2. Quotation and entering into an Agreement

2.1 As long as the translations agency Fasttranslator.com has not had the opportunity to assess the nature of the entire document to be translated and/or edited, any Quotation provided in this respect, including the fee and/or delivery date, will be free of engagement and may be withdrawn or modified at any time.

2.2 An Agreement will have been entered into after the Client accepts, either verbally or in writing, a Quotation issued by the translation agency Fasstranslator.com or if the translations agency Fasttranslator.com sends a written confirmation of an Assignment granted by the Client. Written acceptance or confirmation is understood to include an acceptance or confirmation sent by fax and/or email.

2.3 The translation agency Fasttranslator.com will, in principle, confirm the Assignment in writing to the Client. Failure to send confirmation will not imply that the Agreement has not been entered into.

2.4 Unless the Client granting the Assignment explicitly states that he/she is acting by order of, on behalf of, or on account of a third party at the moment the Agreement is entered into and unless he/she states the name and address of this third party, the translation agency Fasttranslator.com will consider the person who has granted the Assignment to the translation agency Fasttranslator.com to be the Client.

2.5 If the translation agency Fasttranslator.com has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Client is not able to meet his/her payment obligations, the translation agency Fasttranslator.com is authorised to request additional security of payment.

2.6 Fasttranslator.com reserves the right to decline to issue a Quote or to provide any translation services if the source materials contain any material which Fasttranslator.com, at its discretion (and without any obligation on the part of Fasttranslator.com to review the source materials for appropriateness, legality, or otherwise), considers to be offensive, obscene, contrary to any law, or otherwise considered by Fasttranslator.com to be inappropriate.

3. Provisions of Services

3.3 Fasttranslator.com has no responsibility to review the quality of the source materials for typographical or other errors and has no liability to review or correct any errors or omissions contained in any source materials, regardless of the nature of such errors or omissions and regardless of the impact that such errors or omissions may have on the quality of the Deliverables.
