IDEM TRANSLATIONS STANDARD TERMS
- PROJECT TERMS
1.1 Basis for Translation. Idem will translate on the basis of the file(s) listed on page 1 of an Idem quotation. When a PDF is provided by the client, this shall be included in the final certified package. Idem shall assume identical content between native and PDF files provided; any discrepancy discovered during the translation process may be subject to additional charges.
1.2 Project Launch. Projects are launched once Idem has received all project documents in their finalized form, explicit approval of the quotation, and the relevant purchase order (as applicable).
1.3 Turnaround Time. The estimated turnaround time on any Idem quotation is based upon the availability of Idem’s linguistic and layout teams at the time of quote generation. Actual delivery is confirmed at project start and is based upon production schedule at time of order. Turnaround does not include client review. Upon request, documents can be delivered on a staggered basis or rush (additional fees apply). Any materials, approvals, or information received after 3 pm (Pacific Time) will delay project start by one (1) business day.
1.4 Fees. The quoted fee is based upon the materials provided. Translation pricing is per English word. Client must provide source files (including graphics, fonts, necessary software, drivers, etc.), as well as text for translation in its finalized form, as appropriate. Any modification of approved project documents is subject to re-quoting or, if received after the launch of the project, constitutes a change in project parameters. For any quote based upon sample documents, final invoice is subject to change in accordance with actual volume.
1.5 Scope Changes and Cancellations. Should Client change the parameters of the project while in progress, Idem reserves the right to apply additional charges and/or extend the deadline accordingly. Should Client cancel the translation after project launch, Client will be obligated hereunder to pay Idem for all work completed prior to Idem having received notification of cancellation. With the exception of the correction of any errors or omissions present in the original delivery, the review and incorporation of any suggested revisions to the translation will be charged hourly at $60/hour. Any deviations from Idem’s client review guidelines will impact hourly estimates provided by Idem.
1.6 Certification. For certified projects, Idem’s certification of accuracy bears the signature of an Idem officer or project manager who certifies the accuracy of the translation based on the company’s quality process. This individual may or may not be personally competent in the subject or the languages involved in the project.
1.7 Invoicing and Payment. Payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice; all projects are invoiced upon initial delivery to the client. Late fees will be applied to unpaid invoices. Idem reserves the right to invoice incrementally with prior notice to the client.
