German term or phrase: Gegenbestätigung Gegenbestätigungen des Käufers unter Hinweis auf seine Geschäftsbedingungen wird hiermit ausdrücklich widersprochen. "Confirmation to the contrary" sounds really strange to me. Does anyone know an elegant and English-sounding translation of this GTC provision? Many thanks in advance!

Diana Obermeyer United Kingdom 14:44 Feb 27, 2020  I just stumbled across this discussion. Counter confirmation doesn't have "native hits" either. I would just paraphrase: We expressly object to confirmations under reservation of the Client’s own terms and conditions. Trudy Peters United States Nate 01:59 Nov 29, 2012  The German sentence is correct as it stands. You have to read it as *(den) Gegenbestätigungen wird widersprochen.* nate lanu Italy 17:09 Nov 28, 2012  I try to explain better, if it was"Gegenbestätigungen" it should be "werden widersprochen" not "wird", but "gegen Bestätigungen ...wird widersprochen" is correct Diana Zehetner ASKER 17:01 Nov 28, 2012  "Confirmation to the contrary by the" returns 9 hits on Google of which 8 are from German and Swiss companies...I am sorry but that does not sound that good... Trudy Peters United States 16:56 Nov 28, 2012  www.cooling-bar.com/agb.htmlCached Confirmation to the contrary by the customer with reference to his/her/its own general terms and conditions or terms and conditions of sale is expressly rejected. The co. is in Taiwan, but I see nothing wrong with "Confirmation to the contrary." Lots of ghits. Diana Zehetner ASKER 16:34 Nov 28, 2012  Positive, I have checked and it appears like this in a number of GTCs but the English translations are clumsy and do not make much sense. Thanks nate lanu Italy 16:31 Nov 28, 2012  are you sure it is not an error and should be "gegen Bestätigungen"? if so, it would be "widersprechen gegen" Automatic update in 00:
