1.4: Any special and/or specific terms, conditions or requirements on the part of the customer, stated, for example, on the confirmation of order from the customer or in the customer’s terms of purchase, shall not be binding on World Translation, unless World Translation has expressly declared, in writing, that it accepts said terms.

4.1: All results attributable to the services provided by World Translations shall be the exclusive property of the customer.
4.2: The rights of the customer do not, however, extend to World Translation’s methods, tools or general technical knowledge.
4.3: World Translation guarantees that the services delivered by World Translation do not contain rights belonging to any third party which may restrict or prohibit their use or utilisation by the customer.
4.4: World Translation shall accept no liability in the event that a third party should file claims that are unrelated to the service provided by World Translation and which therefore fall outside the scope of Section 4.3, and which restrict the customer’s rights and utilisation, and the customer shall indemnify World Translation from all claims made in this regard.
5.1: Should the customer wish to complain about errors and defects, said complaints are to be presented in writing to World Translation. The customer shall forfeit the right to claim remedy for breach of contract if the customer fails to present a complaint as soon as the customer becomes aware – or should have become aware – of the existence of any errors and defects. In any event, complaints regarding errors and defects in services are to be presented in writing no later than six (6) months after the customer received the service.
5.2: If World Translation’s services should contain errors or defects, the customer may require the errors/defects to be remedied, and World Translation has a corresponding right to rectify the work. In such cases, the proofreading process shall be free of charge. World Translation is entitled to an appropriate deadline for such rectification.
5.3: Claims for cancellation of the order, for reduction of the remuneration payable or for payment of compensation on the grounds that World Translation has not fulfilled the requirements stated in the order shall not be accepted unless the customer can document that World Translation has displayed gross negligence and has not attempted to remedy the situation, cf. Section 5.2.

5.5: World Translation and its suppliers shall not be held liable for failure to fulfil their obligations on account of circumstances that are beyond the direct control of World Translation (including, but not limited to, server failure or breakdown, burglary, fire, water damage, strike, lockout, restrictions imposed by public authorities and the like), and which are likely to delay fulfilment of the assignment or make its achievement significantly more onerous than expected on World Translation.
5.6: Irrespective of the grounds on which a claim may be raised, and regardless of the degree of negligence, World Translation shall not be held liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as loss of production, financial costs, loss of information and data, and any other indirect losses, consequential losses or similar in connection with third-party claims.

7.1: Delivery of the agreed services shall be made in accordance with the terms of delivery agreed on placement of order.
