Pricing questions

The calculation is made on a unit, and items are added on top of it. The volume tier, the repetition rate, urgency and typesetting are separate items. The structure is shown in the quote.

A single figure treats different jobs as the same. A publication-ready catalogue and internal correspondence do not require the same effort. The item structure makes this difference visible.

It is made on the source text. In this way the fee is known at the start of the job. Even if the target text grows longer, the figure does not change.

Which count is used is written clearly in the quote. There is a noticeable difference between the two counts. It is not left unclear.

It may. Because the preparation effort is spread out in large jobs, a tiered structure is applied. The thresholds are defined in the annex to the contract.

There is. Matches in the memory are charged in tiers. No tier is entirely free of charge, because every suggestion is checked in its context.

Even a sentence that matches exactly is verified in the context in which it appears. If the context has changed, the rendering may not fit. Review effort arises.

It changes if additional resources and work outside normal hours are required. The rate is notified in advance and is not applied without approval. The quality steps are still not skipped.

It is not. Official fees are tied to tariffs and are shown separately from the service fee. These items are passed on with an expense document.

Typesetting is a separate specialism and is shown as a separate item. Text embedded in images also falls within this scope. The scope is written in the quote.

Every job has a preparation effort that is independent of volume. The steps of opening a file, review and delivery are repeated even for a single sentence. Collecting small requests reduces this item.

The items are valid throughout the period. The update procedure and the notice period are written in the contract. No unilateral change is made.

It is stated clearly in the quote. A figure that does not say whether tax is included cannot be compared. The wording is kept clear.

The term is defined in the contract, and the date from which it starts is written down. Periodic consolidated invoicing can also be agreed. The procedure is determined at the outset.

You can. The period and form of the objection are defined in the contract. The amount other than the disputed item is paid, so that the process is not held up.

The most frequent reason for the difference is scope. A quote that does not include independent revision is naturally lower. Two quotes cannot be compared unless they include the same steps.

When an annual volume estimate is shared, a forecast can be built on the item structure. As the repetition rate increases, the unit cost falls. Planning becomes easier.
