Hi everyone,



I am translating a PC user\'s manual and some half an hour ago I realized that one chapter absolutely does not belong to that text. The topic is quite similar, but it looks rather like a part of dealer agreement than end-user information...



I really don\'t know what to do. I am delivering the job tonight and I shall definitely mention this fact to the client, but I\'d be glad to receive any suggestions/comments.

Has anyone encount... See more

Has anyone encountered such things before? Do you think I should contact the client immediately?



Thanks in advance,

Your client might have a strong interest to hide dealer agreements from end-users
