    handle the work. If they promise to not charge
    you anything, but later they may have any kind of
    points in their terms or condition regarding the
    payment for extra inspections.

    responsibility to handle your work without even
    investigating or meeting them.

    who make a deal with you without you properly
    verifying them. The trust isn't really present
    between the two and if there is no trust, how can
    you even give them the responsibly to handle up
