    License fee

    The license fee is dependent on the amount of stores covered by the license. For the first 10 stores, the fee is higher than for the additional stores.

    [1;10] = EUR 2,000€ + VAT per store in the interval

    [11;50] = EUR 1,000 + VAT per store in the interval

    [51;200] = EUR 500 + VAT per store in the interval

    [201;∞[ = EUR 250  + VAT per store in the interval

    I.e., a license with 15 stores will pay an annual fee of: 10 x EUR 2,000 + 5 x EUR 1,000 = EUR 25,000.

    NB: Every store chain (identical brand) is required to have at least one license per country.
