Step 7: Order Overview

The order overview displays a table with all configurations you have selected. Below the table, there is a checkbox that allows you to accept the following attachments and terms. The attachments include various downloadable PDF documents, such as the General Terms and Conditions and other relevant contractual documents. To the right of the table, the total price and the Order button are displayed. This button is disabled by default and will only be activated once the attachments and terms have been accepted.
