Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

No two assignments are alike. The following choices determine how strict or how broad you structure the order confirmation.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Fixed price or hourly rate? A fixed price provides certainty but requires a clear scope; an hourly rate is flexible but increases the risk of disputes regarding hours.
Obligation of result or obligation of effort? Do you promise a concrete result or a good effort? This determines when you fall short and are liable.
Are the deadlines fatal? In the case of fatal deadlines, you are in default immediately after the date; for target deadlines, a notice of default is required first.
How is overtime handled? Stipulating in advance that additional work requires written approval prevents unexpected invoices and unpaid hours.
How is approval given? Signature, agreement by email, or payment of the first invoice can all constitute acceptance; explicitly record the chosen form.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in an order confirmation?

A good order confirmation clarifies what parties can expect from each other. The components below form a cohesive whole and prevent most subsequent disputes.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties Always Full name, Chamber of Commerce number, and representative of the client and contractor.
Description of the assignment Always Concretely described activities, results, and what specifically does not fall under the assignment.
Price and payment Always Fixed price or hourly rate, VAT, invoicing date and payment term.
Planning and delivery For term agreements Start, (partial) delivery dates, and whether deadlines are binding or indicative.
Additional work For projects with scope risk When something constitutes additional work and how it is approved and priced.
General Terms and Conditions Recommended Reference to the applicable terms and conditions, including the time of provision.
Liability Recommended Limitation of liability, usually to the invoice amount or the insured sum.
Agree Always Method of confirmation: signature, reply email, or payment as acceptance.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An order confirmation is only effective if you send it at the right time and properly record the agreement. Follow the sequence below.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before the start Send the order confirmation before you start work. This way, the agreement is clear before any costs are incurred.
Upon shipment Attach your general terms and conditions as an attachment or refer to them. Conditions apply only if the other party could have taken notice of them.
At the agreement Request a signature or agreement via email and save it. The written agreement is your proof in the event of a dispute.
In case of changes Confirm every adjustment or additional work again in writing. Later agreements without confirmation are difficult to substantiate.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

Most disputes regarding assignments do not arise from malicious intent, but from unclear or belatedly recorded agreements. You see these mistakes most often.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Too vague description of the assignment Discussion as to whether or not certain work had been agreed upon. Describe concretely what is and what is not included in the assignment.
Confirm afterwards Work is already done before the price is fixed. Always confirm the order before the start of the work.
General terms and conditions not provided The terms and conditions are non-applicable or voidable. Enclose the terms and conditions or send them along with verifiable proof.
No overtime policy Unpaid extra hours or dispute regarding the final invoice. Stipulate that additional work must be approved in writing in advance.
No agreement recorded No evidence that the other party consented. Save the signed confirmation or the email agreement.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

The content of an order confirmation varies depending on the situation. If you recognize your case, you know what to pay extra attention to.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
One-time service You deliver a clearly defined job, such as advice or a design. Sharp scope and clear deliverables.
Ongoing service You have been working for the same client for a long time. Duration, notice period and periodic invoicing.
Project of uncertain scope The scope may grow during the work. Clear additional work policy and approval procedure.
Working with subcontractors You engage third parties for (part of) the work. Liability, confidentiality, and the passing on of agreements to the subcontractor.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

An order confirmation sets out the core of an assignment. For more extensive or specific agreements, a supplementary or different document is often required.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You work structurally with another party Cooperation Agreement In a long-term collaboration, you define roles, input, and profit sharing more fully.
You exchange confidential information Confidentiality Agreement For strict confidentiality with a penalty clause, a separate agreement is better than a clause.
The client does not pay invoices Debt collection If payment is not received, we will help you collect the outstanding debt.
Explanation of this document

Drafting an order confirmation, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what order confirmations are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is an order confirmation?
An engagement confirmation is the written confirmation by the contractor of an assignment agreed upon orally or in writing, summarizing the core agreements: the scope, the rate, the duration, and the applicable terms and conditions. The engagement confirmation is not a fully detailed contract for services — it is concise, purposeful, and practical — but it does have legal effect: it records the agreed terms in writing, makes the applicability of the general terms and conditions known to the client, and serves as proof of the assignment and the scope in the event of a subsequent dispute. In the service industry, the engagement confirmation is the most efficient instrument for quickly and clearly establishing the legal relationship without the administrative burden of a fully detailed contract. Our lawyers will draft an engagement confirmation for you that describes the scope watertight, correctly declares the general terms and conditions applicable, and serves as evidence in the event of a dispute regarding the assignment.
How do you declare your general terms and conditions applicable via the order confirmation?
The order confirmation is the most suitable moment to declare your general terms and conditions applicable. Pursuant to Article 6:234 of the Dutch Civil Code, the contractor must provide the general terms and conditions to the client before or at the time of concluding the agreement. The order confirmation must contain an explicit reference to your general terms and conditions — stating where they can be found on your website or including an attached copy. If you send the order confirmation by email, you can include the general terms and conditions as an attachment and explicitly refer to the attachment in the text of the email. A mere small footnote or a reference on the back of a letter is, in certain circumstances, insufficient to withstand a claim of voidability due to failure to provide the terms and conditions. Our lawyers draft an incorporation clause that makes your terms and conditions enforceable.
How do you handle scope changes after the order confirmation?
An engagement letter describing the scope immediately raises the question of how you handle scope changes —additional work or reduced work. Your engagement letter must contain a provision stating that changes to the scope are only binding if agreed upon in writing, and that additional work will be compensated at the agreed rate. This prevents an informal email or a verbal request for extra work from resulting in a free expansion of the assignment. Our lawyers draft an additional work clause that protects your revenue in the event of scope changes.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft an engagement confirmation that clearly describes the scope, correctly declares the general terms and conditions applicable, includes a clause regarding additional work, and serves as evidence in the event of a dispute regarding the engagement.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
