Lõppvastuvõtu

Lõppvastuvõtu refers to the final acceptance or taking over of a delivered good, service, or work. In Estonian contractual law and business practices, it signifies the formal confirmation by the recipient that the delivered item meets the agreed-upon specifications and quality standards. This stage is crucial as it often marks the point at which the buyer's payment obligations become fully due and the seller's liability for defects may change.

The process of lõppvastuvõtu can vary depending on the nature of the contract. For goods, it might involve inspection, testing, and verification against the purchase order or contract specifications. For construction projects or complex services, lõppvastuvõtu is typically a more detailed process, often involving documentation, site inspections, and formal sign-off by authorized representatives of both parties.

Upon successful lõppvastuvõtu, the recipient generally loses the right to claim for defects that were reasonably discoverable during the acceptance process. However, latent defects, which are not apparent upon reasonable inspection, may still be subject to warranty claims. The specific terms and conditions governing lõppvastuvõtu are usually detailed in the contract itself, outlining the inspection period, criteria for acceptance, and procedures for addressing any discrepancies. This formal act ensures clarity and mutual understanding regarding the fulfillment of contractual obligations.
