The acceptance receipt, and what it actually states

2026-09-12

A dispute is rarely about whether the work was done — it is about who accepted it, and when.

A dispute is rarely about whether the work was done — it is about who accepted it, and when. After acceptance all you have is an “ok, great” email — and nothing you can rely on when payment does not arrive. A year later it is hard to document who treated the work as accepted, and when — and that is usually what the dispute is about.

The receipt states each fact separately and says who stated it — it never glues them into one sentence. Once the work is accepted, Umova issues an immutable receipt with a content fingerprint. A confirmation submitted through the Mirror link is recorded by the receipt as a separate finding — together with the caveat that it evidences the wording of the statement, not the identity of whoever submitted it.

Issue it a second time and you get the SAME document with the same number — nothing multiplies in your records. You can issue the receipt only after acceptance — before that we refuse, because there is nothing to attest yet. You download the receipt as a file and find it by its number — one case may have several, and the newest supersedes the earlier ones.

We do not claim that payment means acceptance — that is a question of legal qualification, and we do not settle it. The document carries a digital seal that detects any later change to its content — and states plainly that it is not a qualified signature. The document freezes its content as at the moment of issue — a later change to the term no longer touches the receipt already issued.

We are looking into adding an external timestamp to the receipt.

Informational material, not legal advice. We state the parameter and where to verify it — we do not assess your situation.
