1 hr confidence: 
acceptance farce Explanation: Since it doesn't seem practicable to provide more context, I'll take a punt. I have found "pretence" for Fiktion in my ancient but often handy Cassells dictionary. Maybe the writer means that acceptance by the customer without official testing or approval amounts to a farce, as the reliability of the product is not guaranteed |

peer agreement (net): +1fictitious / notional acceptance (of work) Explanation: Literature. Definitons and Examples (0) Bauabnahme f acceptance inspection, final inspection, acceptance of work, building inspection (Langenscheidt Routledge. e-Fachwörterbuch Archtitektur und Bauwesen. 2004) (1) Fiktive Abnahme Fiktiv abgenommen gilt eine Bauleistung dann, wenn bei Einhaltung der Voraussetzungen trotz schriftlichen Antrags des Auftragnehmers an den Auftraggeber (Bauherr) auf Abnahme, der AG die Abnahme nicht innerhalb der vorgesehenen Frist durchführt. Diese Frist gilt ebenso, falls nach Zugang der Schlussrechnung an den Auftraggeber (Bauherrn) noch keine Abnahme erfolgt ist. Nimmt der Auftraggeber die Leistung ohne erfolgte Abnahme in Nutzung (z.B. durch Bezug eines Einfamilienhauses), so gilt nach einer Frist von sechs Tagen die Leistung als abgenommen (Abnahmefiktion). http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauabnahme#Fiktive_Abnahme (2) http://www.harmuth-cnc.de/agb.php 8.1.4 Abnahmefiktion: Erklärt der Kunde sechs Wochen nach Abschluß der Installation durch uns die Abnahme nicht und hat daher in der Zwischenzeit uns auch keine wesentlichen Mängel gemeldet, gilt die Leistung als abgenommen (3) Part B of the Award Rules also allows for fictitious acceptance, whereby the work is regarded as accepted 12 working days after written notification of the work's completion has been made. The acceptance is deemed to have taken place six working days after the principal has started to use the works. http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q="fictitious acceptance"&... (4) The possibilities of a fictitious acceptance provided for in Section 640 BGB or of implied acceptance and the right of the Contractor to obtain a ... http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q="fictitious acceptance"&... (5) German academics usually cite this provision as an example of how German commercial law protects the legitimate expec-tations of a merchant’s business partner29 and conclude from this classification that only bona fide business partners may benefit from a fictitious acceptance30. This restriction, however, does not appear in the wording of § 362 HGB. http://www1.law.umkc.edu/library/IACL2006/ProtectingLegitima... |

assumed acceptance Explanation: wie in: fiktiver Wert - assumed value. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-11-15 20:42:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Die fiktive Abnahme kommt nach § 12 Nr. 5 VOB/B in zwei Formen vor.
