Joinery Estimating is not made completely aware of the entire
details beforehand. The contract comes into operation from the time when the customer accepts
the Joinery Estimating proposal in writing or verbally or, in cases where no proposal has been made, when
Joinery Estimating confirms in writing an
estimate order placed by the customer.
1.3 Any commitments made only commit
Joinery Estimating after explicit, written confirmation on the part of

2.2 In the event of the customer cancelling a
estimate order, the costs of cancellation will be for an amount equal to the cost of that part of the
