General Terms & Conditions
The general terms and conditions for interpreters and translators apply in accordance with the recommendations of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (Bundesverband der Dolmetscher und Übersetzer e. V. - BDÜ).
1. Scope of application
These terms and conditions apply to contracts between the translator and his client, unless otherwise expressly agreed or required by law. General terms and conditions of the client are only binding for the translator if he has expressly accepted them.
2. Placing and executing orders
All orders are properly executed in accordance with the principles of the professional and honorary regulations of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ).
Before placing the order, the client will receive a free, non-binding offer by email, which will be created by the translator on the basis of the text to be translated or a representative excerpt of the document as well as the additional and background information provided by the client.
The offer contains the following information:
- Type of translation (with or without certification)
- Source and target language
- Price calculation
- Surcharges (urgent orders, terminology research, other additional services)
- Format of the text to be translated, special formatting requests
- Delivery date
An offer is confirmed in writing, usually by e-mail. Mail or letter; no changes may be made to the offer. If the translator does not receive a confirmation of the offer, he reserves the right not to begin his service until it has been received.
The offer remains valid for four (4) weeks.
If the client makes changes to the order after the offer has been prepared, the translator reserves the right to change the final price of the service and / or the delivery date.
The translation is delivered in one of the common formats (usually Word and PDF); If necessary, special formats can be edited or created in cooperation with an external graphic design office. Delivery can be made by post, e-mail, in printed form or on CD or data stick. Additional costs may be incurred for processing by the external graphic design office and for certain forms of transmission. The translator must inform the client of this in advance.
The price calculation is as follows:
To calculate the price, the number of standard lines, words or pages is determined using MS Word.
A standard line corresponds to 55 characters with spaces.
A standard page consists of 30 standard lines.
As a rule, billing is based on the translated text (target text).
However, an offer can also be based on the text to be translated (source text), provided this is available in a countable format.
The price calculation can also be based on working hours.
The provision of services such as proofreading of third-party translations (editing) is billed on an hourly basis.
A fixed price can also be agreed on this basis.
3. Obligation to cooperate and provide information on the part of the client
The client shall provide the translator with all information and documents necessary to create the translation in good time (intended use, terminology, translation memories, existing translations or previous versions, illustrations, drawings, tables, Abbreviations, etc.).
The client also informs the translator about the desired implementation of the translation (format, layout, etc.). Errors and delays resulting from the lack of or delayed delivery of information material and instructions are not at the expense of the translator. If agreed with the client, a final check is carried out using the dual control principle before the translation is approved by the translator. Names and numbers are to be checked by the client.
If the translation is intended for printing, the client will provide the translator with a proof in good time before going to press so that the translator can eliminate any errors or have them eliminated by the external graphic design office.
4. Delivery deadline
The agreed delivery date can only be met if the client sends the translator a confirmation within two (2) working days of receiving the offer and provides him with all the documents and information necessary to process the order. If this deadline is exceeded, the translator is free to postpone the delivery date.
5. Involvement of third parties
The translator is entitled to use a third party to carry out the order (e.g. final inspection using the dual control principle). Expert third parties are subject to confidentiality (see 10. Professional secrecy and data protection) and work at their own risk and account.
6. Defects
The client must notify the translator of any deficiencies in the translation in writing, stating the exact deficiency. The translator reserves the right to rectify defects. If this does not take place within a reasonable period of time, or if the translator refuses to remedy the defect, or if the remedy is to be regarded as having failed, the client can, after hearing the contractor, have the deficiencies remedied by another translator at the latter's expense or, alternatively, request a reduction in remuneration or withdraw from the contract resign. The rectification of defects is deemed to have failed if the translation continues to show comprehensible defects after two attempts at rectification.
Claims by the client against the translator due to defects in the translation must be reported within five (5) working days of delivery of the translation. After this period has expired, the translation is considered accepted.
7. Liability
The translator is liable for gross negligence and willful misconduct.
The translator is liable for damage suffered by a consumer resulting from injury to life, body or health within the framework of his professional and financial loss liability insurance. Liability for consequential damage and lost profit is excluded.
Damage caused by delayed delivery or loss of mail, computer failures, transmission disruptions in e-mail traffic or viruses are not to be classified as gross negligence. The translator takes precautions against this by using anti-virus software.
The translator is not liable for incoherent, ambiguous or incorrect passages in the source text.
8. Remuneration
All prices are net plus statutory sales tax. The translator's invoices are due and payable without deduction within fourteen 14 days of the invoice being issued.
In addition to the agreed fee, the translator is entitled to reimbursement of the expenses actually incurred and agreed with the client (travel expenses, express shipments, final inspection using the dual control principle, etc.).
The translator can freely determine whether percentage or flat-rate discounts (per line, page or hour) are granted. The discount granted only applies to the offer for which it was specified and cannot be automatically applied to follow-up orders.
In the case of translations for which the fee exceeds € 1,000 net, the translator can request an appropriate advance payment. The amount of the advance is stipulated in the contract. Processing of the order does not begin until the advance payment has been received.
If the amount of the fee has not been agreed, an appropriate and customary remuneration according to type and difficulty is owed.
In the case of transfers from abroad, the client will be billed retrospectively for any fees that may arise.
If payment deadlines are exceeded, the translator can interrupt the processing of an ongoing order until all outstanding invoices have been paid in full; interest on arrears is due in accordance with the legal requirements.
9. Right of withdrawal
If the client cancels an order after the translator has started processing, 100% of the translation service already performed and 50% of the outstanding translation service will be charged.
10. Professional secrecy and data protection
The translator undertakes to maintain secrecy about all facts that become known to him in connection with an activity for the client. When using expert third parties, the translator must ensure that they undertake to maintain confidentiality.
The translator cannot be held responsible if confidential information is intercepted by third parties, especially when it is transmitted over the Internet. It is up to the client to agree with the translator about suitable transfer options for these cases.
11. Retention of title and copyright
The translation remains the property of the translator until it has been paid for in full. Until then, the client has no right of use. Previously agreed partial deliveries are excluded from this.
The translator reserves any copyright that may arise. Consequently, he can request that his name will be mentioned in all publications of the translation.
The client assumes liability for the rights to the text to be translated and ensures that a translation can be made. He releases the translator from corresponding claims by third parties.
12. Applicable law
German law applies to the order and all claims arising from it.
The place of performance is the translator's place of residence or the registered office of his professional establishment.
The place of jurisdiction is the place of performance.
The contract language is German.
13. Severability clause
The effectiveness of these terms and conditions is not affected by the invalidity or ineffectiveness of individual provisions. The ineffective provision is to be replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to the economic result or the intended purpose.
14. Changes and additions
Changes and additions to these terms and conditions are only valid if they have been agreed in writing. This also applies to changes to the written form requirement itself.

E-mail: traducciones@claudia-sophia-wolf.de
The data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Sec. 6 (1e) or (f) German General Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung - DSGVO), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.

Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Sec. 21 (1) German General Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung - DSGVO), a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out.
