Hinnakirjas

Hinnakirjas is a term used in Estonian to refer to a price list, a document that lists the prices of goods or services offered by a business. A hinnakirjas can be a printed document, a catalog, or a page on a company's website, and it serves to inform customers about current prices, discounts, and applicable terms.

A typical price list includes item or service descriptions, unit prices, currency (often euro in Estonia), and information about value-added tax or other taxes. It may also indicate additional charges such as delivery, installation, or service fees, as well as any quantity discounts, bulk pricing, membership rates, or seasonal promotions. Many hinnakirjas also show the price validity period and the date of last update.

Hinnakirjas are used in retail, hospitality, professional services, and online platforms. They can be public-facing for customers or internal for procurement and invoicing. In many cases, businesses maintain separate price lists for different customer groups, such as retail customers and business-to-business clients.

Price lists are typically advisory or indicative, but advertised prices must be accurate and up-to-date. In consumer protection contexts, inaccurate or misleading price claims can lead to complaints or penalties. In online sales, price indications should be clear, readily visible, and shown in the required currency.

Regularly updating hinnakirjas helps ensure transparency and trust between sellers and customers, and supports straightforward comparison shopping.
