Client Terms and Conditions

A General

These terms and conditions (“terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("client") and its translation and any other services provided by A Pro Translation Scandinavia AB (below even called Apro Translation) ("services").

These terms, together with any order (as defined below) that has been accepted by Apro Translation, constitute the whole agreement between the parties, except where the parties have otherwise specifically agreed in writing.

For the purposes of these terms, the following words and expressions shall bear the meanings shown:

i.
A “client” is understood to be any person or legal person who instructs Apro Translation to carry out any translation service(s).

ii.
“client material(s)” means any document or other materials, whether in the form of hard copies, faxes or electronic or other files that the client transmits or otherwise provides to Apro Translation, using the website or other means of communication, that are intended to be the subject of services hereunder.

iii.
“order” means each order or formal request by the client for the provision of services by Apro Translation.

iv.
“translation(s)” means the client material(s) as translated by Apro Translation into the language(s) specified by the client.

B. Quotation, Order and Agreement

The charge for translation(s) is based on word-count, language(s) or language combinations, industry field, response time, whether the client also requests a proof reading and/or other service(s) requested. The word-count shall be determined by Apro Translation, and such determination shall be final and non-negotiable.

All prices and rates quoted are subject to change without notice prior to formal acceptance by Apro Translation of any order. Apro Translation reserves the right to charge for additional services requested by the client after an order has been accepted.

When responding to the client’s request for a translation and/or service, Apro Translation will provide a quote, estimate or fee rate to the client, or otherwise refer to the basis of charges previously agreed with or notified to the client. By accepting the quote, estimate or fee rate, the client accepts these terms and authorizes Apro Translation to proceed with translation of the client material(s).

C. Delivery time and Deadlines

Times for expected receipt of the translation(s) are displayed at the time of order.

Apro Translation will use reasonable endeavours to meet these deadlines but does not accept liability for any delay in delivery. Apro Translation reserves the right to amend the delivery date and will make all reasonable efforts to contact the client if there is any change in the specified delivery date.

D. Translation and services

Apro Translation will not accept any responsibility if the service selected/ordered does not meet the specific requirements of the client (e.q. lack of proofreading).

Apro Translation warrants that translation(s) will meet reasonable commercial standards for translation by a bilingual translator with reasonable skill in translating the concepts and terminology of industry specific text with, if such service forms part of the order, a proofreading by a second translator.

It is understood that translation(s) will not form the substance of any legal agreement without prior review by a competent professional in the country of intended use. Apro Translation will not be liable to correct any errors or omissions that were inherent in the original client material(s) and which may or may not affect the quality of the translation(s).

Apro Translation reserves the right to refuse to translate any client material(s) that is/are of an offensive nature, defamatory, obscene, in breach of any statutory or regulatory obligation, or is/are otherwise considered inappropriate by Apro Translation, in its sole discretion.

E. Payment

Payment is due 20 days from the date of invoice, if no other payment terms are agreed on in writing by both parties.

Payment must be in the currency stated in the relevant invoice.

If the client fails to pay Apro Translation any sum when due pursuant to these terms, the order or otherwise, Apro Translation reserves the right to cancel any discount previously agreed with or offered to the client. Also, the client will be liable to pay interest to Apro Translation on such sum from the due
date for payment at the annual rate of 2% above the base lending rate from time to time of the bank that Apro Translation uses, accruing on a daily basis until full payment is made, whether before or after any judgement. Apro Translation reserves the right to claim interest under laws or regulations applicable in the country where the client is located. If any such sum remains unpaid on the due date, all other outstanding sums payable by the client shall become due and payable immediately.

F. Modification, Return or Cancellation

The client has 3 working days from receipt of the final translation(s) to inform Apro Translation of any errors or omissions contained in the translation(s). Apro Translation will make the necessary corrections
free of charge and within a period which shall equal the period stated for the original order.

If a client wishes to cancel an order not yet delivered this should be done in writing to the clients contact at Apro Translation. Apro Translation will charge the client for part of the service, should the cancellation occur after significant work, determined solely by Apro Translation.
