Darren.... How about this one then. It takes clients time to onboard you for various technicalities. The same can be the other way. You can easily delay Option 2 by two weeks.
Tell option two you accept subject to a contract review. Ask them something about the contract when they mail it which they will take a day or so to clarrify. It could also be the agent isn't forthcoming with the contract which is even better.
Advise them the contract check will take a week, which is QDOS"s standard SLA. 5 days later it will come back, no doubt requiring changes which introduces more delays. In the meantime option 1 clears up and you can decline option 2 without ever signing it. Agent will be miffed but you've not breached. I wouldn't push for more than 2 weeks though. They'll get the idea you are stringing them along around then.
That's fairer than your idea no?
