Last updated: 29 July 2026. These terms govern use of the CSDA website. Any investigation assignment is governed by a separate written scope or case agreement accepted by the client and the agency.
Website content is general information and is not legal advice. Service availability, methods, timing and cost depend on the facts, location, lawful purpose and written scope of each assignment.
Clients must provide accurate information, disclose the true purpose of the request and avoid requesting unauthorised access, unlawful interception, harassment or any other prohibited activity. CSDA may refuse or stop work when the purpose or method is inappropriate.
Work begins only after the scope, reporting format, estimated duration, fees and payment terms are agreed. Material changes must be discussed and approved before additional work is undertaken.
Reports reflect information available and verifiable during the assignment. No particular finding, recovery, legal result or relationship outcome is guaranteed. Clients should obtain independent legal advice before relying on findings in proceedings.
Case information should be handled according to the agreed confidentiality terms. Website text, branding and original materials may not be republished without permission except where law permits.
Questions about these terms should be raised before engaging a service by contacting CSDA through the details published on this website.
