 |
|
I read on the US State Dept. website here...
http://travel.state.gov/travel/living/teaching/teaching_1240.html
...that the only binding form of a contract is the *Korean* version.
I have been presented a contract in English and English only. Will this be valid to Korean authorities should a problem arise? |

Get a copy of the Korean one as well, before signing. At the end of the English contract it should say something along the lines of:
| Quote: |
| The Governing language of the contract shall be Korean. The English translation of this Contract is made for the purpose of convenience. |
If disputes should ever arise then there's no point of shoving an English translation in front of a judge or civil servant. |

| ...and what if the two versions are not identical (obviously I cannot tell)? Would that be a more serious matter... fraud? |

In that case, Korean version always supercedes the English one. An English version is just for convenience of Korean lies to get you here.
I hope y'all can read Korean.  |

| English-only contracts are binding, but if you need to go to court or whatever, it must be translated into Korean. |
