Summarise the agreement before payment

Before payment is made, summarise the essential elements of the sale.

Make sure both parties are clear about:

  • the exact item and version;
  • final price;
  • included accessories;
  • previously disclosed defects and modifications;
  • delivery method;
  • any separate costs;
  • agreed timing.

If anything changed during negotiations, this is the moment to make it explicit.

A short written summary can prevent many later misunderstandings.
