Our Terms and Conditions

All references to "I", "we," "our," "ours" and "GuaranteedCompensation.com" refers to the staff and owners of GuaranteedCompensation.com. All references to "the Site" and "the Website" refers to any and all the information and data held online at any on the various pages of this website. All references to "you," "yours," and "submitting individual" refers to all persons who visit the Site and/or utilise the services on the Site, the person whose name appears as the claimant on a submitted personal injury claim form or the authorised representative and/or guardian of a minor wishing to make a claim.

You should carefully read the following terms before using the Site. By using the Site you are agreeing to become bound by the Terms and Conditions herein. This is a legally binding agreement. If you do not agree with the Terms you should not use the Site.

1. We agree to provide you access to the Site in accordance with the Terms and you agree to abide by same.

2. You are responsible for providing and maintaining all personal computer and communications equipment and Internet access accounts necessary to gain access to the Site.

3. You are responsible for any communications, messages and other information that you receive as a result of your use of the Site and bear the entire responsibility for any losses that you may experience as a result of your use of the Site.

4. We assume that the details provided on the claim forms are the details of the person submitting the claim forms or their litigation friend. PLEASE NOTE that the principal form of contact between Our Company and you will be via electronic mail; therefore, a valid email address must be provided on the claim form that you submit online, as that email address will be used to notify you whether or not your claim was accepted or rejected by any or all the Solicitors on our panel, and should your email address change you are solely responsible for notifying GuaranteedCompensation.com staff, immediately of such change.

5. After we review your full claim form, within the herein noted time period, your full claim form will be forwarded to a solicitor qualified and experienced in the type of claim you are making. If that solicitor does not wish to pursue your claim on your behalf, for whatever reason, it will be forwarded to the next available solicitor who could handle your case, this process will be repeated up to three (3) times; thereafter, we will assume that none of our Solicitors is able to assist you with your claim. This does not mean that you do not have a case. It may mean that it is too early in the case to establish blame or indeed quantifiable injuries. Rejection by our panel of Solicitors does not stop you from pursuing your case elsewhere and/or with any other legal advisor.

6. In the event that our first choice panel of solicitors declines to accept your case for whatever reason, your claim will be forwarded to a second and if necessary, a third solicitor on our panel. If this is the case, there will be no guarantee of a minimum compensation in the event that any of our subsequent solicitors are unable to win you compensation. The guarantee of £1,000 in the event of failure to win you compensation only applies if the first solicitor your claim is offered to does not decline the case on the ground of its merit or validity.

7. You agree to inform us of any apparent breaches of security such as loss, theft or unauthorised disclosure or use of any ID and/or reference number which we may issue to you and, although every effort will be made to assist you, you will remain liable for any unauthorised use.

8. You agree to use the Site in a manner consistent with any and all applicable rules and regulations. All information including but not limited to ideas, suggestions, concepts and graphics, submitted to us through the Site will become our exclusive property.

9. By using this Site you understand and agree that Our "sole responsibility" is to forward your claim form to the Solicitors for their review and consideration, and therefore We are not responsible for: a) any incorrect information provided by either you and/or the Solicitors; b) the quality of service provided by the Solicitors and/or any subcontractor we or they utilise, including but not limited to call centres and marketing organisations; c) failure by you, the Solicitors and/or any of the herein noted subcontractors to timely process your claim and/or rejection of same before the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations; and/or d) failure by any of the Solicitors to accept your claim.

10. You agree that once you have submitted your claim to us you will not submit that claim to any other solicitor, claims handler or begin proceedings yourself. We are performing a service that you will not be charged for if we are allowed the proper period of time to perform that service. If we are successful in finding a solicitor to take your case, then you do not have to pay any service charges, this will be paid by the accepting solicitor. If we are unsuccessful in finding a solicitor to take your case, then there is no charge to you either as we have been allowed to complete the service, but have failed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, you agree that should you breach these Terms and submit your claim information to another solicitor and/or claims management/referral firm within twenty eight (28) days from the date We receive your full application form, then you will pay GuaranteedCompensation.com a service charge as determined by Us, from time to time, for services rendered by Us. Furthermore, should we be unable to complete that service due to your acts and/or omissions, including but not limited to false information you provided on your application form, then there will also be a service charge payable. Currently, the charge for both instances is £50 to cover administrative costs, and it shall be payable within (30) days of our notifying you of said charge.

11. You agree and acknowledge that if your claim is accepted by one of our Panel Solicitors, then your claim and/or case shall no longer be GuaranteedCompensation.com's responsibility. You further agree that if and when your claim is accepted by one of Our Panel Solicitors all of your communication thereafter shall be directed to said Solicitors and their own staff.

12. You agree that you shall not submit any evidence, documentation, photographs or any other type of materials, regarding your case to GuaranteedCompensation.com either through mail, courier, electronically or any other means. Furthermore, you agree that we shall not be held responsible for the care or control of any information or evidence you may send to our offices. Any and all evidence, documentation, photographs or any other type of materials, regarding your case should be sent to the Panel Solicitor your case has been referred to and only in the instance where that information has been requested by said Panel Solicitor.
