Spanish term

N/A

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This is referring to "Law 15/2010, of 5 July, modifying Law 3/2004, of 29 December, which establishes measures to combat arrears in commercial operations, especially in its Second and Third Transitional Provisions"

TIA!!

Así mismo, y como indica la Estipulación Novena, de cada factura /certificación se retendrá un N/A en concepto de garantía sobre el importe total de la misma.

Kittilina is probably right. N/A is usually Not Applicable but that makes no sense here.
FVS (X) Mar 12, 2011:
I think you may be getting mixed up here. Estipulación Novena would refer to a clause in a contract or terms and conditions, etc. I have translated a lot of stuff on Ley 15/2010 and it says nothing like this. Neither does it reach an Articulo 9 - it has 5 principal 'Articulos'.

So you need to look at your contract or whatever and proceed from there.

It rather looks like there is a construction contract involved here - from the use of certification - and amounts are retained, as is normal, to secure claims for defects etc.

S Ben Price (asker) Mar 12, 2011:
No, no more context that would be of any use unfortunately.
kittilina Mar 12, 2011:
Estipulación? I don't think Not Applicable is appropriate here as it doesn't make sense within the sentence. I had a look at both Ley 3/2005 and 15/2010 and the ninth article refers to abusive clauses and does not seem to make any reference to withholding amounts by way of guarantee. Maybe it refers to the preamble? Have you got a bit more context you could give us?

not yet assigned, or TBD (to be decided)

I think it means "will retain an amount, not yet assigned ..." or "will retain an amount, TBD ..."

The link below shows that N/A is used to mean "no asignado"
Peer comment(s):

agree Susana Negroles : I think it refers to an amount of money to be retained, but they haven´t decided the percentage or amount yet.
