Hello,

Our question now is whether the offer can be signed as is or if important things are still missing. Payment is made after service delivery

Reviewing your statement in a professional and comprehensible manner takes quite some time and effort; lawyers, the consumer advice center, or for example myself have nothing to give away for free. I assume the users reading here don’t either :confused:

I was not concerned with a detailed individual review but rather whether there are any major irregularities or if essential standard contract parts/services are missing. I would have thought the expert would notice something like that after reading through once.

Hello,

What you posted here – additionally without prices – corresponds to the normal standard offer "without" specification of scope or time. Dealing with this – where an addition makes sense/where not – cannot be done by just skimming through!

That this offer meets the standard is already valuable information.
Thank you.
