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.
