Tell him u haven't signed, what he want to order and what permit he want to apply?? You haven't signed anything so you are not in the wrong, you don't hv to compensate him anything. Don't let him pressure you into committing with him. If you aren't comfortable with him, change another one. Not worth the headache and trouble later on.
