WE ARE NOT AN
INVESTIGATIVE AGENCY. WE ARE A RESOURCE DIRECTORY!
Our goal is to help those seeking a private investigator to do so,
and to create networking
connections between private investigators. Consider us the "phone book" of
investigators. |

any other site(s) within its domain. (together, the “Service” or
“Services”). We are a listing service only where investigators
contract with the INVESTIGATOR-NETWORK.ORG to place their agency
information on our site and prospective clients can view that
information in order to obtain contact information by which to
interview and potentially engage the services of the Investigative
Agency. The INVESTIGATOR-NETWORK.ORG is not an investigative
