The second method is one where Bishopstrade charges, at their then current daily rate, to cover the initial installation, commissioning and training; the amount of which is controlled by the client.

From the end of the month in which Bishopsgate delivered the Boffin/Open application software to the site, a monthly rental charge is levied, per concurrent-user/device, in advance for use of the runtime Oracle RDBMS and necessary Oracle runtime products and the agreed Boffin/Open runtime application software.

Where the user increases the number of licensed concurrent-users/devices, the monthly, in advance rental charges will be increased pro-rata from the end of the month in which the increased number of concurrent-users/devices was implemented.

The Bishopstrade License fee does now include a component for the Oracle runtime licenses.

All requested changes and/or additions to the Boffin/Open software are chargeable at the then-current daily programming rate for each day or part thereof and are subject to written quotation and written acceptance of the quotation.

No chargeable work can be performed for any customers who have outstanding account balances with Bishopstrade Limited.

There are a minimum number of 5 license seats that can be supplied under this method, in line with Oracle's licensing policy.

The current rate for this method of license payment for the complete application is US$ 317.00 per concurrent-user/device per month; being one twenty-fourth of the License Fee; which does not stop after 24 months, but continues indefinitely. This translates in a monthly rental of USD 1.585 for a minimum of 5 users.

Optionally, the user is able to enter into a separate,

Annual Software Support and Maintenance Agreement (ASSM), which runs for twelve months at a time, from the Boffin/Open software Delivery Date to the site and ending at the end of the then-current year.

If an Annual Software Support and Maintenance Agreement is to be put in place, this must be at the outset of the Supply Agreement and cannot be setup later; unless all past payments starting from the end of the month of Boffin/Open software delivery are paid as a single payment.

The annual fee is charged annually in advance, at a rate of 22% of the Initial Runtime License fee.

The 22% full price for the ASSM is made up of two components;

Any Updates component costing 17% of the Initial License Fee and a Helpdesk facility costing 5% of the Initial Runtime License Fee, both charges are per annum in advance.

It is quite acceptable for a user to contract for one or two or the whole of the ASSM on offer. Where this annual software support and maintenance agreement is in place, Bishopstrade will make available a completely new replacement runtime program directory, four times per year, which can be downloaded from the Bishopstrade Development Centre website; after the user has been supplied with a logon and password to the Users confidential area of the website. .

Bishopstrade will invoice its customers in (USD) United States dollars and requires payment in the same currency within 30 days of invoice date. Customers are responsible for any banking charges associated with the payment of Bishopstrade charges.

Customers are encouraged to make payments by bank transfer or through Internet banking facilities by quoting the Bishopstrade invoice number as the payment reference.

Customers who are behind in their payments will need to bring their payment plan up-to-date before requesting any additional services.

Customers on rental terms who fall more than two months overdue (three months from invoice date) will cause the rental system to cease operation without damaging the user's data, automatically, in which case the rental system can be re-started by full payment of the overdue amount; in which case the re-start of the system will have to wait until Bishopstrade have 'cleared funds'. Bishopstrade are willing to negotiate with new customers regarding the currency of payment where it can be seen to that paying in United States dollars would be difficult. .

The current rate for a man-day is US$1.250.00 plus any Value Added Tax and/or similar taxes and/or duties that are correctly chargeable, which will be separately shown on the Bishopstrade invoice.

Any direct expenses in travel and/or subsistence that are necessary will be charged at cost to the user.

Where a customer commissions Bishopstrade to produce some New or Amended application software, Bishopstrade will assess the work and include the expected number of man-days to be charged in the written quotation.

A man-day comprises 7 hours, which equates to a day starting at 09:00 and ending at 17:00 with a one-hour lunch break. Customers should be aware that Bishopstrade staff, along with very many software engineers, often work very long hours. Where a Bishopstrade operative works longer than seven hours per day, billing for that day will vary, pro-rata on the seven-hour day.
