• process any type of document (instructions, contracts, press releases, websites, user manuals, software, brochures, etc.)
• deliver several languages simultaneously, even large volumes, in Windows Office format, or other formats if required.
• offer a test of a maximum of 200 words (supplied by the client) completed by several translators once the contract has been signed,  in order to allow you to choose the style and faithful translation of your subject.

• manage the interface between customers and translators in the event of questions/changes during the translation.

GUARANTEED QUALITY

• Proof-reading is guaranteed by our professional translators.
• The initial proof-reading is guaranteed by our translators, but final proof-reading must be undertaken by the customer. TRAD'SMITH France and its directors decline all responsibility for any consequences resulting from the use of the delivered translations, regardless of the direct or indirect damages which may be caused to the user or a third party.
• Any dispute over the quality of the delivered translations must be expressed and justified in writing (e-mail/mail), within 8 (eight) days of delivery. If need be, TRAD'SMITH France undertakes to offer you a version which is revised and corrected to your satisfaction. After this eight-day deadline, any revisions will be charged. Under no circumstances will our invoices be cancelled.

The non-payment of invoices for these reasons will be subject to criminal proceedings.
