2007.12.26(Review of 2003.10.16 edition)
Greetings!
It's been only four days since we were with you last, but so very much has happened during that time: the winter solstice, the Emperor's birthday, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. And with the New Year's holiday set to start in a couple of days, we'll just be able to manage two editions before we part company with you again. Wow! There's no time to waste, is there?
FINE PRINT / SMALL PRINT 細則、(契約の)詳細事項
- The fine print or small print is the part of a contract or similar document that's written in smaller type. Sometimes it contains details and conditions that make the document less favorable to the signer.
- fine print または small print は、契約書などの一部で、小さな活字で書かれた細則のことです。この部分には、署名する人にとって、その書類が不利になるような、詳細な説明や条件が含まれていることもあります。
- a: What do you mean we can't change our flight date? They never told us that!
b: Actually, they did. I checked our flight confirmation, and it's written in the fine print. - Be sure you read the fine print before signing the lease.
- There are three pages of small print at the end of the agreement, filled with all kinds of legal jargon I can't make sense of, so I'm having a lawyer look at it.
- There are some hidden fees mentioned only in the small print that you should be aware of before you open an account there.
Take care!
