I am responsible for all the products and services provided by me, or the firm I represent.

The Company will NOT withhold any taxes from my fees but The Company will report my gross fees as required by Central, State and Local law. Therefore, I am responsible for all applicable taxes on my gross fees.

The Company may terminate the use of my service at any time without cause and without further obligation, except for the payment of due fees for services rendered by me prior to the date of termination.

I will NOT be covered under any of The Company's insurance policies (including/but not limited to: Disability, Workers' Compensation, Sick Pay, Holiday Entitlement, Unemployment, etc.).

By providing services to The Company, I am not violating any agreement between myself and another third party

I understand that WeRtranslations will process payments electronically via Paypal or Bank transfers 30 days after the end of the month when the work was delivered. If the Company's cients pay within 15 days, the Company will endeavour to pay translators earlier, on the closest payrun before the 30 days.
