2. Registries established during the course of the year are charged as
   follows:

     Established during:
                           Fees:
  
         1st quarter
                           start-up fee + full yearly fee
         2nd quarter
                           start-up fee + 3/4 yearly fee
         3rd quarter
                           start-up fee + 1/2 yearly fee 
         4th quarter
                           start-up fee + 1/4 yearly fee 


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

4. Billing is in advance. The billing period is the calendar year.
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.

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

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

7. 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.

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

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