A Verifier shall specifically disclose any affiliation with the faculty, staff, or owner of any child-care operation to which the Verifier may be assigned to examine accreditation data, and represents that upon acceptance of a verification visit assignment, his or her independent judgment shall not be affected by influences inconsistent with independent, impartial examination.
A Verifier represents that he or she is free to enter into an agreement and that a verification visit does not violate the terms of any agreement between the Verifier and any third party.
