3. ORDERS, APPROVAL, RETURN POLICY

Any personal information you provide will be subject to the Privacy Policy.

G20Translation will apply gross-up calculation to the payment. This means that the payment to G20Translation must be made in cleared funds, without any deduction or set-off and free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees and withholdings of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority save as required by law. If you are compelled to make any such deduction, you will pay G20Translation any additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by G20Translation of the full amount it would have received but for the deduction.

Order. Customer can initiate an Order by providing all the required information via the Platform, including the Quality Level for your translation as described in the G20Translation website.

Client Materials. Customer is responsible for providing the Client Materials to be translated, materials describing the context of the translation, and all other necessary materials (glossary guide, etc.) when placing the Order. G20Translation may make recommendations on which source materials and in what format to provide source materials, but ultimately the quality of the results will depend on the clarity, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of the Customer’s source materials and instructions provided.

Cancellations. Customer can cancel any Order if the project has not yet been engaged by a Translator. It is not uncommon for an Order to be engaged by a Translator immediately after the Order is placed. To attempt to cancel an Order, Customer can contact G20Translation customer support directly at support@G20Translation.com to inquire if the Order can be cancelled. If the Order has been picked up by a Translator, the Order cannot be cancelled and there will be no refund.

Delivery of Translated Works. G20Translation cannot guarantee that a particular Translator or that any Translator will choose to engage on your Order. If the Order is completed by a Translator, G20Translation will return the Translated Works to Customers according to the quality level specified in the Order.

G20Translation gives an estimated time for Service completion, but cannot guarantee an exact delivery time. We will email you when the Translated Works are ready for your review. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by G20Translation, time is not of the essence for delivery or performance, and no delay shall entitle you to reject any delivery.

Approval or Rejection. Upon G20Translation’s notification of delivery of the Translated Works, Customer will have strictly 120 hours to review the Translated Works. Customer may approve the Translated Works via the Platform or email. If Customer does not take action via the Platform within the 120 hour review period, the Translated Works will be deemed “Approved” and the Translator will be paid for the Translated Works. Once “Approved”, no alterations, revisions, or refunds of the Translated Works will be provided.

Due to the nature of language translation, errors in translations will inevitably occur. Customers may reject the Translated Works within the 120 hour review period if it reasonably determines that it does not meet the Quality Level that was ordered. We will perform a quality audit and typically get back to you within one business day of the rejection. If G20Translation determines that the Translated Works that you have rejected did not meet the quality level specified in the Order, then G20Translation will honor the rejection and provide a retranslation or allow the Order to be cancelled.

G20Translation’s liability will be limited to correcting the errors.

Disclaimer. You agree to review any Translated Works before making such content public, and you expressly agree that G20Translation will not have any liability or indemnity obligations to you based on the Translated Works if you fail to do so.
