In these Terms of Services, unless otherwise interpreted:
No terms or conditions other than those set out herein nor any variation thereof shall be binding on the Company unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by a director of the Company. These terms of service shall be incorporated or accepted online in every quotation, order, acceptance and contract for work by us subject to the foregoing; any terms or conditions proposed by the Client are hereby excluded.
The content of the website, digital assets, brochures, advertisements and other promotional forms are of generic information in nature and they shouldn’t be considered as any agreement, or this terms of service.
MTPE output differs from human translation output
Translation through a MTPE process used by Ailaysa may NOT be as accurate and fluent as a human translated output, though the output would be edited by a human expert editor. This important nature and difference of MTPE should be kept in the mind before ordering a project with Ailaysa.
MTPE outcome may differ from human translation in any manner, though the MTPE output will qualify the standards mentioned in the section, “Expected Standards.”
Not all kinds of content and all copies of content are suitable for a MTPE service, with the same level of outcome. Before or during the order process, either the buyer could check for the eligibility of the content for MTPE or the Ailaysa could discuss before accepting or refusing the project based on the nature of the source text. This may vary of purpose, intended use, language, deadline, availability of editors and many other factors. Ailaysa has the right to accept or refuse an order, pre-paid or payable later. If pre-paid and order is refused, 100% payment would be returned to the buyer.
The services of Ailaysa are undertaken with the standard practices applied by both the employees and third-party vendors who are employed by Ailaysa for your project.
All service requests must be accompanied by an order including the price established by the parties. This order must be sent to us by automatically created online process, regular mail, or email; we reserve the right to refuse to start a job without an order.
The client shall clearly indicate the purpose of the translation and intended use of it in writing during the order process and/or on demand by the Ailaysa employees when the project is under progress.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, all orders are pre-paid with 100 percent advance payment and subject to revision by during or completion of project if scope of the project changed or different from the original order.
The cost of a translation shall be calculated using a count of words in the source language, unless otherwise previously established in writing.
Unless explicitly agreed up, NO translation memory will be used to arrive at the quote. To eligible for TM use and pricing, the buyer should inform during the order process and Ailaysa may or may not consider it after a due analysis. Once order is placed, the pricing system doesn’t change.
If the quote is generated automatically during the order process with our website, the quote is considered tentative and the payment is considered as advance. Any change in the scope of the project could affect the final invoice.
If the quote has any errors due to the technologies/tools used to count the units, comparing any human processed assessment of units, the human assessment will be the final.
If the source content consists of any non-translatable content, the buyer should inform it in advance and the company would accept or refuse if to omit them from quotable units, depending upon the status of the project. This is done with a sole discretion of the company and reasonable practices would be used to do so.
Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
The quote, pricing and final invoice may be amended when factors including the following ones are changed:
All requests should be made in writing and within the process the project managers use for your projects.
MTPE quality guarantees are as follows
1.The MTPE output of Ailaysa is offered as a ‘lite MTPE’, unless otherwise agreed upon
2.The final output of the process will be free from any grammatical and translation errors objectively
3.The choice of linguistic elements, including words, phrases, terminology, sentence style etc shouldn’t be considered as errors, as they could be in the nature of subjective decision.
4.MTPE is not considered a viable option for publishable or submitting use for creative texts including advertisement and fiction, and critical texts including legal document and medical text. The client is advised to judge the need and outcome before ordering for a project.
5.The instructions and terms agreed during the ordering process or project management time will be followed. If any terminology or style guide to be followed, it would be explicitly requested during the order process and may incur additional charges if required.
6.Objective industry standards on every aspect of the final outcome will be applied in general.
If you aren’t satisfied with the outcome, you have the right to request for changes. If the changes are objective, Ailaysa will revise them. If the changes are subjective and choice-centric, the company may revise them either at free of cost or additional cost as agreed upon again.
Complaints on the quality of the outcome should be made within 5 working days, and requests of revision will consume a new turnaround time that would be agreed upon during the complaint stage.
1.Once delivered, NO reimbursement is acceptable if paid in advance or no cancellation of invoice is possible if billed once.
2.Once requested after a partial delivery, the competed parts of the project should be paid or payable
If the Client for any reason cancels work which has been commissioned, charges will be payable for all the completed work up to the cancellation date and for all other costs and expenses which may accrue as a result of such cancellation
If the Client suspends or postpones work commissioned for a period of 21 days or more, charges will be payable for all commissioned work up to the date of suspension or postponement and for all other costs and expenses which may accrue as a result of such suspension.
The company reserves the right of subcontracting or outsourcing the whole or part of the project to any third party, who is contracted to undertake the processes related to your project.
The deadlines (dates and time) agreed by the company for partial or full deliveries are estimates only. The company will make every possible effort to honor the deadlines but shall not be liable to make good any damage or loss, whether arising directly or indirectly out of its failure to meet such estimated dates.
if a delivery has not taken place by an agreed deadline, no charge will be made and no contract will be considered cancelled.
Also, while we make all possible efforts to make the deadlines to be honoured, a change of actual deliveries to the clients doesn’t entitle the client to change and withhold the payments. Changes of deadlines are informed in advanced if the project managers have reasonable information obtained beforehand. However, in some cases, the company may not have any prior information.
If your project is partially or wholly sub-contracted to a third party, we will not be liable in any circumstances for the consequences of failure to deliver or perform, if the delay or failure is due to the non-delivery or non-performance of the third parties.
In case of Force Majeure (Strike, Lockout, Industrial Dispute, Civil Commotion, Natural Disaster, Acts of War and any other situation which can be shown to have materially affected the company’s ability to deal with the order from the Client) the Company shall notify the Client without delay, indicating the circumstances. Force Majeure shall entitle both the Company and the Client to cancel the order but, in any event, the Client undertakes to pay the Company for work already completed. The Company will assist the Client, to the best of its ability, to complete their order.
Delivery is deemed to have taken place by emailing, that consists the delivery files either as links or attachments, or updated in the vendor portal, as the case may be, and the risk shall pass to the Client. However, the Company will retain a copy of the translation and, in the event of there being any loss or damage, will forward a further copy free of charge.
Although an urgency surcharge may be levied on urgent translations, because such urgency may preclude the necessary time to check and qc the translation, the Company will not accept any liability for any work submitted on an urgent basis. Should such completion of work necessitate overtime being worked or other additional costs being incurred, a charge will be made to cover the increased cost.
Unless otherwise stated, prices are in USD, EUR, GBP or INR (not necessarily they are available at all times and all users) and are exclusive of value added tax or GST. We shall invoice you for all appropriate taxes, fees and expenses for which we are liable to collect. You shall be liable to pay any penalties or interest on such taxes which are payable by us as a result of your delay in paying such charges.
Payment is requested by Paypal or any payment gateways online. Cheques and direct bank transfers are accepted once agreed upon by both parties, as specified in writing on the quotes or invoice. All payments shall be made without deduction or set-off of bank charges.
Where credit accounts are opened for a Client, payment must be received within 14 days of the date on which the invoice is issued unless specifically agreed in writing by a director of the Company. Discounts included on quoted prices are only applicable if invoices are paid within 14 days of issuance of invoice.
Quotations in a currency other than the one quoted in the ordering documents or quotes/estimates are based on the rate of exchange at the time of quoting and, unless otherwise stated, the price is subject to exchange rate fluctuations at the date of invoice.
Without prejudice to the Company’s other rights, we reserve the right to levy a service charge upto 2 % interest per month on the outstanding amount on all accounts outstanding beyond the due date to cover financial and administrative costs. Should it prove necessary for us to engage the services of debt recovery agents, a surcharge equalling the fees of such agents will be applied to the outstanding amount unpaid to recover the costs.
Failure to pay any invoice in accordance with these terms of service or any others specified in writing at the time, shall entitle us to suspend further work both on the same order, and on any other order from you, without prejudice to any other right we may have.
Complaints shall only be taken into consideration if received by registered mail with return receipt within seven days of delivery of the job(s) or part of the job(s). All complaints must be accompanied by the original documents, disputed translations, and a letter of explanation. Once the above time period has elapsed, the service shall be considered correct and final.
