Terms of service

The terms that apply to this website and to services requested through it. Draft for review — the practice has not yet supplied final legal copy.

01

These terms

These terms apply to the use of this website and to interpreting and translation services requested through it. Requesting a service means accepting them.

02

Quotes and confirmation

A request is not a booking. Rates, duration, and any travel charges are confirmed in writing before an assignment is scheduled, and work begins once that quote is approved.

03

Minimums

A two-hour minimum applies to on-site interpreting and a one-hour minimum to remote interpreting. Time beyond the confirmed schedule is billed separately and is subject to interpreter availability.

04

Cancellation

Cancellation terms are stated in the confirmation for each assignment. Late cancellations may be billed at the confirmed minimum where an interpreter has already been committed.

05

Travel and expenses

Mileage and applicable travel charges are billed separately for on-site services unless different terms have been confirmed in writing.

06

Your responsibilities

Tell us the setting, the language pair, and anything the interpreter needs to know for access. Inaccurate details may make an assignment impossible to fill.

07

Accuracy and scope

Translations are prepared for the intended use stated in the request. A translation prepared for one purpose may not be accepted for another.

08

Certification

Certified translations carry a signed certificate of accuracy. Whether a receiving authority accepts it is that authority’s decision, not ours.

09

Confidentiality

Assignment details and documents are handled confidentially and used only to deliver the requested service.

10

Intellectual property

You retain rights in the documents you send. Site content, marks, and copy remain the property of the practice.

11

Limitation of liability

Liability for any assignment is limited to the fee paid for that assignment, to the extent the law allows.

12

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

13

Changes

These terms may change. The version in force is the one published on this page at the time of your request.
