I. Preliminary provisions
a. Confirmation of an order for translation services means that the Ordering Party has read and accepted the provisions of these Regulations.
b. The Office provides translation and related services (hereinafter collectively referred to as “translation services”) for a fee, the scope of which is outlined on the Office’s website. The scope of services and price list presented on the site do not constitute an offer within the meaning of civil law and are for informational purposes only. The scope of services can be modified.
c. Translation services are not provided by a sworn translator within the meaning of the Act of April 25, 2004 on the profession of a sworn translator.
II. Placing an order

b. Upon receipt of the materials, the Office submits a price quote for the service to the potential Ordering Party via email. At this stage, it is possible to negotiate the price, completion date and all the details of the order. This stage is non-committal for both parties.
c. The Office does not perform a quote without first reviewing the materials to be translated.
d. Acceptance of an order for performance by the Office is made after acceptance of the price offer by the Ordering Party in the form of an e-mail. Failure to provide such order confirmation is considered by the Office as failure to place an order.
e. Upon receipt of the price offer, the Ordering Party confirms his/her willingness to use the Office’s services by e-mail.

c. The order can only be canceled electronically by sending a message to annagredecka@fjorden.pl. If the order is canceled during the performance of the order, the Ordering Party will be charged with the costs resulting from the amount of translated text until the Ordering Party receives information about the cancellation of the order.
