English Translation of the Terms and Conditions of Sale for a Cybersecurity Software

We were recently engaged to translate from French into English the general terms and conditions of sale (CGV) of a software solution developed by a French publisher specializing in cybersecurity.

A Tool for Monitoring Digital Vulnerabilities

The software enables client companies to:

• monitor vulnerabilities across their digital platforms,

• access a customized dashboard, and

• benefit from technical support structured around a clearly defined scope of services.

The contract also set out the terms of server maintenance as well as the rules applicable to the protection of personal data.

A Legal and Technical Translation with No Compromise on Readability

This assignment involved translating a document that combined:

• contractual language,

• IT terminology, and

• regulatory references, particularly regarding personal data.

We took special care to align the terminology with contract law standards for software agreements in English, while keeping the style clear and accessible to an international audience—many of whom are not lawyers.
