Pricing
To assist you in your budgeting, we will supply a written quote and delivery
time before commencing translation or booking an interpreter.
We offer discounts for longer documents and regular work – please
contact us for further details.
How we calculate the cost of your translation
Translation costs are based on the number of words to be translated or
keyed in the original (source) text. Once we receive a copy of the text
for translation we will provide a written quotation, which will remain
valid for 30 days.
Discounts may be available on assignments in excess of 5000 words, and
will vary according to word count, format and timescale. Please contact
us with details of any specific assignment for further information.
How we calculate the cost of interpreting
Interpreting is usually booked on a minimum half-day basis. However,
depending on language and location, we may be able to book shorter periods
at an hourly rate to match your requirements. In addition, we may be able
to offer reduced rates for assignments lasting several days if we are
given reasonable notice. A tiered system of cancellation charges may apply
if a booking is moved or cancelled.
Our price list covers interpreting between English and those languages
we handle most frequently, and the rates therein assume that we have an
interpreter based locally to the interpreting venue. Please contact
us if you need a price for a language combination not listed.
Terms of Business
VAT is added at the current rate for UK clients. Non-UK clients will
be invoiced without VAT but those based in the EU should supply their
VAT/IVA number.
Payment is due within one month of the date of invoice or on completion
if a credit limit has not been agreed. Payment may be made by cheque,
cash, credit card or BACS. Payment must be made on or before the due date,
regardless of whether reimbursement has been received from any client
or third party.
We apply the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 as
Amended and supplemented by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations
2002; therefore interest at the rate of 12% per annum will be charged
on overdue invoices, and we reserve the right to claim Compensation as
allowed under the above Regulations.
