At Global Certified Translation (GCT)<\/strong>, we take pride in the quality and accuracy of our translation services. Because each translation is custom, personalized, and delivered digitally, we do not offer refunds once the translated document has been delivered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, we understand that exceptional circumstances may arise. Please read this policy carefully to know when, if ever, a refund or revision might be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have received the final translated document, our work is deemed complete and delivered, and\u00a0no refunds will be issued<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By placing an order with us, you acknowledge that translation services are non-returnable, non-reversible once delivered, and not subject to cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While full refunds are not available, we do support quality control and client satisfaction through a revision process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the issue arises from unclear or incomplete original documents, or changes requested post-delivery, additional charges may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you identify errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in your translation, you must notify us\u00a0within 7 calendar days<\/strong>of delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After reviewing your request, we will determine whether a correction or amendment is warranted (and typically provided at no extra cost).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the issue was our error (e.g. omission, misinterpretation, typos, formatting), we will correct it promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n n very limited cases, we may consider partial refunds or credits \u2014 e.g. if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are exceptional and handled case by case, at our discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This policy applies to\u00a0service transactions only<\/strong>\u00a0(translation, editing, notarization). There are no \u201cproducts\u201d or \u201cphysical goods\u201d to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under California law<\/strong>, businesses may set their own refund or no-refund policies so long as they conspicuously disclose them in advance<\/strong> (e.g. on the website, order page). California Attorney General+2Sacramento County Public Law Library+2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For goods (retail sellers), California\u2019s Civil Code \u00a7 1723 mandates that a no-refund or limited refund policy must be clearly displayed and, if not, buyers may be entitled to a refund within 30 days. Justia Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, translation services are generally considered services<\/strong>, not goods, and the \u201creturn\u201d concept does not neatly apply. Because no tangible item is being sold, the law governing \u201creturn of goods\u201d is less directly applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nonetheless, even for services, consumer protection laws (e.g. the Consumers Legal Remedies Act) may constrain overly harsh or deceptive policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of these complexities, it\u2019s crucial that your \u201cno refund\u201d policy is transparent, conspicuous, and agreed to by the client at purchase<\/strong> (e.g. with a checkbox or acceptance of terms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you believe a refund or credit may be justified, please follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will respond within 3 business days with whether a correction or refund (if any) is approved, and the amount or credit offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email us at\u00a0[your support email]<\/strong>\u00a0with subject line \u201cRefund\/Revision Request \u2013 Order #[order number]\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Include your name, order number, date of delivery, and a detailed explanation of the issue (with document excerpts or screenshots if relevant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reserve the right to modify or update this Refund & Returns Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective upon posting the revised policy at\u00a0www<\/strong>.globalcertifiedtranslation.com<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n2. No Refund after Delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
