19.

The information and services described on this page do not constitute legal advice, legal services, or legal representation as defined under the Law Society Act of Ontario. I am not a licensed lawyer, paralegal, or notary, do not present myself as such, and am not licensed by the Law Society of Ontario.
All information presented here is compiled from official sources and is provided strictly “as is.” The services I offer are limited to assisting clients with translation services, collecting required documents, completing forms, and coordinating document shipping.
I encourage clients to consult with licensed legal professionals (lawyers, paralegals, or notaries) in their country, province or territory for any legal advice or representation.
By using the services described on this page, clients confirm their full understanding and acceptance of these terms and agree to release the service provider, its representatives, agents, successors, and affiliates from any legal liability related to the use of these services or the information provided.
20. Refund PolicyI am committed to providing high-quality and reliable translation services. Due to the nature of custom work, I maintain the following refund policy:
20.1. CancellationsA refund is only possible if the order has not yet been assigned to a translator.
Once the project is assigned to a translator (usually within a few minutes after payment is received), the order is considered in progress and is no longer eligible for cancellation or refund.
20.2. Non-Refundable CasesRefunds will not be issued for completed translations that were delivered according to the agreed specifications.
If a translation is rejected by a third party (e.g., government, institution) due to reasons not related to the quality of the translation, no refund will be issued. I strongly encourage clients to confirm acceptance criteria prior to placing an order.
20.3. Quality DisputesIf you believe the delivered translation contains errors or does not meet the agreed requirements, please contact me within 7 calendar days of delivery. I will review your concerns and, if necessary, get the translations revised free of charge. I may decline your suggested revisions if I don’t agree with them.
Any comments or concerns about the completed translations that are shared after the period of 7 calendar days since their delivery has passed may or may not be considered and taken into processing.
Refunds will only be considered if you fulfilled your obligation to contact me within 7 calendar days after the delivery of translations, and I am unable to correct the issues in a reasonable timeframe and/or number of revisions.
20.4. Non-DeliveryIf I fail to deliver the translation by the agreed deadline and no prior notice was given, you may be eligible for a full or partial refund, depending on the circumstances.
20.5. Force MajeureI am not responsible for delays caused by postal or courier services, email failures, IT failures, public holidays, or unforeseen events beyond my control (e.g., natural disasters, technical failures, strikes, etc.).
