agree  Brianna Forster: I prefer this because it avoids the awkward "telephonic".

  -> Thank you Brianna, too bad we're not yet at the telepathic stage!

  -> Thank you Birgit von Berlin
agree  William Swanson: According to Merriam-Webster, "telephonic" is indeed a word, but I, too, find it odd and can be said in a more "comfortable manner".

  -> Yes, it does exist, of course, but so does interlocution, but do we use it? thank you!
agree  Helen Shiner: confirmation, verbally or by phone./ You could make the same objection in the case of the GER and of your 'personally' or 'directly'. How about 'in person'? And less of the sarcasm, please, only trying to agree with you and amplify your suggestions!

  -> Hi Helen, yes I thought of verbally, but what do we do on the phone then? Hit them with it? Thank you and be well!// I'm really sorry, that was meant to be funny, not sarcastic - I am cursed with visions of linguistic caricatures all the time.
agree  KarnEvil: I agree. - To hit them? You could also imitate fax noise.

confirmation of order (in person or by telephone)


Explanation:
Without knowing what kind of contract this is, my suggestion for the translation would be along the lines of:
The contract will take effect when the order is confirmed by XXX (in person or by telephone) or delivery is made and/or performance is effected.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Oral order" means an order placed orally either in person or by telephone.
