Social Plugins
Vincent Fernandes Translations uses so-called social plugins (referred to as ‘buttons' from now on) of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Depending on the services you use, social networks retrieve several types of information regarding the device you are using (your computer or smartphone) and regarding your internet connection (smartphone number and IP address, internet provider, language and time zone, browser type). When you visit our website, these buttons are deactivated by default, which means that they will not send any data to the respective social networks without your intervention. Only after activation of the buttons, the data exchange will start in the background. Vincent Fernandes Translations has no influence on the content of this data exchange. The retrieved information may vary and be extensive depending on the installation of social media services and/or registration applications on your device, and whether you have accepted this data exchange. This can be information about your operating system, the versions of your hardware and software, settings and identity of your device. Before you are able to use these buttons, you must activate them by clicking on them. They remain active until you deactivate them again or delete your cookies (please refer to the information on ‘Cookies'). Only activate these buttons when you accept the exchange data with and through these social networks. After their activation, a direct link to the server of the respective social network will be established. The contents of the button will then be transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and incorporated in the website. After the activation of a button, the social network can retrieve data, whether you interact with the button or not. If you are logged on to a social network, the network can assign your visit to this website to your user account. If you are a member of a social network and do not wish it to combine data retrieved from your visit to our website with your membership data, you must log out from the social network before activating the buttons. We have no influence on the scope of data that is collected by the social networks through their buttons. The purpose and the extent of the collection of data and its further processing and use by the respective social networks as well as the rights and settings available to you that you can use to protect your privacy are mentioned in the ‘Information concerning the protection of your information’ section of the respective social network.

1°3 Complaints regarding the delivered Service and/or the Translated Work will only be admissible when they are received by Vincent Fernandes Translations per e-mail within 5 working days after delivery to the Client of the Service/the Translated Work and if the complaint is detailed and motivated. If the complaint is not accepted by Vincent Fernandes Translations, Vincent Fernandes Translations will explain why this decision was taken. If the complaint is considered to be admissible by Vincent Fernandes Translations, the responsibility of Vincent Fernandes Translations will be limited to the correction of the inaccuracies. The Client will give Vincent Fernandes Translations sufficient time to correct the inaccuracies in the shortest possible timeframe, but the Client will not have the right to cancel the payment partially or in full. The invoice will always be fully payable within the period as mentioned in 3°7 of the General Terms and Conditions.
By paying an invoice, the Client accepts the delivered Service/the Translated Work. Complaints arriving after the fifth day after delivery of the Service/the Translated Work to the Client will no longer be admissible. With reference to 4°4 of the General Terms and Conditions.
1°4 Vincent Fernandes Translations does not give any guarantee (implicitly or explicitly and including but not limited to) with regard to the suitability of the Service and/or the Translated Work.
1°5 Unless specified in current legislations or stipulations in these General Terms and Conditions, Vincent Fernandes Translations and any Co- workers it might work with are not responsible for any possible damage which might occur, in the broadest way, including to clients or Co-workers of the Client, by using the Service and/or the Translated Work.
This limitation of liability is applicable for, but not limited to, incidental damage, special damage, direct damage, indirect damage, exceptional damage, criminal damage, consequential damage, damage occurred due to loss of income, (temporary) cessation of business activities, loss of data or information or the loss of any kind whatsoever arising from the execution of the Agreement between Vincent Fernandes Translations and the Client, or related to the services of Vincent Fernandes Translations, or the loss of rights for the use of the Translated Work.
1°6 Vincent Fernandes Translations will not be obliged to continue the accomplishment of the Service if Vincent Fernandes Translations considers this to be a breach of the guarantees given by the Client in 2° of the General Terms and Conditions or thinks that this would involve an illegal deed or a risk of safety at its own discretion.
1°7 Vincent Fernandes Translations will not be responsible for the correction of errors or omissions which were inherent to the original Definitive Text and which could affect the quality of the Translated Work.
1°8 Vincent Fernandes Translations is allowed to use subcontractors to fulfil some or all of Vincent Fernandes Translations’ obligations: in this case, Vincent Fernandes Translations will inform the third parties of the rules of confidentiality and pledges of secrecy and will make sure that they are fulfilled (see 6° of the General Terms and Conditions). Vincent Fernandes Translations is allowed to assign some or all of its rights to third parties.
1°9 Vincent Fernandes Translations may at any time change these General Terms and Conditions. Such changes will be announced on the website.
1°10 Vincent Fernandes Translations will only be bound to deliver a Service after issuing a Confirmation of Order. The sending of an Offer by Vincent Fernandes Translations to the Client, or the sending by the Client of a signed and completed Offer from Vincent Fernandes Translations to Vincent Fernandes Translations does not imply a commitment from Vincent Fernandes Translations to perform the Service. With reference to 3°2 of the General Terms and Conditions.
1°11 Offers remain valid for 30 days. Offers are always expressed in euros.
2° RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY OF THE CLIENT
2°1 The choice of the Client to let Vincent Fernandes Translations execute the Service is the Client’s responsibility. Vincent Fernandes Translations will not accept any responsibility if the delivered Service does not comply with the demands or expectations of the Client. With reference to 1°1 of the General Terms and Conditions.
2°2 The Client declares and guarantees
- that they are the owner or licensee of (all the components of) the Definitive Text which they supply to Vincent Fernandes Translations;
- that the translation of the Definitive Text and the publication, distribution, sale or any other usage of the Service does not imply an infringement of copyrights, trademarks or patents of third parties;
- that the supplied Definitive Text is of good quality (Vincent Fernandes Translations requires this declaration since the translation or borrowing of a text generated by a machine translation service forms an insufficient basis to supply a translation which complies with the expectations of the Client). Vincent Fernandes Translations is, however, prepared to revise a translation which was generated by machine translation software, but only if the source text was not generated by machine translation software and if the generated target text is of decent quality. Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to determine whether the target text is of decent quality;
- that the Definitive Text does not imply an infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties in a direct or indirect way.
2°3 The Client agrees to indemnify immediately and as long as required Vincent Fernandes Translations or any Co-workers or third parties that it might hire to execute the Service at the request of Vincent Fernandes Translations in case of procedures, claims, suffered losses or damage, (legal) costs and expenditures which would arise in a direct or indirect way to the detriment of Vincent Fernandes Translations or its Co-workers or to the detriment of third parties that Vincent Fernandes Translations or its Co-workers might hire to execute the Service, as well as any committed violation by Vincent Fernandes Translations, its Co-workers or third parties that Vincent Fernandes Translations might hire to execute the Service, due to
- the use, or simply the possession, by Vincent Fernandes Translations or its Co-workers or third parties that Vincent Fernandes Translations might hire to execute the Service, of the Material (for instance, for Vincent Fernandes Translations to be able to make an Offer or deliver a Service) or the Definitive Text which was supplied by the Client (or their Co-workers) to Vincent Fernandes Translations for whatever reason, including the infringement of the rights of intellectual property of a third party or of such material;
- any violation by the Client of the given guarantees by the Client as specified in 2° of the General Terms and Conditions;
- the violation by the Client of the General Terms and Conditions with regard to the delivery of a Service. 2°4 The Client agrees not to use the Service/Translated Work for illegal or immoral purposes.
2°5 The Client accepts and agrees that all the Material which is supplied by the Client to Vincent Fernandes Translations per e-mail or electronic way and that the Translated Work which Vincent Fernandes Translations supplies to the Client per e-mail or electronic way can be intercepted, even if it was encrypted, and that Vincent Fernandes Translations is not responsible for the loss, damage or interception of the Material or Translated Work which was received or sent per e-mail or electronic way.
2°6 All rights, claims on and interests regarding the Definitive Text and the Service/Translated Work and any or all patent/certified rights, copyrights, know-how and trade secrets in the Definitive Text or the Translated Work are and remain the exclusive property of the Client. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Client agrees and recognizes that Vincent Fernandes Translations is the only owner of all rights, claims and interests with regard to its own methodology, information, software and databases used to translate the Definitive Text, as well as of all inventions, methodologies, innovations, know-how and databases developed by Vincent Fernandes Translations during the translation of the Definitive Text, including each and every patent right, certified right, copyright, know-how and trade secret.
2°7 The Client is only entitled to ask indemnification from Vincent Fernandes Translations if Vincent Fernandes Translations has deliberately caused damage: in this case, proof of the so-called deliberately caused damage is to be delivered by the Client.
3° PRICE AND PAYMENT
3°1 The Client can ask for an Offer for a translation by sending the Definitive Text which needs to be translated per e-mail. Inquiries for an Offer can be discussed over the phone, but the final Offer will always be sent per e-mail.
Vincent Fernandes Translations needs to receive all the supporting and accompanying information, such as terminology lists, in digital form from the Client with the Definitive Text to be able to make an Offer as accurately as possible. If the Client requires a specific writing style, the Client must inform Vincent Fernandes Translations in the offer request (with examples, if necessary) in order to avoid correction of the translation afterwards.
Vincent Fernandes Translations will therefore not be responsible for translations which do not meet the Client’s expectations afterwards.
3°2 Vincent Fernandes Translations will produce a non-binding Offer for any Service and send it to the Client. If Vincent Fernandes Translations is of the opinion that it cannot produce an accurate Offer because the Material or the Definitive Text supplied by the Client is not sufficient, Vincent Fernandes Translations will inform the Client. The Offer is always exclusive of VAT.
If the Client accepts the Offer, they can confirm this by completing the Offer, signing it and sending a scanned version by e-mail or by post to Vincent Fernandes Translations, or by sending an e-mail to Vincent Fernandes Translations which states: ‘I (full name), in the capacity of the person authorized to do so, confirm, (on behalf of (name of the company/organisation if applicable, in case the Client is a company/organisation)), my agreement to have Vincent Fernandes Translations execute the Service described in the Offer with number … as per the conditions set in the Offer. Name: .................................................. .’. Additions, comments and/or adaptations to Vincent Fernandes Translations' original Offer should be mentioned separately to Vincent Fernandes Translations by e-mail with reference to the relevant offer number and will not be considered as binding unless Vincent Fernandes Translations confirms that they were accepted in writing. After receiving the written confirmation of acceptance of the Offer, Vincent Fernandes Translations will send a Confirmation of Order to the Client with the copy of the Definitive Text received from the Client, which will be used as the source text to execute the Service. The price is always based on the received Definitive Text.
The Client confirms that the Offer will only be signed and filled out by a person authorized to do so. If an Offer was not signed and filled out by a person authorized to do so, Vincent Fernandes Translations will not be responsible for any disputes which might occur as a result and the Service will be executed as per the General Terms and Conditions.
Nothing appearing on Vincent Fernandes Translations’ website or brochures, including commercial information, can be considered as an Offer or binding for Vincent Fernandes Translations.
3°3 The calculation of the price to execute the Service is determined by the number of words in the source text (the Definitive Text) and/or the level of difficulty (field, terminology) and/or the language combination (source language and target language). If the request of the Client consists of more than pure translation work, Vincent Fernandes Translations will inform the Client and have the right to invoice separate costs for the extra services. The number of words in the source text is determined by Vincent Fernandes Translations’ translation software and is non-negotiable. If no agreement can be reached with regard to the number of words, Vincent Fernandes Translations will not accept the translation brief. The number of words is clearly determinable during the whole translation process. The Client will be asked to approve any changes in the number of words.
3°4 Vincent Fernandes Translations will apply the prices as mentioned in the Offer. Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to adapt these prices: this is applicable for any Offer as long as the Confirmation of Order has not been issued.
3°5 Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to invoice additional costs
- in case the Client asks for additional services and/or changes the initial instructions after they have received the Confirmation of Order;
- in case Vincent Fernandes Translations can prove and motivate that the size of the Service to be executed becomes much vaster due to any ambiguity in, and/or inaccuracy in, and/or the absence of, instructions of the Client. In such cases, Vincent Fernandes Translations will first contact the Client to report this. If the Client does not agree, Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to stop the further execution of the Service/the Order, by which the execution of the Service/the Order is considered as cancelled without the need for Vincent Fernandes Translations to pay any compensation whatsoever to the Client. In this case, the Client will be able to receive all available executed Services from Vincent Fernandes Translations after payment as per the prices mentioned in the Confirmation of Order;
- for the execution of (urgent) Services in the weekend, outside the normal working hours or on official holidays. Normal working hours means from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
3°6 Vincent Fernandes Translations will also invoice the Client for taxes and costs which Vincent Fernandes Translations is legally obliged to invoice. The Client will immediately and fully reimburse all fines and/or interests and/or damages that might occur at the expense of Vincent Fernandes Translations, directly or indirectly, due to late payment by the Client of these taxes and/or costs to Vincent Fernandes Translations. All of Vincent Fernandes Translations’ invoices are set up and payable in euros. The registration of Vincent Fernandes Translations’ invoices in Vincent Fernandes Translations’ Journal of Outgoing Invoices forms refutable proof of the sending to and receiving from the Client of Vincent Fernandes Translations’ invoices. Bank costs accompanying payments made by the Client to Vincent Fernandes Translations will be at the Client’s expense. If these costs were automatically charged to Vincent Fernandes Translations’ account, they will be invoiced to the Client with reasonable administrative costs.
3°7 Vincent Fernandes Translations’ invoices must be paid within 30 days. Vincent Fernandes Translations’ invoices are always sent digitally to the Client with the Translated Work. If the Client does not receive the invoice at the time of receiving the Translated Work, this is due to a mistake on Vincent Fernandes Translations’ behalf and does not mean in any way the waiver of legitimate billing of the executed Service by Vincent Fernandes Translations. Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to invoice the execution of Services worth more than €500,00 in separate invoices of €500,00 or according to the progress of the work without having to pay extra costs to the Client.
3°8 In case invoices are not paid within the foreseen term of payment as mentioned under 3°7 of the General Terms and Conditions, the following terms are applicable:
- the Client must pay Vincent Fernandes Translations an interest rate of 8,5%, starting from the due date of the invoice until the day of complete payment of all claimed amounts and/or unpaid invoices, to be increased with VAT if applicable;
- the Client must pay Vincent Fernandes Translations a flat-rate compensation of 15% of the total worth of the invoice with a minimum of €25 which will be invoiced to the Client in case the payment of the outstanding and unpaid invoice has not been received by Vincent Fernandes Translations within 5 days after the sending of the first payment reminder, to be increased with VAT if applicable;
- the Client is also obliged to pay Vincent Fernandes Translations flat-rate compensation of €5 per payment reminder sent to the Client, to be increased with VAT if applicable;
- all amounts due to Vincent Fernandes Translations by the Client are immediately claimable and payable by right;
- in case of debt collection, the extrajudicial costs amount to 15% of the total claim with a minimum of €150,00, to be increased with VAT if applicable;
- Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to receive compensation for all extra expenses of judicial and extrajudicial collection charges which surpass the amounts mentioned in 3°8 (such as attorney and collection fees) and which Vincent Fernandes Translations feels compelled to incur to collect the money it must receive, and this from the moment Vincent Fernandes Translations has consigned debt recovery to a third party.
3°9 All agreements with Vincent Fernandes Translations are submitted to the following dissolving conditions: without prejudice to the Client’s obligation to pay all outstanding invoices and invoices yet to be issued for Services already executed by Vincent Fernandes Translations, an agreement is dissolved
(a) in case Vincent Fernandes Translations is dissolved or stops its business;
(b) in case the Client is subject to a procedure of bankruptcy or liquidation, or in the event of suspension of payments;
(c) without prior formal notice of default for the entire or partial inexecution of the Service, without prejudice to other provisions in the General Terms and Conditions, in the event that the Client does not pay the invoices on the due date;
(d) without prior formal notice, in case there are objective reasons proving arising problems with regard to the Client’s solvency or liquidity (such as bankruptcy, contested drafts, apparent insolvency, the Client or third parties paying late, the Client requesting collective debt settlement, confiscation of (personal) belongings…).
3°10 In case the Client does not pay the invoices in due time, Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to stop the execution of the Service of the current Order as well as of all other received orders from the Client for which the translation and/or revision might already have been started, notwithstanding all our other rights and possibilities. The Translated Work remains property of Vincent Fernandes Translations until complete payment of all invoices, including any possible taxes and interests.
3°11 Any protests against invoices should arrive within five days, in writing and by registered mail. Every invoice which is not protested against within five days will be considered as accepted. Complaints do not influence terms of payment. The unconditional payment of even part of an invoiced amount will be considered as an acceptance of the invoice. The Client will not be relieved of their obligation to pay all outstanding debts to Vincent Fernandes Translations if they do not have a bank account (which belongs to them), or if the Client is unable to pay using a bank transfer for whatever reason. The fact that Vincent Fernandes Translations does not offer its clients an online payment system (debit cards, credit cards etc.) to pay outstanding invoices does not relieve the Client of their obligation to pay their outstanding invoices to Vincent Fernandes Translations. A protested invoice does not influence terms of payment if Vincent Fernandes Translations has declared the invoice unfounded and has justified that decision.
4° DELIVERY
4°1 The Offer contains a probable, though non-binding, delivery time from which Vincent Fernandes Translations can deviate if necessary. Nevertheless, Vincent Fernandes Translations will execute the Service in the shortest possible timeframe. In case the delivery time of the Translated Work or the Service, in its entirety or partially, does not meet the Client’s expectations, Vincent Fernandes Translations will not be responsible for any adverse consequences that might result from this for the Client and the Client will not have the right to refuse and/or not to pay for the delivery of the Service/Translated Work or the execution of the Service in its entirety or partially.
4°2 The sending of the Translated Work per e-mail or by post to the Client counts as the delivery of the Translated Work. The risk transfer to the Client will take place when Vincent Fernandes Translations delivers the Translated Work. Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the privilege of unpaid supplier with regard to the ordered Service by the Client at any time as per the Confirmation of Order, to be applied with respect to third parties by fulfilling the formalities set by the legislations for this purpose.
4°3 Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to refuse translation briefs and does not have to justify such refusals.
4°4 The Client must check, at their own expense, the Translated Work or Service for alleged translation errors which might cause adverse consequences to them in any possible way and/or which might compromise safety in any way or for whatever reason. As a professional translator, Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right not to accept these alleged translation errors by writing a motivated report. In case of alleged translation errors, the Client will not have the right to refuse and/or not to pay for the delivery of the Translated Work or the execution of the Service in its entirety or partially. If the Client insists that Vincent Fernandes Translations corrects the alleged translation errors, even if Vincent Fernandes Translations does not consider them to be translation errors, the full responsibility will be for the Client and Vincent Fernandes Translations reserves the right to ask for additional compensation in the form of an hourly wage. Adaptations with regard to style (e.g. synonyms or personal preferences) and/or with regard to specific terminology (particularly terms which are specifically related to (the activities of) a specific company) will not be considered as translation errors. Such terminology must be submitted to Vincent Fernandes Translations in advance with the Definitive
Text and the translation brief.
With reference to 1°1 of the General Terms and Conditions. In case of confirmed acceptance in writing of alleged translation errors by Vincent Fernandes Translations, Vincent Fernandes Translations’ only obligation will consist of the correction of the alleged translation errors in the shortest possible timeframe and this based on clear instructions given to Vincent Fernandes Translations by the Client, without the need for Vincent Fernandes Translations to pay any form of compensation to the Client.
In any case, the Client must protect themselves from any form of responsibility which rests with them when using the Translated Work. With reference to 1°3 of the General Terms and Conditions.
5° INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT
Subject to full payment of all our invoices regarding the Service, all intellectual property rights and/or copyrights of the Service are property of the Client. If the Client confirms an Order with Vincent Fernandes Translations, this implies that the Client grants a license to Vincent Fernandes Translations to keep and use the Material during the whole period of the execution of the Service. With reference to 2°6 of the General Terms and Conditions.
Any pictures, logos and texts displayed on Vincent Fernandes Translations’ website are protected by copyright and may not be copied, downloaded or used without written permission from Vincent Fernandes Translations.
6° CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
Vincent Fernandes Translations agrees not to divulge any Material/any information which was submitted per e-mail and/or by post by the Client to Vincent Fernandes Translations, except in the following cases:
- when it is required by law or requested by an official body: in this case, Vincent Fernandes Translations will inform the Client;
- when Vincent Fernandes Translations feels obliged to submit some Information to its Co-workers: in this case, Vincent Fernandes Translations will make its Co-workers sign a declaration of secrecy. The Client can request the secrecy agreement used by Vincent Fernandes Translations at any time for consultation purposes and before submitting any Material/information to Vincent Fernandes Translations. If the Client did not raise any objections with regard to the declaration of secrecy used by Vincent Fernandes Translations, they are fully aware of and accept the declaration of secrecy used by Vincent Fernandes Translations.
In addition, any party will, when executing its obligations, be bound by these General Terms and Conditions to honour the regulations of data protection. When handling data received from the Client per e-mail in the context of the execution of a Service, Vincent Fernandes Translations will handle this data exclusively per any instructions by the Client. Vincent Fernandes Translations will not be responsible for any violation of the rules of confidentiality and/or secrecy by Co-workers appointed by Vincent Fernandes Translations if Vincent Fernandes Translations can prove that this violation was beyond Vincent Fernandes Translations’ control and/or that Vincent Fernandes Translations could not prevent it. Vincent Fernandes Translations is not responsible in any way for Co-workers appointed by the Client.
