TRANSLATION<->INTERPRETATION
SERVICES
Payment Strategy
Typically, invoicing is performed online. I will
e-mail a file saved in the ".tif" graphic format. Generally, I issue the
invoice after I've transmitted the translation. The standard protocol is "Payment
Due Upon Receipt" of the invoice for the translated document/s,
transacted in "U.S. Dollars". Please tell me if your
disbursement system obligates a delay. To facilitate the payment procedure I
have registered with PayPal. The link below will take you to the
PayPal web site where you can pay quickly and easily with your credit card.
PayPal knows me as: alain@spanishenglishtranslations.com. I'll be glad to send you a PayPal "Money Request"... just
let me know.
If you prefer, you may issue a check, money order or other such instrument, payable directly to my name, and mail it to the following address:
Alain Gelbman
P.O. Box 527
Blodgett, OR 97326
USA
Finally, please save me the expense and embarrassment of issuing a reminder. Just talk to me at the beginning of the project, you'll find me easy to deal with.
Below, you will find a
"Memorandum of Understanding"
that acts as an agreement regarding our work relationship and describes various
payment strategies; it may answer your concerns and demonstrate some of
the issues we might discuss during our initial contact.

Client
I realize that if you were well versed
in both English and Spanish you would not require my services, and, by the same
token, that you may not be in a position to judge my work directly. To
that end I encourage you to
contact my former clients and to present my work
to someone whose judgment you trust.
Please stay in touch by any of the means you prefer... I'd love to hear from you.
