Clear description of the work and cost price 10,000,-.\n\n On January 6, I asked them whether the container (removal of rubble) was included.\n\n January 7 confirmation that this is the case and whether I want to return the signed documents.\n\n January 7th quote, which had already been signed by them, was returned signed digitally.\n\n Today, January 12, I received an email from them with the following content:\n\n 'We accidentally mixed up two quotes.\n\n You have therefore received an incorrect quotation with an incorrect technical description of the work and an incorrect price quote.\n\n Our apologies for this.\n \nYou can consider the quotation of January 5, 2022 that you received from us as not applicable and not sent.\n\n We will send you a new quote as soon as possible.'\n\n Strange, the technical description completely matches the work and the amount is also in line with expectations.\n\n I can't imagine that a new quote will be more beneficial for me.\n\n That is why I am asking you in advance what my rights are.\n\n To complete: The quote states that I have to return it within 2 months (which I more than met of course).\n\n The General Terms and Conditions state:\n\n Quotations and offers made to the other party are without obligation, so that\n\n the other party cannot derive any rights from this, unless otherwise agreed in writing.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n A special situation. If I understand correctly, you had already agreed to the quote and had returned it signed.\n\n If that is the case, you could possibly argue that an agreement had already been reached.\n \nAn agreement is concluded after acceptance of an offer. When it comes to accepting a non-binding offer, this can sometimes be revoked immediately by the other party. The question then could be whether 5 days later is still fast enough.\n\n If an agreement has already been reached, the other party cannot withdraw from it by simply withdrawing a quotation.\n\n Withdrawal of an offer is only possible if no agreement has yet been reached.\n\n Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require legal assistance.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you for your answer.\n\n However, I responded as follows:\n\n 'I honestly don't see any incorrect technical description.\n\n The description matches the job exactly.\n\n This is a bit strange.\n\n Well, perhaps you will come up with an even better proposition, otherwise we will stick to the concluded agreement.'\n \nLook, if I had received a quote with a description of a job that did not match my work to be done, okay, then I understand that something went wrong. But again, the description is spot on.\n\n The total amount is also completely logically structured; no strange things.\n\n I'll just wait and see, but I'm pessimistic.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I understand what you mean. In that case there would be (visibly) an obvious mistake. That does not seem to be the case now.\n\n So, depending on the response, you could take the position that the company should implement the agreement.\n\n If a solution cannot be found, please feel free to contact me by phone or email as soon as you have received a response from the company.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002744357213,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-79575-bouwbedrijf-annuleert-getekende-offerte","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
