Off-Contract Artifact Submission
Any current client may submit Client File Artifacts that are added to their general client file, and NOT attached to a specific Contract or Installment Payment Record. These are also referred to as Off-Contract Artifacts.
Submitting Artifacts outside of the Terms of a Bonded Contract is also referred to as "Pre-Loading," as these Artifacts may be attached to future Bonded Contracts as evidence. Only Bonded Contracts may have Artifacts tied directly to individual Installment Payment Records.
Artifacts are only released at the explicit written request of the client as outlined in the general client Confidentiality Agreement, or when required by the terms of an In-Force Bonded Contract.
There is no specific limit to how many Off-Contract Artifacts a client may submit, however those with a low Engagement Level may not have their Artifacts reviewed and approved as frequently.
Clients who have submitted all six of the standard Preliminary Loading Artifacts may apply for a Fully Bonded Contract (Level 9) without first having to complete a Graduated Bonded Contract Term at Level 5.
