1. Nature of Services
VanderMark provides independent, third-party digital credibility assessments based on:
- Publicly available information
- User-submitted materials
- Proprietary evaluation methods
- AI-assisted analysis combined with human review
The Applicant acknowledges that all fees are paid for the execution of the review process itself, not for any specific outcome.
Services may include:
