The Client releases the Company from any liability regarding costs, losses, legal expenses, damages, felt either directly or indirectly when these things are a direct result of the Client’s misrepresentations or failure to abide by the obligations they have agreed to follow.
Requests for Services
Clients submitting requests for any type of services from the Company, and who are supplying source materials are bound by the following Terms and Conditions:
There is no Contract in effect until the details of the Project have been outlined. The moment of conclusion of a Contract is the moment when the order is paid and sent, and the Client accepts Terms and Conditions.
The Company may decline, without any fear of legal or other action, to accept any Project request or to provide the Client with requested services. This may be done at the Company’s discretion, and may be done without reviewing provided source materials. This refusal may be related to legality, obscenity, offensiveness, cultural insensitivity, or because the Company deems the request to be inappropriate for another reason.
Illegal Materials and Activities
It is never our intent help anybody commit or participate in illegal activities or possess or distribute illegal materials. If we find any images, content, messages, videos, or audio files that we believe depict illegal activity, we will forward that information to the proper authorities, and cooperate with any resulting investigations.
Provision of Services
The Company will provide requested services upon receiving all fees that the Client is obligated to pay. Services will be provided as they have been outlined in the Contract, and will be done following the Company’s established best practices and procedures.
Clients must provide any and all information that the Company requests. In addition to this, they must ensure that all information submitted is complete and accurate.
The Project is taken into operation only after Company’s submitting of all the details specified by the Client. In case the details of the Project require specification/changes the Company gets in contact with the Client and suggests to make appropriate changes to the Project Details and, if necessary, discusses additional payment or refund.
Translation cost is calculated using word count. Any exceptions will be detailed in writing.
The Company offers tiered service levels when it comes to quality. The onus for selecting the appropriate service level is on the Client. The Company will select the appropriate Independent Contractor and instruct them to provide services in accordance with the Client’s selection. Neither the Company nor the Independent Contractor are obligated to ensure that the Client has made the correct choice.
In the event that the word count should increase or the nature of the work involved turns out to be different than what was originally agreed upon, the Company is not responsible for completing the Project under the initial terms. If this happens, the Company will provide a modified quote to the Client. In addition to this, the deadline may be changed as well. The Client may request a refund if the new terms are not acceptable to them.
The deadline will be calculated based on the urgency, selected on the order-form while placing an order. The final deadline is settled after the project is paid.
Due to scheduling and staffing, requests for services that are made on Sunday may not be processed that day. This could result in a slight delay in completion of services. Should this be the case, the Client will be informed of this as early as reasonably possible on Monday.
The Company is not responsible for editing, fact checking, proofreading, or otherwise verifying that any source materials are free from error. The Independent Contractor also has no obligation to find errors, to correct them, or inform the Client that they exist. Neither the Company nor the Independent Contractor are responsible for any loss of quality in the final product due to errors in source material.
Please be aware, that in case of certified translations the translation service provides a direct translation of the content to target language, and makes no evaluation of grades or currency conversions and other similar data interpretation.
The Company will release all completed deliverables to the Client when all work is complete, and they have received all payments due.
Completed Deliverables will be sent to the Client using the means the Company has established, or as they are outlined in the Contract. In addition to this, the Company will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that materials are delivered on time. However, the Company does not accept any liability relating to the delay of the delivery of materials.
Payments and Charges
The Client is obligated to pay all fees related to their Project. Unless alternative arrangements are made, Clients are expected to render the total amount due before services will begin. All fees are outlined in the Project Details of the Contract, unless another agreement has been made.
Clients must make payments in full without deductions.
Any duties, taxes, V.A.T., and other fees that apply will be added to the total of the fees.
In some cases a deposit will be required. If the Client chooses to pay by credit card, a third party payment processor will retain the card information. When the Project is complete, the card will be charged for the agreed amount minus the deposit that was previously made.
The Client is not entitled to make any deductions or withhold payment for any reason.
Revision Policy
The goal of info@precisiontranslates.com Administrators, Translators, and Customer Support Team is to provide accurate translations of any document and to get those ordered products back to the Customer within the specified period of time.
Since our translations are conducted by humans, and each piece is then reviewed and edited by a QA Specialist, it is quite rare that a Customer is not fully satisfied with the deliverables.
There are, however, some rare occasions in which a Customer may request a revision to a product they received.
The Customer will have 14 calendar days (for orders with a Basic package) and 30 calendar days (for orders over 10,000 words with a Basic package and all orders with Professional and Premium packages) to review the translated work. In multilingual projects, the total word count of the source file(s) is counted.
The Revision Request Process
- A revision request may be submitted in writing via info@precisiontranslates.com or personal account on the website within the time frame that this policy requires.
- Should a Customer submit a request via telephone, they will be asked to follow up that request with a written explanation of the details of the revisions needed.
- It is obligatory for the Customer to provide a document where the mistakes and necessary corrections are clearly identified.
When a Revision Request Becomes a New Order
- If a revision request involves additional materials, and those materials were not a part of the original order, the Customer should prepare a new order containing the additional materials.
- If new materials are not lengthy or complex, then the Customer should discuss the revision request with the Customer Support Team. Chances are, this request can be charged based on the proofreading rates.
As stated above, it is our goal to attain full Customer satisfaction with every order they place. As much as possible, we will work with any Customer who needs revisions. If those revisions have resulted from our errors, they are free of charge. However, if they represent changes or additions to the original order, they may become a new order.
Refund Policy
The Customer who ordered a translation with a Basic package will have 14 calendar days to review the translated work. All projects with Professional and Premium packages and projects with a Basic package over 10,000 words obtain a 30-day approval period.
In multilingual projects, the total word count for all language pairs of the project is counted.
If the Customer does not take any action within the specified period, the translation will be considered “Approved,” and the Translator will be paid for their work. After this period of time, no revisions or refunds will be provided.
Other options may be specified in the Agreement with the Customer.
Intellectual Property Rights
We acknowledge that any documents, videos, audio tapes, files, or other materials that we receive from our Clients is the intellectual property of those Clients and that they maintain sole ownership of the original items.

We do not at any time make a claim of ownership or rights to any materials provided to us for translation. The owners and employees of this website are not liable if customers opt to misuse any materials we have translated.

Copyright Infringement

Dissemination of False Information

Resolving Disputes

In the event of the dispute, both the Company and the Client agreed to use all the possibilities of solving the conflicts without recourse to legal proceedings. If within 30-days from the moment of starting a dispute the parties haven’t come to the agreement, one of them can initiate its solving in the court.

The Company is not liable in any way if they fail to perform contracted obligations or there is a delay in the delivery of services due to an event falling under the umbrella of Force Majeure.
