further investigate your claim, your information and evidence will be returned to you and OffRecord will destroy any and all evidence of receipt of same to the best of its ability.
You understand that during the period of investigation and prior to the filing of the qui tam action pursuant to the False Claims Act by OffRecord, there will be no recovery if someone else files first and a successful resolution is obtained. If someone files first, but is unsuccessful, it is possible to subsequently file, so long as the facts of fraud are more specific. Furthermore, you are aware that the statute of limitations continues to run until an action is filed, absent any tolling of the statute of limitations. OffRecord does not warrant that the qui tam action will be successful, that the government will intervene (as this only happens in approximately 25% of the cases). Further, OffRecord does not warrant that all qui tam actions will be pursued to trial; there may be instances where the law firm(s) hired by OffRecord is(are) unwilling to continue with the litigation after the Department of Justice has chosen not to intervene, or determines that the costs of further litigation does not justify denial of the settlement offered by the defendant(s).
Results may vary, as settlement and/or trial awards are dependent on many factors, eg. 1) The specificity of the information detailing the fraud/ability to prove elements of the fraud; 2) The competency of the attorneys; 3) that the statute of limitations has run, to name a few.
OffRecord is not responsible for any legal matter that may arise directly or indirectly from use of its website and/or communication with OffRecord.
OffRecord is not liable for any good faith act or omission on its part.
OffRecord is not a lawfirm, nor is its CEO or any employee an attorney. Client attorney priviledge does not apply.
There is no fiduciary relationship between yourself and OffRecord.
In no event shall either party be liable for any consequential, incidental, indirect, or special damages, including lost profits and punitive damages.
