3. The start-up fee is due with the first invoice.

4. Billing is in advance.

5. The billing period is the calendar year.

6. Official invoices are sent by postal mail. A copy of the invoices will also be sent by e-mail.

7. Half-yearly and quarterly billing are possible and an EUR 50.- service charge applies to each invoice. Late payment of invoices for registries that have chosen half-yearly or quarterly billing means an automatic reversion to annual billing.

8. Payment is due 30 days after the date of issuance of the invoice.

9. Euro Transfers are the preferred method of payment and the fastest. Payment by cheque delays processing, particularly those issued in currencies other than the Euro.

10. Payment of invoices by credit card is possible only if the credit card charges are paid as well.

11. Late payments will be subject to late payment charges of EUR 100.- and cause an immediate termination of RIPE NCC services. Interest according to the prevailing bank rate in the Netherlands may be charged on any late payments.
