Description of the Services

• TRANSLATION SERVICE

Translation is a service allowing to obtain a content in a language from an original content written in a different language. As far as possible and taking into account the cultural and linguistic subtleties of the language, the Freelance is committed to the most complete conservation of the general spirit, the organization of the information and the type of vocabulary used.

• CORRECTION SERVICE

Proofreading is a service that allows the Client to submit content to a Freelancer for correction of all errors and flaws. The correction is concerned with the vocabulary, grammar, spelling, punctuation, structure, style and syntax used. If he wishes, the Client may ask the Freelancer to limit his control to one or more of these points. In this case, the Freelancer must explain this as clearly as possible in the initial request that defines the project.

• DRAFTING OFFICE

Copywriting is a service that allows you to purchase original content on a given theme and for a specific need. According to the initial request, the Freelance does the necessary research on the subject to be treated, then writes a content corresponding to the criteria exposed on the expected volume of words or the type of vocabulary requested. The Freelance commits to produce a strictly original and unique content and not to plagiarize under any circumstances other contents, whatever they are.

• TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE

Transcription is a service that allows you to transcribe all the information coming from a video or audio file, whether this file is in digital format or not, to obtain a text file.
Use of the Services

INITIAL REQUEST (BRIEFING)

• 1. Translation and Proofreading Service

The Customer may submit to Pop Translation a document, a database extract or a free text and add explanations to guide the Freelancer in his mission (hereafter defined together as « Initial Request »).

• 2. Editorial Department

For each project, the Freelance has a certain number of elements which must guide him in his mission.
It is understood that :
The volume of words expected is to be understood with a margin of +/- 10% (for an order of 500 words, you can deliver a text of 450 to 550 words). A maximum or minimum number of words may also be requested, which must be respected.
The « Keywords » option allows the Client to indicate a series of words or expressions that you must integrate into the Content according to a certain recurrence. You agree to respect the Customer’s initial request, taking into account the general understanding of the text.

• 3. Transcription Service

Transcription is a service that allows the transcription of all information coming from a video or audio file, whether or not this file is in digital format to obtain a text file.
The Freelancer undertakes to perform a quality Service in accordance with the Client’s Initial Request.

CONTROL RULES

The Freelancer agrees not to:
to write a text that may infringe the universal and individual rights of a moral or physical person;
to produce a Content that holds defamatory or insulting remarks against a moral or physical person, alive or dead;
to propose a Content that is contrary to good morals, that advocates violence, hatred or racism or that is considered illegal or contrary to public order ;
to propose Content that is erotic or pornographic (unless this is the result of a specific request from the client, which must be in complete accordance with your personal and religious morals and considerations);
translate works (for example, a book);
make unpleasant or defamatory comments.

CONTENT AND EXTERNAL LINKS

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the use of the documents and information that the Customer attaches to its project on Pop translation (collectively, the « External Content » and « External Links »). Due to the volume of information exchanged, Pop translation is not responsible for the accuracy or legality of the External Content.

SERVICE DELIVERY TIMES

Once you have accepted a listing, you have a variable amount of time to deliver the Content to the customer. The maximum time is indicated on each listing submission. Once this time limit has expired, the file is withdrawn from you and everything you may have already done for it is permanently deleted. This time limit may however be suspended if an exchange is established with the Customer or Pop translation’s support to specify the need.
Pop translation reserves the right to withdraw any assignment from the Freelancer, without remuneration, in the event of non-compliance by the Freelancer with the agreed deadlines or the expected quality of service.

FREELANCE ASSIGNMENT

Pop Translation undertakes to assign projects to Freelancers who meet the criteria set by the Customer at the time of the Initial Request.
These Terms are concluded intuitu personae, the Freelance undertakes to perform directly the Services. Consequently, the Freelancer may not subcontract the execution of the Services, in whole or in part, to a third party, under penalty of damages and interest.

CONTENT VALIDATION

The Customer has a period of 7 calendar days from the submission of the Content by the Freelancer to check compliance with its Initial Request. This period may be extended to 14 days in certain cases in the case of special agreements between Pop translation and the Customer.
In the absence of acceptance within the time limit, the Content submitted by the Freelancer shall be considered accepted by the Customer. However, it is possible that a Customer may not have been able to review the Content within the specified time period. In such a case, the Freelancer undertakes to carry out the modification requests requested by the Client, even if the Content has already been automatically approved.
If the Customer believes that the submitted Content does not fully meet its expectations, it may request a revision from the Freelancer. In this case, the Client agrees to be as precise as possible in its exchanges with you to facilitate the review of the Content by the Freelance. The number of revision requests is not limited and the Client may contact the Freelance as long as he is not satisfied and the Freelance deems these requests to be justified.
In the context of a review request, the Freelancer is put in direct contact with the Client by means of an internal messaging system of Pop Translation. It is understood, with respect to these exchanges, that:
the Freelancer is formally prohibited from seeking to obtain by any means whatsoever the Customer’s contact information in order to contact him outside the environment provided by Pop translation, under penalty of having his account permanently deleted with total loss of accumulated earnings and legal action for damages;
Pop translation may access at any time and without any limit the content of the exchanges, in order to rule on moderation or to control the proper conduct of operations between the Customer and the Freelancer.
If the Customer considers that the Freelancer has not complied with its Initial Request, it may reject its Content. The opening of a refusal procedure implies the control of a third party moderator who will study the relevance of the Client’s refusal.
If the moderator believes that the Customer’s rejection is justified, the Service is taken back from the Freelancer and the order is immediately re-launched with a new Freelancer;
if the moderator rejects the Customer’s request, the Content may be considered validated, or the moderator may ask the Freelancer to apply some modifications to bring the Content in line with the Customer’s Initial Request.
If you feel that the Customer’s requests for revision are not justified in light of the Initial Request, you may request the intervention of a moderator. This third party will analyze the Customer’s Initial Request, the Content produced and the various exchanges and revisions.
If the moderator considers that the Freelancer’s request is justified, the Content is automatically considered as correct without the Client being able to object in any way;
if the moderator considers that the Client’s requests for revision are justified, you are obliged to resume your work as a Freelancer until the Client is fully satisfied (as long as it still respects the Initial Request).

OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY

As a Freelancer, you are subject to a strict and complete confidentiality agreement. This applies to the very existence of the Service provided to the Customer, a fortiori to the Contents and exchanges with the Customer.
The information exchanged between the Parties and/or between Pop Translation’s Clients and the Freelancer is strictly confidential.
The Freelancer undertakes, throughout the duration of his relationship with Pop translation and for a period of five (5) years from the end of his relationship with Pop translation and/or from the date of communication of the documents by the Clients, to ensure the strictest confidentiality and is responsible for the respect of this obligation of confidentiality with respect to anyone.
The Freelancer therefore undertakes never to transmit or reveal any element provided directly or indirectly by the Customer to anyone.
Pop Translation will use all means deemed necessary and sufficient to protect its interests if a Freelancer fails to respect this confidentiality agreement and the Freelancer agrees to pay Pop Translation damages of
fifty thousand euros (€50,000) in the event of a breach of this clause by the Freelancer.
The Freelancer also agrees never to claim the realization of Services on behalf of the Customer nor to use its brand, its logo and any other element of intellectual property of the Customer.
This confidentiality obligation does not apply to the production of any information in the context of an administrative or judicial request or from any competent authority.

ANONYMAT

The entire Pop Translation system has been designed so that at no time is it possible for you to directly or indirectly detect the identity of a Client. It is your responsibility to keep all content and exchanges between you and Clients anonymous.
In the event that a Freelancer attempts to contact a Client to offer his services directly or to communicate his personal or professional contact information, the Freelancer agrees to pay to Pop Translation an indemnity of five thousand euros (€5,000) per violation.
