In case I do not submit the translated work on time, The Company has full right to reduce any agreed payment of 5% per working day of delay up to a maximum of 100%. If I am aware that I will be unable to submit the translated work on time, I will inform The Company in writing immediately.

4. If it is determined that I have returned sub-standard or incomplete work, The Company has the right to withhold and/reduce payment according to the level of inaccuracy without any prior notice. If there is evidence that the quality of the translated work is below standard, The Company has the right to terminate the contract with me.
