peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1duties to examine for and notify of defects Explanation: ...is how I would translate those particular words. To answer your question, however, the 100% match seems to be a 'very free' rendition of the original text, taking into account what is probably the content of the act mentioned. I'm not saying the translation is bad or wrong, but I would have supplied a different translation of the sentence, than the one you are showing. My translation probably also wouldn't have been longer than one sentence (a maximum of two) and would have contained the reference to the act itself. |

to be obliged to examine and inform Explanation: I would turn it around, as this more clearly spells out that the Purchaser has obligations to examine and inform -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-02-19 15:42:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Where German uses nouns (e.g. Obliegenheiten) here meaning obligation, English commonly uses verbs (e.g. to be obliged) |
