The customer will receive an acknowledgment of the order, either directly online or by separate email. This acknowledgement constitutes an acceptance of the order and initiation of a contract between you and Opoplan.

Opoplan reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment from our Payment Platform, or if you are procuring your design through a local construction professional who is a subscriber to Opoplan and their subscription or credits have expired, or for any other reason at our discretion.
