PLAIN VERSION

Pay rent more than 5 days late, and you owe an extra 4%.

$60 the late charge if you miss the window

Formula, from the lease form defaults: 4% × rent, after day 5.

"LATE FEES. In addition to rent, Tenant shall pay a late charge in the amount of $____ (If left blank, 4% of the rent payment) for each rent payment made ____ days after the day it is due (if left blank, 5 days if rent is paid monthly, 1 day if rent is paid weekly)."

THE CLAUSE SIMPLE

PLAIN VERSION

Bring the car back with less gas, and Hertz sets the price of that gas.

Drove under 75 miles? Some locations charge you anyway, unless you show a fuel receipt at return.

No charge if you return it with as much fuel as you got.

  • for any reason, or for no reason
  • without telling you first

And you still owe everything on the account.

How it worksCómo funciona

Upload your documentSuba su documento

PDF, photo, or Word. Up to 25 MB. No account, no cost.PDF, foto o Word. Hasta 25 MB. Sin cuenta y sin costo.

We simplify itLo simplificamos

It becomes one clear page: what it is, what it means, what to do. A person reviews every result.Se convierte en una página clara: qué es, qué significa, qué hacer. Una persona revisa cada resultado.

It arrives in your emailLlega a su correo

Usually in 3 to 6 hours. Always within a day. Then your file is deleted.Normalmente en 3 a 6 horas. Siempre en menos de un día. Después su archivo se borra.

You choose how simple.Usted elige qué tan simple.

The same clause, at two depths. You pick when you upload. No facts are lost at any level; only jargon is.La misma cláusula, a dos profundidades. Usted elige al subir su documento. En ningún nivel se pierden datos; solo se pierde la jerga.

THE ORIGINAL · 401(K) PLAN

"Limit on matching contribution. In applying the matching contribution, your salary deferrals that exceed four (4)% of your compensation for such period will not be considered (i.e., will not be matched)."

SIMPLE

Above 4% of your pay, there is no match. Save more if you want. The employer match stops at 4%.

VERY SIMPLE

Your job adds money when you save for retirement. It stops adding after 4 cents of each dollar you earn. Example: you earn $50,000 a year. Your job adds up to $2,000.

The picker is in the upload form. Whichever you choose, the report lists what moved and what stayed word for word.El selector está en el formulario de subida. Elija lo que elija, el informe lista qué se movió y qué quedó palabra por palabra.

Why we do thisPor qué lo hacemos

Your documents should not need a translation. But they do. Complexity has a price: fines you did not see coming, benefits you never claim, contracts you sign without knowing what you accepted. The less time, schooling, or help you have, the more it costs you. We want to remove that cost.Sus documentos no deberían necesitar traducción. Pero la necesitan. La complejidad tiene un precio: multas que no vio venir, beneficios que nunca cobró, contratos firmados sin saber qué aceptó. Entre menos tiempo, estudios o ayuda tenga usted, más caro le sale. Queremos eliminar ese costo.
