hierover wordt niet afgezien zo een getrokken wordt.

Dutch to English Bus/Financial conditions and terms of sale

help! I don't have a clue. Am not sure this belongs in "Dutch" but since the numbers are greater....
Sentence is:
Invoices shall be paid at XXX, hierover wordt niet afgezien zo een getrokken wordt.

Urgent(has to be sent off in 30 minutes.)
Anyone know what this means?
TIA

there will be no exceptions (to this rule/condition) if one is drawn

'one' must refer to cheque or something else in the money line. have only just seen your question - hope this may be of some help. Good luck, Lindsay

afzien + van (I\'m guessing this is sloppy Dutch and should be hiervan rather than hierover) = abandon, renounce, waive, relinquish, so could also be there will be no waivers
zo = als = if
een could also refer, for example, to lottery ticket

incomplete?

Apart from the strange wording, I also have the feeling that something is missing here.

hierover wordt niet afgezien - hiervan wordt niet afgeweken (without exception)?

zo een getrokken wordt - ??? what does 'een' refer to?

Are you working on the original doc or is it a translated text?

Tina Vonhof (X) : Maybe translated from another language, it doesn't make sense.
