Translate general terms and conditions (sworn)

Certified general terms and conditions translation

Let your Terms and Conditions sworn-translated when a foreign party, court or authority requires a legally valid translation with a stamp. At Ecrivus International you arrange the sworn translation of your Terms and Conditions online, including a stamp, signature and statement of certification. A sworn translation costs from €59 per document.

What is a sworn translation of terms and conditions?

Having your Terms and Conditions are a private document that you draw up yourself as a business. No government body issues them. Even so, a customer, partner or authority abroad often expects a translation that is reliable from a legal standpoint. A sworn translation offers that certainty. The translator binds the source text and the translation together, adds a stamp and signature and includes a statement that the translation is complete and correct. This makes the translation legally valid and recognisable as an official document.

Why a sworn translator and not an ordinary or automatic translation?

Terms and Conditions contain legal concepts such as liability, termination, warranty and applicable law. A mistranslated clause can change the meaning and lead to disputes. A sworn translator is entered in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv) and is authorised to certify the translation. An automatic tool or language model cannot provide a signed statement of accuracy and is therefore unsuitable for a legally valid translation. We work with a legal translator who has experience with this type of document.

Frequently asked questions about translating terms and conditions

Can I have my terms and conditions translated into English?

Yes. When ordering you choose the language combination, for example Dutch to English. Besides English, hundreds of other language combinations are available. The translation is delivered as a sworn translation with a stamp, signature and statement.

Can ChatGPT translate a legal document such as terms and conditions?

Not for a legally valid translation. A certified or sworn translation requires a signed statement of accuracy from a qualified human translator. A language model cannot legally issue that statement, so a sworn translator is needed for official use.

In which language must my terms and conditions be drawn up?

There is no legal language requirement for Terms and Conditionsthemselves. You are, however, required to provide the terms in a language the other party can understand. With a foreign customer a translation is therefore sensible, and a sworn translation offers extra certainty about accuracy.

What does it cost to have terms and conditions sworn-translated?

A sworn translation starts from €59 per document. The final price depends on the number of pages and the language combination you select at the top of this page.

Is a sworn translation of my terms and conditions legally valid abroad?

The sworn translation is, thanks to the stamp and statement, an officially certified document in the Netherlands. For use abroad an authority sometimes also asks for an apostillewhich the court can add under the Apostille Convention (Hague Convention, 1961). We can arrange this for you.
