acceptance
In short and in plain language
Acceptance means agreeing to something, such as an order or finished work.
In building contracts, the client says the work mostly matches the contract.
This usually starts the time limit for claims about defects. It also means payment is due.

Acceptance means agreeing to something, for example an order or finished work. In construction contracts (German: Abnahme), the client declares that the work is essentially in line with the contract. This usually starts the limitation period for defect claims and makes payment due.
