The Farsi Interpreter will attempt to utilize reference materials and glossaries to a commercially reasonable extent, but there remains the likelihood that You may prefer word insertions or replacements. As such, there may be additional costs associated with the incorporation of differing terms or language into the final translated document.

Should You change the parameters of the project while it is in progress (turnaround time accelerated, source files not provided on time, project’s scope/size expanded, etc.), The Farsi Interpreter reserves the right to apply additional charges and/or extend the deadline in accordance with the changes requested. Furthermore, should You request additional services to be performed such as subjective revisions to language and/or layout, revisions to source files which might affect the target language versions, etc., then such services will be billed in addition to the above.

You must notify The Farsi Interpreter of any concerns with The Farsi Interpreter performance within ten (10) business days of receipt of deliverables via certified letter/return receipt or via electronic mail to an account representative.

Should the You cancel a translation, You will be obligated hereunder to pay The Farsi Interpreter for all work completed prior to The Farsi Interpreter having reasonably received notification of cancellation.

Any interpretation assignment that is cancelled by the client- for any reason, foreseeable or unforeseeable- within 48 hours before the time of the start of the assignment, will cause the Client to be still responsible for the cost of four (4) hours of services rendered, based on the hourly rate of the assignment.
