1. General
Dixit Global Solutions (hereafter referred to as “Dixit”) provides an online service for clients, private or professionals, who need human translation.
Translators, freelancers or agencies, can use the platform to bid for translation projects. The translators, all approved by Dixit, upon registration, can choose freely the projects they want to translate, as long as their language pair matches the ones required by the project. Once the translation done, it will be available on the platform, pending client approval.
Only clients can create translation assignments. The client submits a project on the platform for translation, specifying the source and target language(s) and the theme of the text. Then a translator has the possibility to reserve the assignment and translate it.
2. Registration
Clients must register on Dixit before being able to post a project for translation on the platform. The client register for free on Dixit by completing a formula available on dixit.com. By registering, the client accepts inevitably these General Terms and Conditions. The client guarantees that all personal details provided are correct and complete. The client must keep these details up to date.
When registration is fully completed, the client is also given a personalized ID number.
The client can modify access details and personal informations at any time via the user account under “Personal information”.
Registration on the platform is valid for an undetermined period and can be cancelled by the client within a period of 14 days by writing an e-mail to [email protected].
Neither registration, nor the account are transferable. Each client disposes of one account only. Each account must be used by one client only.
The client must maintain secret all account information (login, password, client ID). If the data was to fall into the hands of unauthorized individuals, Dixit should be informed immediately. Dixit then has the right to block the account.
3. Ordering
The client can place an order by posting his/her text on the platform, in the tab “New project”. The client will be able to select the source/target language(s) and other options and leave a comment to the translator. Once the order is placed, it will appear on the platform to all the translators with matching language pair(s) to the one(s) required in the order.
The customer can also order translations through one of our project managers. Request of quotes and sending of document to be translated will be done per mail.
Dixit may cancel the order at any time before its acceptance or reservation by a translator. Similarly, the customer can modify the order until the acceptance / reservation by a translator.
The command is given to the translator who reserves / accepts the offer first.
The client can also order directly per mail translation of projects with a special format or specific instructions. To do so, all, the customer may send a mail to dixit.com. Once the order has been validated, the order can no longer be cancelled.

Lead time

Depending on the category of the texts to translate, the lead time can be longer or shorter.
For voluminous projects we can setup a dedicated translator team and allocate your projects to the team.
4. Acceptance or rejection by the client
As soon as the translation is finished the client will be able to see it via the customer space. The client has then three days to accept or reject the translation.
A request for revision is accepted if the translation does not match the initial requirements, violates the fundamental rules, is unfit for use or contains an important number of errors.
Any request for revision of a translation must be sent by e-mail to Dixit. The customer must explain precisely what did not correspond to his/her requirements.
If the demand is justified, Dixit will contact the translator or an other translator who will proceed with the correction as soon as possible.
If the correction does still not satisfy the client, he/she may reject it, but must explain why.
No refund will be made if no instructions were given initially by the customer to the translator (translator's instructions / image of the product inserted in the provided space / choice of the category of the text) or if they turned out to be incorrect.
5. Basic rules
