Terms of Service
Service Agreement
These terms govern the use of our translation services. By engaging our services, you agree to these terms.
Last updated: December 2024
1. Services
OnlineTranslation.ae provides legal translation services, document attestation assistance, and related document processing services. MOJ-certified translations are executed by Arkan, our partner and a Ministry of Justice licensed legal translator.
MOJ licensing is a matter of personal liability—individual translators are licensed by the Ministry of Justice, not companies. This means every MOJ-certified document carries the personal accountability and official stamp of Arkan as the registered translator.
2. Ordering and Quotes
Quotes are provided based on the documents submitted. Final pricing may adjust if the actual document differs from initial samples. A quote is valid for 7 days from issue unless otherwise stated. Orders are confirmed upon receipt of payment or written confirmation.
3. Document Requirements
For accurate translation, we require:
- Clear, legible copies of original documents
- Complete pages (partial documents may result in incomplete translations)
- Indication of any specific terminology preferences
- Notification of any urgent deadlines at the time of ordering
4. Delivery and Timelines
Standard turnaround times are provided at the time of quotation. Express services are available for urgent requirements at additional cost. Delivery times begin once full payment is received and clear document copies are provided. We make reasonable efforts to meet stated deadlines but cannot guarantee delivery times for circumstances beyond our control.
5. Certification and Accuracy
Our translations are certified by MOJ-licensed translators. We translate content as presented in the source document. If the source document contains errors, the translation will reflect those errors unless corrections are specifically requested and documented.
6. Payment Terms
Payment is required in advance for standard services. Corporate clients may arrange account terms by prior agreement. We accept bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods as indicated. All prices are in UAE Dirhams (AED) unless otherwise stated.
7. Revisions and Corrections
If you identify errors in our translation, please notify us within 7 days of delivery. We will correct genuine translation errors at no additional charge. Changes to source material, preference changes, or additions to the original scope may incur additional fees.
8. Confidentiality
We maintain strict confidentiality of all client documents and information. All staff and translators are bound by non-disclosure agreements. Documents are securely stored and deleted within 30 days of project completion unless extended retention is requested.
9. Liability
While we strive for accuracy, our liability is limited to the value of the service fee paid. We are not liable for any consequential losses arising from the use of translations. Clients are responsible for verifying that translations meet their specific requirements before submission to authorities.
10. Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled before work begins for a full refund. If work has commenced, cancellation fees may apply based on work completed. Rush orders may have different cancellation terms as specified at the time of ordering.
11. Intellectual Property
Upon full payment, clients receive the rights to use the translated documents for their intended purpose. Original documents remain the property of the client. We may retain copies for quality assurance and legal compliance purposes.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Dubai, UAE.
13. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
