In particular, the Client may include the timescale in which they would like the Services to be completed.
2.3 On receipt of the email from the Client pursuant to clause 2.2, ECLS may respond by sending the Client a quote (Quote). The Quote will, inter alia, detail the Services ECLS can provide in response to the Client’s initial enquiry in accordance with clause 2.2, provide a timescale in which ECLS can provide these Services, and the relevant Fee for doing so.
2.4 If the Client is satisfied that the content of the Quote sent to them pursuant to clause 2.3 reflects their requirements and they are happy for ECLS to carry out the provision of Services in accordance with the Quote, they should respond to ECLS by email to confirm the same (the Order). This Order shall constitute an offer by the Client to purchase Services in accordance with these Conditions.
2.5 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted by ECLS once ECLS issues a written acceptance of the Order with the Quote, at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence.
2.6 Any samples or advertising issued by ECLS, in whatever form, are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
2.7 These Conditions alone shall govern and be incorporated in every Contract for the provision of Services to the exclusion of any other terms that the Client seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
2.8 Any Quote given by ECLS shall not constitute an offer and is only valid for a period of twenty (20) working days from its date of issue.
2.9 Information provided on the Company’s website is a general description only and does not form part of these Conditions.

3.5 It is agreed that where ECLS is performing translation only services / Machine Translation Post Editing only services and not proofreading services, whilst ECLS warrants to the Client that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill pursuant to clause 3.4, the quality of the Deliverables may vary accordingly and may not be consistent with the quality of the Deliverables which have been proofread.
3.6 Any representations about the Services shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by an authorised representative of ECLS. The Client acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of ECLS which is not set out in the Contract.
3.7 The Services will be deemed to have completed upon the supply of the Deliverables to the Client. The Client will have ten (10) working days to inspect the Services and notify ECLS of any problem, after which time the Services will be deemed to have been accepted by the Client.
3.8 In the event that the Client is not satisfied with the Deliverables and wishes to make a complaint, it must notify ECLS of this fact in writing within ten (10) working days of receipt of the same. The complaint must clearly explain the nature of the complaint and include any relevant evidence.
3.9 ECLS shall have a period of 30 calendar days, or such longer period as would be reasonably necessary, to remedy the object of the complaint raised under clause 3.8 on at least two occasions, without incurring any liability to the Client.
3.10 The Client’s sole remedy and ECLS’s sole obligation in respect of a valid claim that the Services have not been carried out in compliance with clause 3.4 is to re-perform the Services or rectify the Deliverables free of charge. It is agreed that the remedy in this clause shall not be available in circumstances where the Client and/or a third party has modified, altered or otherwise amended the whole, or any part of, the Services and/or the Deliverables.
3.11 In the event that a complaint is found to be unjustified, ECLS reserves the right to request a full reimbursement of any costs incurred in investigating the complaint.

4.2.1 ECLS shall, without limiting its other rights or remedies, have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Client remedies the Client Default, and to rely on the Client Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations to the extent the Client Default prevents or delays ECLS’s performance of any of its obligations;

4.3 The Client shall ensure that the purpose of the Deliverable is included within the Quote pursuant to clause 2.2.

ECLS may amend or adapt, at the Client’s expense, the Deliverable previously supplied so that it may be used for the new purpose.
4.4 The Client acknowledges that the services of translation and proofreading may be subjective and that the Client may have personal preferences relating to such services.

5 CLIENT’S RIGHT TO REQUEST CHANGES TO AN ORDER
5.1 If the Client wishes to request an amendment to be made to their Order for the Services, including a proposed change in the estimated timeframe which has been agreed with ECLS, the Client should contact ECLS and set out in writing the proposed amendment(s).
5.2 If ECLS confirms that it is able to make the proposed changes, it shall provide the Client with a revised Quote in writing. Clause 2 of these Conditions shall apply to the procedure for agreeing the revised Quote and Order. The revised Quote shall include details relating to the estimated timeframe, any variation to the Fee and any other information which ECLS considers is relevant due to the proposed change.
5.3 If ECLS confirms that it is unable to make the proposed changes, or if the Client is not satisfied with the revised Quote made under clause 5.2, then the Order shall not be deemed revised and ECLS shall provide the Services as set out in the initial Order.
5.4 ECLS shall be under no obligation to provide any reasoning or justification for its refusal to make changes to an Order.
5.5 ECLS shall review each proposed change to an Order on a case by case basis and it is therefore unable to provide any guarantee as to whether a change to an Order, particularly a change to the estimated timeframe, will be accepted in any given case.
5.6 This clause 5 shall not apply to any proposed change in rates of Fees which are not permitted to be amended once an Order has been placed.
6 FEE AND PAYMENT

6.2 ECLS retains the right to amend the Fee in the event that the Client requests any change to the Services as detailed in the Quote.
6.3 ECLS retains the right to charge for Overtime for any time worked by individuals whom it engages on the Services outside of the hours detailed in the Quote. Overtime shall be charged at fifty (50) per cent of the total Fee, on a pro rata basis.
6.4 ECLS shall invoice the Client on completion of the Services in accordance with clause 3.7.
6.5 The Client shall pay each invoice submitted by ECLS:
6.5.1 within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the invoice;
6.5.2 in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by ECLS;
and time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
6.6 All amounts payable by the Client under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable for the time being (VAT).
6.7 Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by ECLS to the Client, the Client shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from ECLS, pay to ECLS such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.
6.8 If the Client fails to make any payment due to ECLS under the Contract by the due date for payment, then the Client shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of four (4) per cent per annum above Barclays Bank PLC’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Client shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
6.9 The Client shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). ECLS may at any time, without limiting its other rights or remedies, set off any amount owing to it by the Client against any amount payable by ECLS to the Client.
7 RUSH PROJECTS
7.1 The Client may request ECLS to undertake a Rush Project, in which case such request shall constitute an offer made to ECLS which it may, at its sole discretion, accept or reject. In the event that ECLS accepts the offer, the provisions of clause 2 shall apply and these Conditions shall form the basis of the Contract.
7.2 ECLS shall not be bound to accept any offer made by the Client pursuant to clause 7.1.
7.3 In the event that ECLS accepts an offer made by the Client pursuant to clause 7.1 and accepts a Rush Project, ECLS may elect to charge a premium rate for their Services due to the additional resource and expense required to fulfil such a request. The level of the premium shall vary depending on the circumstances.
7.4 The Client accepts and understands that due to the urgency surrounding Rush Projects, such urgency may prevent the necessary checks relating to the accuracy of the translation from being undertaken and therefore the usual standard of service provided by ECLS in performing the Services may not be sustained.
7.5 Where ECLS and the Client have agreed that the Services shall be provided by an agreed date and time as part of a Rush Project, ECLS shall use its best endeavours to deliver the Rush Project in the agreed timeframe, but shall not be liable to the Client or be deemed to be in breach of these Conditions by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, the Rush Project or any of the Services associated with it, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond ECLS’s reasonable control and/or was a force majeure event as set out in clause 11.5.
8 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
