Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) | | Dutch term or phrase: verlening van décharge | Ik kom maar niet tot een fatsoenlijke zin. Het komt uit algemene verkoopvoorwaarden. Dit is de hele zin:
Acceptatie: de verlening van décharge aan de Leverancier met betrekking tot het voorwerp van acceptatie.
Dit is de enige keer dat het in de tekst voorkomt, dus meer context kan ik helaas niet geven.
Zoals altijd hartelijk dank voor jullie hulp. |
| | | granting of a discharge | Explanation:
It means discharging them of their liabilities in relation to the items supplied - in fact that would be another possible translation. It's just another way of saying "acceptance".

They're supposed to be defining "acceptance", but they've actually included that word in the definition. If they were a dictionary editor, they'd get the sack! |
