Return Policy
Last Updated:
At sereneshopeu, we are committed to delivering high-quality translation services that meet your expectations. This Return Policy outlines our policies regarding revisions, refunds, and project cancellations.
Our Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind the quality of our work. If you are not satisfied with a translation, we will work with you to make it right. Our goal is to ensure that every translation meets professional standards and fulfills your requirements.
General Legal Requirements
Under UK consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have certain rights when purchasing services:
- Right to Receive Services as Described: Services must match the description provided and be performed with reasonable care and skill
- Right to Cancel: For services purchased online, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of placing your order, unless the service has been fully performed with your consent
- Right to Request Corrections: If services are not performed with reasonable care and skill, you have the right to request corrections or a price reduction
- Right to Reject: If services cannot be corrected or the failure is significant, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund
These rights apply to consumers only and do not affect your statutory rights. Business customers may have different rights under commercial contract law.
Return Period
For translation services, the following timeframes apply:
- Service Cancellation: You may cancel your order within 14 days of placing it, provided we have not yet begun work on your project with your explicit consent
- Quality Concerns: You must report any quality issues or request revisions within 14 days of project delivery
- Refund Requests: Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of project delivery, except in cases of significant service failure
These timeframes comply with UK consumer protection legislation. Business customers may have different terms as specified in their service agreement.
Return Conditions
Translation services are considered "returned" or eligible for refund when the following conditions are met:
- The service has not been fully performed, or
- The service was performed but does not meet the agreed specifications or professional standards, or
- You cancel the service within the cancellation period and we have not yet begun work, or
- We are unable to complete the service as agreed through no fault of yours
For digital translation services, "return" means cancellation of the service contract and refund of payments made, rather than physical return of goods. Once a translation has been delivered and accepted, the service is considered complete, though revision rights may still apply.
Return Shipping Costs
As we provide digital translation services, there are no physical goods to return and therefore no shipping costs involved. All deliverables are provided electronically through secure file transfer.
In the event of a refund:
- No shipping or handling fees will be deducted from your refund
- Refunds will be processed to your original payment method
- Any transaction fees incurred will be borne by us, not you
If you have received physical copies of translated documents (such as certified hard copies), you may be responsible for return shipping costs if you cancel after work has begun, unless the cancellation is due to our failure to perform the service.
Return Process
To initiate a return, cancellation, or refund request, please follow these steps:
- Contact Us: Email us at contactusY3mxs9K1m with your request, including your project reference number
- Provide Details: Explain the reason for your return or cancellation request, including any specific concerns or issues
- Review Period: We will review your request within 2 business days and respond with our assessment
- Resolution: We will propose a solution, which may include revisions, partial refund, or full refund depending on the circumstances
- Confirmation: Once agreed, we will process your refund or cancellation within 5 to 10 business days
For quality-related returns, please provide specific examples of the issues you have identified to help us understand and address your concerns effectively.
Non-Returnable Items
The following services and circumstances are not eligible for return or refund:
- Services that have been fully performed and delivered, where the quality meets professional standards and agreed specifications
- Customized translations that have been specifically tailored to your requirements and approved by you
- Services where you have changed your mind about needing the translation, after work has begun
- Revisions or additional work requested beyond the original project scope
- Services where you provided incomplete, unclear, or incorrect source material or instructions
- Services cancelled more than 30 days after delivery without prior communication
- Services where the issue is due to your subjective stylistic preferences rather than professional quality standards
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies for a return, please contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.
Revision Policy
We offer revisions to address legitimate quality concerns or errors in our translations:
Free Revisions
We provide free revisions in the following situations:
- Errors in translation accuracy or grammar
- Terminology inconsistencies within the translated document
- Failure to follow specific instructions provided at the time of project briefing
- Technical formatting issues in the delivered document
Free revisions must be requested within 14 days of project delivery. We will review your concerns and make necessary corrections promptly at no additional charge.
Paid Revisions
Revisions may incur additional charges in these circumstances:
- Changes to the original source document after translation is complete
- Requests for different stylistic approaches not specified in the original brief
- Additional localization beyond the initial project scope
- Revisions requested more than 14 days after delivery
We will provide a quote for paid revisions before proceeding with any work.
Refund Procedure
Our refund procedure is designed to be fair, transparent, and compliant with UK consumer protection legislation:
Eligibility for Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the stage of your project and the nature of any issues:
Full Refund
A full refund will be issued if:
- You cancel your order within 14 days of placing it and we have not yet begun work
- We are unable to complete your project by the agreed deadline through no fault of yours
- We cancel the project due to our inability to provide the service
- The translation delivered is substantially unusable due to quality issues that we cannot resolve through revisions
- The service does not meet the agreed specifications and cannot be corrected
Partial Refund
Partial refunds may be issued if:
- You cancel the project after work has begun but before completion (refund for uncompleted portion)
- Significant portions of the translation require extensive revision despite our best efforts
- There are documented quality issues affecting a substantial portion of the work
- The service is partially performed but cannot be completed as agreed
Partial refunds will be calculated based on the work completed, costs already incurred, and the proportion of the service that was not performed or did not meet standards.
No Refund
Refunds will not be issued in these situations:
- You simply change your mind about needing the translation after work has begun
- You provided incomplete, unclear, or incorrect instructions for the project
- You disagree with stylistic choices that are within accepted professional standards
- The translation meets professional quality standards but does not match your subjective preferences
- More than 30 days have passed since project delivery without prior communication about quality issues
- The issue is due to changes you made to the source material after translation was completed
