Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / ovk. van opdracht
Dutch term or phrase: functievertegenwoordiger  
Hmmm... Has anyone seen this term before: 'functievertegenwoordiger'? I have encountered it at the bottom of a contract for services as follows:

opdrachtgever
Rechtsgeldig vertegenwoordigd door:

naam vertegenwoordiger
*functievertegenwoordiger*

That's it - no further context. Suggestions anyone? RSVP. TIA. Cheers, R.

agree  Natasha Ziada (X): Didn't see your answer till after I submitted mine. Same interpretation. Don't seem to be able to open your link.
3 hrs
  -> thanks-ref is just there to back my answer. wasn't concerned about the actual link. sorry 'bout that.
agree  philgoddard: I presume you're saying it's a typo and it should be two words.
5 hrs
  -> not really. but it has to be read as two words and not as a single term. but yeah, maybe 2 words would cause less confusion. I am never really surprised by the Dutch (Nl or Bel) I see.
agree  Kitty Brussaard: If this is indeed a typo and the source term should have read "functie vertegenwoordiger" (which seems to make most sense in the given context).

agree  freekfluweel: Ik zie in de BT ook maar één woord staan (dat overigens niet bestaat!)

  -> Thanks Freek. Something along the lines of 'position/title representative' is probably what is meant here.
