In these cases, the service only includes general advice, and possible other actions, such as the preparation of documents, must always be agreed separately.
If the offered service is a ready-made document, the purpose of the service is to provide the User with the document he needs. In the service, the user answers the questions posed by the lawyer, based on which the lawyer prepares a document and delivers it to the e-mail provided by the User.
The user can also make a request for a quote for handling the matter, to which the lawyer will give an answer and an offer. Submitting or receiving a request for a quote does not force the User to order the service from the Service Provider. The order is only created when the User declares in writing that he accepts the offer.

When the user has been informed that by proceeding further, the Service Provider will be given a mandate and the user will then move forward in the service (e.g. with the buttons described above), the user has given the Service Provider a mandate, committed to the related payment obligation and accepted these conditions.

Processing of the assignment can also be refused due to the user’s previous payment problems or the Service Provider’s resources, competence or limitations related to the services.

If, for one reason or another, the Service Provider does not take care of the assignment, the User will always be informed about the matter and, if necessary, the assignment can be offered under other conditions.
