This charge shall be at least 25% of the total fee and at least 50 USD, CAD, GBP or EUR.

5. Additional Charges

In the following cases, additional charges shall be imposed: Changes in the file to be translated or reductions in the size of the job by the client after the job has been assigned shall incur a processing fee of at least 50 USD, CAD, GBP or EUR or an increase in the payment by an amount based on the proportion of the number of changed words to the total size of the job. The remarks in "Payment Terms," "Withdrawal from the Contract" and "Liability" remain in effect.
