Common use of Acceptance of your order Clause in Contracts

Acceptance of your order. This paragraph establishes the contract. This is very important in an Internet contract because there are so many places in the buying procedure where it could be claimed that the contract has been completed. By leaving the point at which the contract is formed as late as possible, you avoid a position arising where: • you hold your customers’ goods; or • every piece of advertising or information on your website could constitute an offer; or • a customer could claim goods that you inadvertently priced wrongly; or • goods are provided later than you expected or represented. There are three options. Make quite sure that one of these accurately reflects the way your order process works.
