Unless otherwise agreed, We will supply the deliverables pursuant to the Order to You by e-mail or via FTP or website address or via a software platform (whether developed or supplied by Us to You) or such other form of delivery as We may notify to You from time to time and We will determine, at our discretion, the most appropriate method of delivery. If the deliverables pursuant to the Order are to be delivered by way of post or courier then this will be specified in the Order. We will not be liable to You or to any third-party for any failure or delay arising out of a failure, delay, error, or omission caused by a postal service or courier in supplying the deliverables pursuant to the Order.

You must notify Us, and We will confirm to You, whether collection of the deliverables from Our premises is possible. Collection times are between 9:00AM and 4:00PM GMT Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays in Scotland.

5.5 Warranty in relation to the Services.

(A) We will not be liable to You for reviewing and/or checking the authenticity of any Customer Content and we will not be liable to You for any modification by You to the Customer Content. You accept and acknowledge that You are solely responsible for ensuring the validity of the Customer Content and providing, where relevant, suitable true copies or extracts of Customer Content.

(B) Where You provide Us with Customer Content for the purpose of notarisation, legalisation, apostille or for any other governmental validation, verification, authentication, or otherwise then You accept and acknowledge that We cannot be liable to You for any rejection or delay caused by a governmental agency.

(C) If the Services include translation or interpretation (whether oral, written, or otherwise) from one language into another language then, unless otherwise agreed between You and Us, such translation or interpretation will be into the mainstream language used by that particular country or community (as specified in the Order). We do not warrant the Services for a particular dialect or in respect of region-specific words or syntaxes unless agreed by Us in writing and specified in the Order.

(D) Unless otherwise agreed in writing between You and Us, We will only warrant the Services for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date that We deliver the Services to You in accordance with clause 5.3. Our warranty shall only extend to the correction, modification, or grammatical/contextual verification of the deliverables pursuant to the Order and You must identify any errors or omissions within the abovementioned period and then We will endeavour to correct errors or omissions that You have notified to Us within a reasonable period of time. No reductions on price will be applicable.

(E) We will endeavour to deliver the Services as closely as reasonably possible to the original source Customer Content having regard to typographical or obvious errors or linguistic variations (including, but not limited to, variation in word count). Unless We and You agree otherwise, the Services will reflect, as closely as reasonably possible, the Customer Content and will not be subject to adaptation, rewriting, or variation but always subject to such element of subjectivity or variation that We deem is reasonable having regard for the type, scope, and context of the Services that You have Ordered from Us.

(F) You accept and acknowledge that, where the Services include (whether in whole or in part) translation of Customer Content from one language into another language then there may be variations or differences in the word count (whether greater or lesser) between the original or source Customer Content and the deliverables pursuant to the Services and Our Quotation shall be, unless specified otherwise in the Quotation, based upon the word count of the language into which We are translating the Customer Content into and shall not be based upon the word count of the original or source Customer Content.

(G) We do not warrant and will not be liable to you for any inaccurate or illegible Customer Content and will not be held responsible for errors or omissions arising from inaccurate or illegible Customer Content. We do not warrant nor underwrite the accuracy or completeness of any scientific, technical, mechanical, or mathematical element of the Customer Content when supplying You with Services. No discount will be applicable.

(H) Where the Services include interpretation or translation from or into a rare language or dialect then (as identified by Us) then We will indicate this on the Order and notify You that We may not have the appropriate qualification to deliver the Services. If You continue with the Order then We do not warrant and will not be liable to You for any errors or omissions arising out of such Services.

(I) Any additional investigations, inquiries, and/or research by Us for You that is not specified in the Quotation and does not form part of the Order (“Additional Work”) shall be subject to additional charges. We will notify You when We deem that Additional Work may be required to deliver the Services to You and provide You with an updated Quotation. If You do not accept the revised Quotation incorporating the Additional Work then We will deliver the Services, so far as is reasonably practical, having regard for Your non-acceptance of the Additional Work. If We deem, at our discretion, that We cannot supply the Services to You without You accepting the Additional Work then We will notify You and refund to You any funds that You paid to Us subject to reasonable deduction of costs incurred by Us.

5.6 We shall not be liable for a breach of any of the warranties under clause 5.5 if:

(A) You fail to notify Us within the warranty period; or

(B) You alter or amend or modify the deliverables pursuant to the Order without Our prior written consent.

If You wish to make a change to the Services You have ordered please contact Us. We will let You know if the change is possible and provide You with a revised Quotation. We will let You know about changes to the price for the Services, the timing for supply/delivery or anything else which We reasonably believe arises as a result of Your requested change. If You accept Our revised Quotation then We will confirm this to You in writing. If You do not accept Our revised Quotation or We fail to confirm Our acceptance then the Order shall not be deemed revised and We will supply the Services as set out in the initial Order.

7.1 Minor changes to the Services. We may change the Service from time to time, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or to incorporate minor technical adjustments such as, but not limited to, regional linguistic considerations, typography, or dialect. These changes should not affect Your general use of the deliverables pursuant to the Services.

7.2 More significant changes to the Services and these Terms. In addition, We may make changes to these Terms or the Services, but if We do so We will notify You before the changes take effect.

8.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery, if applicable, will be as set out in Your Order.

8.2 When We will supply the Services. During the Order process We will let You know when We will supply the deliverables pursuant to the Services to You. Any supply dates We give you are estimates and timing will not be essential.

8.3 If You do not provide Us with information We require. We may need certain information and clarification regarding the original documents from You so that We can deliver the Services to You, for example, Your address or the number of documents that You may need certified or notarised. We will contact You to ask for this information. If You do not give Us this information within a reasonable time of Us asking for it, or if You give Us incomplete or incorrect information, We may either end the Contract or revise the date of delivery for the Services set out in the Order by such period of time as We deem appropriate and reasonable resulting from a delay caused by You or any third-party acting on Your behalf.

13.1 Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Laws. This clause is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under the Data Protection Laws. Insofar as the Personal Data is processed in the European Economic Area, such Personal Data shall be processed in accordance with the UK Data Protection Laws. Insofar as the Personal Data is processed outside of the European Economic Area, such Personal Data shall be processed in accordance with the SCC.

(A) process that Personal Data only on Your documented written instructions unless We are required by the Data Protection Laws to otherwise process that Personal Data. Where We are relying on the Data Protection Laws as the basis for processing Personal Data, We shall promptly notify You of this before performing the processing required by the Data Protection Laws unless those Data Protection Laws prohibit Us from so notifying You;

(B) ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Personal Data are obliged to keep the Personal Data confidential;

(A) We may appoint a third-party processor of Personal Data under this agreement, as detailed in clause 13.6; and

(B) processors of Personal Data provided by you to us may reside outside of the European Economic Area and will be transferred such Personal Data.

13.6 We use our own staff and this party freelance linguists to translate documents. Given the nature of their work, they may not be based in the United Kingdom or EEA. You consent to our transferring them Personal Data contained in material to be translated. We confirm that We have entered or (as the case may be) will enter with a third-party processor into a written agreement We confirm reflects and will continue to reflect the requirements of the Data Protection Laws. We will notify you of any third party processor or processor outside the EEA used by us.

13.7 We may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice, revise this clause by replacing it with any applicable controller to processor standard clauses or similar terms forming part of an applicable certification scheme (which shall apply when replaced by attachment to this agreement).

13.8 You agree to indemnify Us and hold Us harmless against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with Your breach of any Data Protection Laws, including (without limitation) as a result of the provision by You to Us of Personal Data or Your breach of this clause 13.

14.1 Notices must be in writing. If You are required to give Us a formal notice, or We are required to give You a formal notice, under the Contract, it must be in writing. That notice must be sent by first class post to: (a) Us, at Our address (see clause 2); or (b) You, at the address You have given Us.

14.2 When is a notice deemed to be received. If a notice was sent by first class post, it will be deemed to be received two (2) days (excluding weekends or bank/public holidays in Scotland) after posting (not counting the day it was posted).

14.3 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer Our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will contact You to let You know if We plan to do this.

14.4 You need Our consent to transfer Your rights to someone else. You may only transfer Your rights or Your obligations under these Terms to another person if We agree to this in writing. We may not agree.

14.5 Nobody else has any rights under the Contract. This Contract is between You and Us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Terms.

14.6 If a court finds part of the Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

14.7 Even if We delay in enforcing the Contract, We can still enforce it later. If We do not insist immediately that You do anything You are required to do under these Terms, or if We delay in taking steps against You in respect of Your breaking the Contract, that will not mean that You do not have to do those things and it will not prevent Us taking steps against You at a later date. For example, if You miss a payment and We do not chase You but We continue to supply/deliver the Services, We can still require You to make the payment at a later date.

14.8 Which laws apply to the Contract and where You may bring legal proceedings. These Terms are governed by the law of Scotland and You may bring legal proceedings in respect of the Services in the Scottish courts.

15.1 These Terms will apply to the Contract between You and Us to the exclusion of any other terms or conditions that You seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

15.2 For administrative convenience You may use Your own pre-printed forms, You agree that no terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with or contained in Your purchase Order, confirmation of Order, specification or any other document shall form part of the Contract between Us except to the extent any such terms and conditions are consistent with these Terms.

16.1 We shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Services (even if caused by Our negligence), nor shall any delay entitle You to terminate the Contract unless such delay exceeds 30 working days.

16.2 If for any reason You fail to accept supply of any of the Services at the time provided for by these Terms, or We are unable to supply the Services on time because You have not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations then the Services shall be deemed to have been supplied and You shall be liable for all related costs and expenses.

16.3 The delivery of the Services, as recorded by Us, shall be conclusive evidence that You were supplied the Services.

16.4 Our liability for non-delivery of the Services shall be limited to resending the Services within a reasonable time or, at our discretion, issuing a credit note on a pro rata rate against any invoice raised for such Services.

17.1 Cancellation charges.

(A) For all Services, except interpretation, if You cancel the Services after We have accepted Your Order then You undertake to pay Us 50% of the total Order price no later than the next working day after the date You cancel Your Order and You will pay Us the balance of the Order no later than two (2) working days after the date that You cancelled the Order.

(B) For interpretation Services only, We will indicate in the Quotation to You the cancellation charges that will apply in the event that You cancel Your Order with Us. By accepting a Quotation that includes interpretation Services You agree to be bound by any cancellation charges that We have detailed in that relevant Quotation.

17.2 Rescheduling charges. You may reschedule or suspend delivery of the Services by notifying Us. You accept that We may charge You for any part of the Services that We have delivered to You prior to the rescheduling or suspension of the Services plus an administration fee of £29.00 per working day while the Services are suspended. The Services may only be suspended by You for a maximum period of five (5) consecutive working days commencing on the next working day falling immediately after the original date of delivery specified in the Order.

17.3 Any administration fee added by Us to Your Order shall form part of the final price.

18.1 The following definitions shall apply to this clause 25:

(A) “Late Payment Compensation” means the fixed sum that We are entitled to charge You in respect of each individual Qualifying Debt (defined below), in accordance with section 5A of the Regulations (defined below).

(B) “Late Payment Interest” means the statutory interest in relation to a Qualifying Debt (defined below) in accordance with section 4 and section 6 of the Regulations (defined below).

(C) “Qualifying Debt” has the meaning given to it in section 3 of Regulations.

(D) “Regulations” means the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, as amended by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Scotland) Regulations 2013/77 and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Scotland) Regulations 2015/226 (as amended or replaced from time to time).

(E) “Statutory Period” means the period in which We become entitled to charge You Late Payment Interest in respect of a Qualifying Debt, in accordance with section 4 of the Regulations.

18.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Regulations shall apply to the Contract.

18.3 Subject to clause 25.4, and unless otherwise agreed by Us in writing, payment of the price for the Services shall be paid in full and in cleared funds no later than twenty (20) working day following (i) the date that We issue Our invoice for the Services to You or, (ii) the date on which the deliverables pursuant to the Services delivered or deemed to be delivered (as the case may be) to You, whichever is earlier. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated by Us in writing.

18.4 Time of payment shall be of the essence. Without limiting Our other rights in any way, We reserve the right to suspend supply of the Services and demand immediate payment for all Services which have been ordered or supplied if (a) any payment under any Contract between You and Us, or any Contract We have with any person associated with You, becomes overdue; or (b) We, in Our sole discretion, believe that You may be unable or unwilling to pay for the Services in accordance with these Terms.

18.5 All monies prospectively payable to Us under the Contract shall become immediately due on termination of the Contract, or on the termination of any other contract We have with any other person associated with You.

18.6 You shall make all payments due without any deduction whether by way of retention, set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless You have a valid court Order requiring Us to pay You an amount equal to such deduction.

18.7 If You fail to make any payment due to Us under the Contract by the due date for payment, then, in respect of each individual invoice or part thereof which remains unpaid by the due date for payment, such monies due to Us shall be deemed a Qualifying Debt.

18.8 In respect of each Qualifying Debt, and without limiting Our rights under clause 25, We shall be entitled to charge You Late Payment Interest upon each outstanding invoice, accruing on a daily basis, over the Statutory Period.

18.9 In respect of each Qualifying Debt, once the Late Payment Interest begins to run in accordance with clause 25, We shall be entitled to charge you Late Payment Compensation upon each outstanding invoice.
