Upon deciding to use our services and our
website all our clients are requested to agree to our terms of
service. After placing the order, we do not take any
responsibility if you do not read and understand our terms of
service. Please read our terms of service carefully before
placing your order as our terms of service could change
without notice.
Privacy Protection
We are dedicated to protect our clients' privacy and it is a
major consideration when conducting our translation work. We
do not reveal your information to any third party under any
situation. Also, our clients have the right to send us
documents after without any privacy related information.
Please read our detailed Privacy Policy for further
information.
Estimates and Charges
Many aspects are considered before the translation cost is
determined. Factors such as the contents, technical words,
complexity, base language and targeted language, speed of the
service and the quality are considered when making estimates.
Therefore there is no fixed price. However, for approximate
quotations you can calculate yourself by utilizing the prices
listed on our prices page. Please send your base document to
us by email or Fax if you wish to know an exact price. For
large scale projects, we require detailed information and all
the content to provide you a precise estimate.
Methods of Payment
We accept bank transfers and credit card payments.
Visa/Master/JCB and PayPal accepted.
We request our customers to fill a simple "Letter of
Agreement" when paying by credit cards. The identity of the
card holder is verified in order to decide whether to accept
payments by credit card. This is done to avoid credit card
frauds and to ensure the safety of the credit card holder. We
will not ask your credit card numbers or any other numbers
printed on your card. Your safety is guaranteed 100% since the
card numbers are directly handled by PayPal or the credit card
processing company and they will not disclose your information
to us.
Payments of small orders/projects should be paid when placing
the order. Payments of large scale projects should be paid in
two installments, first half of the cost should be paid at the
time of placing the order and the second half should be paid
in the middle of the project. We will inform you the date when
you are placing the order. For some projects full payment is
requested based on the nature of the project.
Refund Policy
After placing the order, we do not offer full or partial
refunds for any reason. The time of the translators is
consumed and the costs are incurred when the orders are
processed. Therefore, it is not possible to make a refund. If
there are errors/mistakes in the translation, we will correct
them free of charge within a month from the date of delivery.
Delivery Dates
We will inform you the required time to complete the
documents/projects when sending our quotes before placing the
order. We will also let you know the estimated date of
delivery of your order after placing the order and will make
all efforts to guarantee the date of delivery of the completed
documents/projects. However, in the event of unavoidable
circumstances such as computer virus infections, unexpected
data loss, natural disasters, network problems, sudden illness
or death of a translator and other reasons. The estimated
delivery date could be longer in case of such events. In such
an event, we do not take any responsibility for any damages
caused by the late delivery and we do not make full or partial
refunds. If unexpected situations occur we guarantee that we
will send you the completed documents as soon as possible and
that all efforts are taken to avoid such situations. In order
to make sure that you get your completed translations before
the deadline, it is recommended that our clients place orders
before considerable time to the deadline.
Methods of Delivery
We normally deliver documents through email as attachments.
However, it is possible to send and receive documents in
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Text, PDF, html and other
formats. Please inform us if you require a specific format. We
could also FAX free of charge for documents less than 10 pages
and a small charge will be added for over 10 pages. If you
require printed documents or data CDs, the express courier and
postal service is also available but additional charges will
be added according to the country of destination. (The express
delivery by post from Japan to USA, UK or Europe
would cost around US$ 10 to 15 for a 1kg parcel.)
Guarantees and Corrections
We are committed to provide you with a quality service.
However, there could be human errors. Hence, you could request
for a re-check or revision of the documents within one month
from the delivery if there are mistakes or if you need better
expression of the contents. If it is due to our mistakes, we
will do the corrections or make changes free of charge. Also,
we accept small changes free of charge. However, additional
charges will be incurred if many changes are required and when
it is not the fault of our service.
Communication
You could contact us initially by email or Fax. The telephone
service is available only for customers who have already
placed orders. If the customer is from outside Japan and if
there is a great time difference between the two countries, a
time for telephone communication could be prearranged via
email or fax. |
