what happens if I keep a job offer pending until its due date is past?

I have a client, He sent me a job offer and I am still waiting for some material from him that is required to complete the job successfully. I am wondering if he sends me the material after the due date for the project while I haven't accepted the job offer and it is still pending. What would be the right way forward from that point?

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Ali, due dates on offers and contracts are for reference only, you can still accept the offer once the due date has passed. No, offers are not considered in JSS calculations at all.

Hi Ali,

 

If the job offer expires the funds will be returned to the client automatically. I would suggest you don't accept the offer until you have enough information to start working on your client's project. If needed your client can send you a new offer if this one expires.

 

Thanks!

No, the expiry date for the job offer is 21 may. But the due date to submit
the video (its a video editing job) is tomorrow. Should i accept a job
offer with an expired due date? Also do the pending job offers affect my
JSS or profile ranking negatively?
