A
contract is formed with the signing of an order-sheet by the customer and PRIMEBASE
or - in as far as an order for that specific type of business is without such a
form - with an order through the customer and an acceptance of the order
through PRIMEBASE. Upon lack of an offer of the customer this license agreement
is formed through customers` taking possession (i.e. Downloading, Installing,

will apply in the amount of the actual sales tax rate. An offset through the customer
is only possible when his obligation was declared through a German court as
valid and due.

The
fees will be determined according to the number of concurrent connections between
a server and the clients.
The
price can be determined on the basis of measures of the real use of the program.
