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.
