# Estimate Disclaimers

Estimate Disclaimers in PaintScout are customizable messages that appear below the signature box when customers accept or decline an estimate.

## What are Acceptance Disclaimers?

PaintScout requires an electronic signature from your customer upon acceptance. The acceptance disclaimer is the message displayed below the signature box when customers accept estimates or additional work.

## How do I let customers decline estimates?

Toggle on the **Declined** option to give customers a decline button on the estimate. You can add a custom disclaimer message, similar to the acceptance disclaimer.

Customers can also provide a reason for their decline after clicking the "decline" button on the estimate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/customization/templates-and-presets/estimate-disclaimers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
