French law · Prepare your case, step by step
Changing an accepted quote in France
To prepare an amendment to an accepted French quote, retain the agreed version and separate unchanged, added and removed work. Show proposed price changes and their effect on the timetable. A request for extra work does not itself prove agreement to an extra charge. This comparison prepares an amendment before acceptance; it does not resolve an existing workmanship dispute.

Fictional example. A designer is to deliver five visuals. The client proposes three additional formats and a later delivery date, but no amendment has been signed. Place proposed additions, removals and dates beside the accepted quote and keep the unsigned status visible.
Why keep signature status visible?
Avoid these shortcuts: Replacing the original quotation without a version trail ; Presenting a proposed amendment as accepted.
