Payout terms: 7/1 | 7/7 | 15/1 | 30/15 | 30/45 | 30/60 | etc. – what does this mean?
The first figure is always the production time (or billing cycle) and the second one are the days after which payment is due.
For example:
7/1 – 7 days production time, 1 day after this production time, payment is due
7/7 – 7 days production time, 7 days after this production time, payment is due
30/45 – 30 days production time, 45 days after this production time, payment is due.

 

Weekly Payments – How do I need to understand this?
Weekly payments are based on following cycles:
01 – 07 production time, payment on day 08
08 – 15 production time, payment on day 16
16 – 22 production time, payment on day 23
23 – EOM production time, payment on day 01 of following month.

This means on the 8th, 16th, 23rd and 1st of every month is payday.

 

Are weekly payments always 7 days long, for example Monday until Sunday?
Normally not. If so, we will point this out.

 

What does this payout splitting mean: 70%/30% | 80%/20% | etc.?
This means that we pay out your money in 2 stages:the first part is the first percentage (e.g. 70%) and the second part (e.g. 30%) is held back (“holdback”) for payment to you at a later time.The pay back of the second part depends on the tariff conditions, but is often 45 EOM or 60 EOM.

 

What are holdbacks?
Holdbacks are a part of your payment that is held back by the Telcos and will be paid out as mentioned above. If your traffic is correct and there are no complaints, the Telco pays out the holdbacks in time, which we then transfer to you immediately.
