CONTEXT provides Clients with the best possible quality of service. Should a Client be dissatisfied with the service, CONTEXT will endeavour to rectify the translated or localised product, or replace an interpreter, or refund the Client’s payment. However, any such refund is conditional on the Client demonstrating conclusively how CONTEXT failed to meet its service obligations.

Private Clients who booked an interpreter for serving notice to get married may get a refund of the fees paid in advance of their appointment at the Registrar’s office if they demonstrate conclusively that their appointment cannot go ahead. However, an administration fee reflecting the work carried out prior to the cancellation will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.
