Cancellation Policy
If the customer wishes to cancel an in-progress appraisal, they may do so at any time prior to receiving our appraisal.
There is a $75 fee for cancellation. Any and all requested refunds will be issued only after we receive payment of this cancellation fee.
Refund Policy
The fees for any report is not contingent upon any value reflected in the report. We reserve the right to amend the claim if there is an accidental error or omission. There is no guarantee either written or implied of a specific settlement.
Requirements for a refund:
- The client must have made all needed documents available to Autoloss.
- Evidence of filing with the Dept of Insurance and their written response.
We can not guarantee that the insurer will pay the entire claim amount. No guarantee for a full and final settlement has been made either verbal or in writing regarding a full settlement.
If after submitting the appraisal and a demand letter — following our instructions, and pursuing reasonable collection attempts — you are offered a settlement that is less than the cost of our Appraisal fees, we will refund to you the full appraisal fee. Typically, the refund checks take 30 days to process.
Situations where we will not refund your money if you do not receive at least the cost of the appraisal:
- You do not invoke your appraisal rights on a Total Loss (i.e. the appraisal clause)
- You have not followed the reasonable pursuit of the claim; this includes filing a lawsuit for Diminished Value and arriving at a verdict.
- Your vehicle has previous undisclosed damage. In this case, all guarantees are null.
- We cannot offer a refund if the carrier reimbursed you for the appraisal cost.
All unapproved chargebacks will be treated as insurance fraud and referred to the proper authorities.
To qualify for our money back guarantee the following terms and conditions apply to your vehicle:
- Four years old or newer and has less than 90,000 miles.
- It has no prior accident history regardless of whether the accident history was published in a vehicle history report.
- You must own the vehicle and the vehicle must be repaired
- The guarantee is only good for the first 12 months after the claim is started
The following additional terms and conditions apply to our money back guarantee:
- The final settlement of your claim must be less than the appraisal fee.
- You weren’t the at-fault party in the accident.
- The guarantee applies only to 3rd party claims where you submit a claim through the at-fault driver’s insurance company. It does not apply to a 1st party claim where you attempt to make a diminished value claim against your own insurance company.
- The guarantee does not apply to situations where the policy limit was insufficient or already exhausted.
- Leased vehicle’s are not eligible for a money back guarantee.
- You provide proof that you followed all of our negotiation instructions and recommendations including filing the specific insurance commissioner complaint that we send you.
- If we recommend that you file a lawsuit to recover your diminished value and you fail to do so, the money back guarantee does not apply.
- You cannot make a claim under our money back guarantee if the insurance company reimbursed you for the cost of your appraisal report.
- If you signed a release of liability with the insurance company you do not qualify for the money back guarantee.
- All settlements must be verified before any refunds are issued. This may include providing copies of any insurance company settlement checks, correspondence, emails, denial letters etc as well as proof of lawsuit filing and verdict.
- You are not able to get your appraisal fee back if your policy does not have the correct coverage ie the underinsured/ underinsured part of the policy for property damage
- If the diminished value report is turned in and the statue of limitations runs out after the report is completed
- If the vehicle is totaled and you have completed a diminished value claim
- If the insurance company is found to be insolvent or files for bankruptcy we are not able to refund the appraisal fee
