Avètisman sou tradiksyon yo

Mèsi pou vizit ou fè nan sit entènèt Distri Lekòl Rejyon Palm Beach la (“Website”). Ou kab tradui sit entènèt sa a an plizyè lang diferan si w itilize Google™ Translate kòm sèvis yon lòt antite (the “Service”) ki founi sèvis wobo pou fè tradiksyon otomatik paj sit yo sou entènèt la.  Nou mete sèvis Google™ Translate sa a aladispozisyon itilizatè oswa ou menm ("User" oswa “You”) kòm yon sèvis piblik gratis.

TANPRI, BYEN LI AVÈTISMAN AN AVAN OU ITILIZE SÈVIS LA.

Malgre sèvis tradiksyon Google la itilize teknoloji avanse dènye kri, li pa itilize entèvansyon moun pou fè tradiksyon yo.  Kidonk, tradiksyon ki fèt nan kad sèvis sa a ki founi la a sèlman bay yon ide apwoksimatif sou kontni reyèl sa ki di nan vèsyon orijinal sit entènèt la. Ou pa ta dwe repoze w sèlman sou Google™ Translate pou jwenn yon tradiksyon egzat sa sit entènèt la vle di.  Se PA tout pati nan tèks yo ki kab tradui kòrèkteman epi ou kab menm jwenn kèk pati nan sit entènèt yo ki pa kab tradui ditou.  Gen kèk fichye ak lòt pati ankò ki pa kab tradui, tankou paegzanp men se pa sa sèlman, bouton grafik yo, meni an woulo yo ak foto yo.  Anplis, genyen kèk aplikasyon ak/oswa sèvis ki gen dwa pa kab fonksyone nòmalman jan pou yo ta dwe apre yo fin tradui.

Distri lekòl la pa gen kontwòl sou nati, kontni ak kredi sèvis la epi natirèlman, li pa kapab garanti okenn presizyon, fyabilite, oswa ponktyalite tradiksyon. Ni manb komite egzekitif distri a, ni lekòl yo oswa anplwaye distri a, pa aksepte okenn responsabilite pou fot oswa erè nan tradiksyon an oswa responsabilite pou nenpòt pèt, domaj ak lòt pwoblèm, ki pa limite ak, konsekans pèt endirèk enpòtan oswa domaj ki rive an koneksyon avèk itilizasyon sèvis tradiksyon Google la.
