Client Responsibility

  • Clients are responsible for providing accurate appointment details, including date, time, language pair, service type, platform link, and any relevant instructions.
  • Clients should ensure that all parties have access to the meeting platform or phone number before the scheduled appointment time.
  • Delays caused by missing links, incorrect information, or unavailable participants may still be billed.

No Guarantee of Outcome

Russell Trilingual provides language services but does not guarantee any specific legal, medical, academic, immigration, business, or personal outcome.
