;'''All Contracts must be opened via PIR to accept them.''' | |||
:* PIR sorts the contracts in Queue Order and guarantees the integrity of each contract to give our customers a consistent experience. | |||
:* PIR ensures the contract reward and collateral for the route is correct | |||
:* PIR filters out contracts from banned customers, bad Upwell structure locations, and Pochven Home systems | |||
In other words, using the in-game Contracts window to accept PushX freight carries significant risk of accepting bad contracts which you will be unable to complete, or handling freight from banned customers who have previously attempted to scam or otherwise harm PushX haulers. | |||
'''Accepting contracts outside of PIR may result in significant lost ISK and removal from PushX.''' | |||
;ALWAYS read the entire contract from top to bottom '''twice''' before clicking accept. Once you hit that accept button you take full responsibility for anything that happens with it. | |||
;Be sure to look for SPLIT CONTRACTS. | |||
:* The customer should leave a note in the description of the contract indicating it is a split | |||
:* Seniors are trained to identify Split Contracts with matched color coding and a Contract Note indicting they are a split. | |||
:* Seniors will properly move Split Contracts into the correct Queue placement for Standard, Jump Freight, and Rush Freight. | |||
You can see more info here [[Split Contracts & Multiple Pick Ups|Split Contracts & Multiple Pick Ups]]. Split contracts are to be taken by 1 hauler in 1 trip. Dues to how split contracts work they MAY or MAY NOT be grouped together in PIR. It's your responsibility to identify split contracts. If one part of a split contract is taken without the other parts it causes issues for the customer and other pushers. | |||
