Die in den jeweiligen Bestellungen genannten Preise verstehen sich ohne Mehrwertsteuer.

Im Falle einer von XYZ genehmigten Teillieferung sollte die Rechnung einen entsprechenden Hinweis enthalten.
Zahlungen erfolgen innerhalb von 30 Tagen ohne Abzug. Diese Frist beginnt zu laufen,

dann nach vollständiger Beseitigung der Mängel zu laufen.
Der “Auftragnehmer” darf nur mit unbestrittenen oder rechtskräftig festgestellten Forderungen aufrechnen.
Translation - English Prices and Payment Terms
The prices designated in the respective orders do not include goods and services tax (GST), the European equivalent of value-added tax (VAT). The designated prices are fixed and exclude subsequent demands. Additional deliverables and/or services, or any such activities differing from agreed on services, will only be compensated if a rider, amendment or addendum pursuant hereto is executed prior to the performance of such services.
Invoices shall be provided in duplicate and state the order number, order date and quantity (with unit price and item subtotal).
In the case of a partial delivery, the invoice should contain a remark to this effect.
Full payment of all invoices shall be made within 30 days, without deductions. This period begins once the delivery or services are completed and the invoice is duly received. If a defect is discovered, payment deadline is suspended until the defect(s) are completely remedied.

Source text - German Leistungen – Wissensmanagement
Wissensbasierte Beratungssysteme
Wissen ist ein wichtiger Produktivitätsfaktor - flüchtig, nicht immer verfügbar, aufwendig in der Wiederbeschaffung, schwer zu verteilen. Unternehmenswissen über Technologien, Produkte und Lösungen ist meist verstreut in Datenbanken, Archiven, Dokumenten und vor allem in den Köpfen der Experten.
Ein wissensbasiertes Beratungssystem auf Grundlage einer zentralen Wissenbank zur Erfassung, Archivierung und Pflege von Wissen und Know-how bietet einen erheblichen Nutzen und Wettbewerbsvorteile.
Das Sammeln, Bewerten und Wiederauffinden von Wissen kann über eine zentrale Software abgewickelt werden.
Wir unterstützen Unternehmen beim Aufbau wissensbasierter Beratungsysteme. Neben wertvoller Erfahrungen, die wir bereits in erfolgreich abgeschlossenen Projekten gesammelt haben, können wir auf unterstützende eigene Softwarewerkzeuge zurückgreifen.
Translation - English Services – Knowledge Management
Knowledge-based consulting systems
Knowledge is an important productivity factor – it is transient, time-consuming to replace, not always available, and difficult to distribute. A company’s knowledge of technologies, products and solutions is usually scattered among databases, archives, documents and above all, it’s often retained only in the experts’ heads.
A knowledge-based consulting system provides substantial benefits and competitive advantage on the basis of a central knowledge database used to compile, archive and maintain knowledge, as well as know-how.
Centralized software can be used to gather, evaluate and reference knowledge.
We support companies in creating knowledge-based consulting systems. In addition to valuable experience gained from other successfully completed projects, we can also draw on the support offered by our own software tools.

Experience
Years of experience: 28. Registered at ProZ.com: May 2002.
I am an alumni of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, with an MBA in International Management, and began translating professionally while living in Switzerland & Germany from 1994-1998. After returning to the U.S. I was employed as a localization project manager at various technology companies in the United States, such as Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard.
In 2003 I became involved in the Food & Wine industry, working in wine sales and promoting an e-commerce start-up venture which sells online video clips of cooking demonstrations by Las Vegas chefs. Currently, I provide globalization consulting services for small businesses wishing to expand their online presence to include foreign markets.
My translation experience includes: Technical whitepapers, software UI and documentation, license agreements, readme files, install programs; marketing collateral, sales proposals, press releases, and product feature summaries.
- Translated user interface and documentation (printed/online) for all components of German office productivity suite.
- Quality assurance testing on final product and approved localized packaging/artwork.
- CD testing for correct install and program execution in international locales.
- Translated online help for a German software game.
- Revised market research questionnaire in German for international research firm.
In addition to being fluent in German, I also am fluent in Swiss-German and have an intermediate comprehension level in French. I've traveled extensively througout Western Europe and Canada.
