3. Liability

A . Translator’ s Liability

The translator is not liable when delay in performing the work is due to illness , accident, temporary inability to work or general force majeure. The translator must, however, notify the client of this within a reasonable period.

Further, the translator is not liable when the delay is the result of tardy delivery by third parties (courier services, post, etc. ) or when the source text and/or the translation is damaged during shipment. Nor shall the translator be responsible for the loss by third parties (post, courier services) of the source text or the translation.

The translator can accept no responsibility for defects to the text supplied by the client. The translator accepts liability for the quality of the translation made insofar as it is used in its entirety and unchanged.

Ambiguity of in the text to be translated releases the translator from any responsability.

B . Client’ s Liability

Prior or during the execution of the agreement, the client shall provide the translator with all the information necessary for the proper performance of the requested services.
