This agreement sets out the terms and conditions ('Terms and Conditions')
applicable to members of the service operated by TranslationJob.com. Applicants
(referred to as 'members') must agree to the following Terms and Conditions.
In the event a member breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any provision
of these Terms and Conditions then in addition to any other remedy available
to TranslationJob.com, TranslationJob.com may terminate the participation of such member
in the service and/or may withhold any payments relating to participation
in the service due to such member from TranslationJob.com.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
TranslationJob.com shall have absolute discretion as to whether or not it
accepts a particular applicant or site for participation in the service.
REMOVAL FROM NETWORK
TranslationJob.com reserves the right to terminate the participation of
any member or site without reason but expressly including any member site
that TranslationJob.com judges to be in violation of the Terms and Conditions.
Members in violation of TranslationJob.com's Terms and Conditions will be immediately
deactivated. TranslationJob.com may deactivate members with no prior notification.
Members found in violation of the Terms and Conditions will not receive
any credit or payment from TranslationJob.com. Members that are terminated by
TranslationJob.com on any basis other than violation of these Terms and Conditions
will be entitled to receive any payment due from TranslationJob.com.
PAYMENTS
TranslationJob.com reserves the right to suspend a withdrawal if the source of the funds is suspected
to be fraudulent. Any funds received from an account having made a fraudulent
deposit (e.g. stolen credit card) will be reversed immediately. If in
a fraudulent payment situation a withdrawal has already been processed,
you will be expected to return the funds to your TranslationJob.com account or
face account termination.
As previously stated, any member site that TranslationJob.com removes from the
service due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no credit
or payment.
MODIFICATIONS
TranslationJob.com reserves the right to change the member Terms and Conditions
at any time. It is the member's responsibility to check these Terms and
Conditions from time to time for such changes. In the event TranslationJob.com
offers any additional or replacement services then this agreement shall
apply to such services in the absence of any new agreement specific to
such services which is entered into between the parties.
OWNERSHIP
Members agree that all information contained on a website operated by
TranslationJob.com is the proprietary information of TranslationJob.com.
Personal information provided by members to TranslationJob.com will be kept confidential
and will not be distributed to any third party.
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Members agree not to post their e-mail address on the site, except in
the "e-mail" field of the signup form, or when asked by TranslationJob.com
at any other time. There should be no need to give anyone your e-mail
address. It is automatically provided if you choose a translator (or you
are the translator chosen for) a project, and before that time you can
use the message board to communicate. This does not only apply to e-mail
addresses, but to all methods of communication, including phone, ICQ,
AIM, MSN Messenger, etc... See "Avoiding Commissions" below
for the reason.
PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION
You are prohibited from making direct contact with another member, unless
it's for a project you (a translator) have been picked for, or you (a
buyer) have picked a translator for. This includes giving out your
e-mail address, ICQ number, phone number, or any other method of contact
outside of this site. TranslationJob.com provides you with message boards, which
should be sufficient for pre-project planning.
AVOIDING COMMISSIONS
You are strictly prohibited from attempting to negotiate the fee for
a project with another member directly (outside of TranslationJob.com) after
that project has been created/opened and before that project has been
closed (basically, during an ongoing project). But this also applies to
any project that was closed without a translator being chosen, and then
contacting them about the project anyway. Both parties are responsible
for notifying TranslationJob.com if the payment amount increases (above the bid
amount) after the project is closed. Receiving a larger amount than the
original project bid, without notifying us, will be considered an attempt
to avoid the commissions. When a translator requests a withdrawal, we
always review all payments received for each project to verify that they
match the bid. If at the time of a withdrawal request the translator has
failed to notify TranslationJob.com of a payment received above the amount
of his bid (a total payment above US$100), TranslationJob.com reserves the right
to deduct double the fee for the amount that should have been reported.
We believe our commissions are very fair and justified for the service
we provide, therefore we will absolutely not tolerate any of this activity
on TranslationJob.com.
BIDDING
Translators can only place bids that equal the total amount of money
they are requesting for the project. You cannot post an hourly bid or
any other abnormal type of bid. This applies to buyers too. Buyers
cannot create projects that directly or indirectly require translators
to place hourly or other abnormal bids.
THE ROLE OF TRANSLATIONJOB.COM
TranslationJob.com functions as a venue to connect buyers and translators
in a virtual marketplace. As a neutral facilitator, TranslationJob.com is not
directly involved in the actual transactions between users of the Site.
As a result, TranslationJob.com has no control over the truth, accuracy, quality,
legality, or safety of postings made by users. Because verifying the identity
of a user on the Internet is difficult, TranslationJob.com cannot and does not
confirm the identity of users. TranslationJob.com also does not confirm nor verify
the qualifications, background, or abilities of users. Therefore, We recommend
that You be careful and exercise common sense and good judgment when dealing
with any member on the Site. If you are unsatisifed with another member,
the most TranslationJob.com can do is refund the project commission you have
been charged by us. We cannot refund the money you have sent to someone,
we are not responsible for your transactions.
AND FINALLY...
We thank you for choosing the TranslationJob.com service and we look forward
to a mutually successful business relationship.
