General information:

• By registering you will create an user account for downloading data sets at the prices announced online.
• After providing us with all registration information, we will activate your account. This is a manual step, because we will have to prove your invoicing address and VAT ID's. You will get a notice by email.

Invoicing & billing:

• Invoices are send by email: All invocing is performed electronically. If you need a printed copy, print the PDF of the invoice and give it to your accounting department.
• Account with credit card: Your card will be charged before you perform the download. An invoice will be send electronically directly afterwards.
• Account with invoicing: The invoicing is performed on a quarterly base. We will send you an invoice over the total amount of your downloads within a quarter at the end of the quarter via e-mail.
• Prepaid account: It is also possible to setup a prepaid account. Contact us directly on the sum you want to charge to your account. After your invoice is paid, you can download data until the prepaid amount is reached.

Users from outside the European Union:

• Due to German tax regulations we need a taxpayer certificate for your company. It has to be updated yearly and you usually get this certificate from your local tax authority. You can upload the certificate using your account. Without the certificate we have to charge German VAT.
