E & Oe

[Sharon]

What's that mean? It's underneath the payment terms on an invoice I've received.

Ta!

It's all in capitals, think the forum changed my caps to stop me shouting!

Thank you!

As a matter of interest, why would a company write 'E&OE' on an invoice when 99% of us don't have a clue what it stands for?

 

[bwglaw]

It is to protect their right to rectify in the event of any errors i.e. invoice is at £100.00 when it should have been £1000.00. It has become standard practice and is not entirely a legal requirement to put E&OE on invoices because contract law covers the doctrine of mistake, genuine ones!

Since when did anyone understand the law?! A lawyer is your interpreter!
