Tips

  • Act on proposals before the expiry date — after that date the proposal is marked Expired and you will need to ask your service provider to resend.
  • If you have questions or want to negotiate terms, contact your service provider via Chat before accepting or declining.
  • Accepting a proposal does not automatically create an invoice — that is done by your service provider. Expect to receive an invoice shortly after accepting.
