Basic delivery deadlines
The wording of Act No. 382/2004 allows me to include the days of receiving the order for translation and that of handing over the completed translation s handover into the delivery period. However, I strive to make my best to accomodate my clients as much as possible, I use this possibility only to a limited extent. Despite of this, sometimes the circumstances use to compel me to charge additional extra to my clients for urgent translation. When not agreed otherwise and if possible, my basic delivery deadlines are as follows:
o
- within 2 hours - 1 SP
- within 4 hours - 2 SP
- witin 12 hours - 6 SP
- witin 24 hours - 10 SP
The delivery perios begins from the recept of a binding order ans the delivery of the text to be translated.
I do my best to deliver common personal document translations intended for legal purposes on the same day of their delivery by the client.
