Hello,

Hope this helps.

Regards,

It seems this clause is not taken very seriously, Özden:

You are certainly right, Marc Jun 26, 2006

I don't know, though, what the age of majority is in the USA (or rather, in the state of New York) - but it shouldn't be under 18, oder?

In any case, you know you can always submit a Support Ticket, Marc.

Dear all,

Thank you for participating in ProZ.com and in this forum. As you may have learned from other topics in this forum, this forum is dedicated only to "Translators for Kids", a charity for children born on ProZ.com. Since the original question seems to be taken care of, I am closing this topic now.

Thank you for your understanding.
