After that, the subscription ends automatically. The subscription is purchased on 01.05.2024 and ends on 30.04. of the following year. - The **accounting period** is 3 months. Settlement takes place on 01.05., 01.08., 01.11. etc. - The **cancellation period** is 2 months before the end of the 6 months**(subscription interval**).

Our system automatically sends a reminder by e-mail when a delivery date needs to be added to a delivery list. ### Example 1 - The **Quantity of Issues per Billing Period** is set to 12. - **Thereof Chargeable Issues** are set to 9. As a result, the last 3 issues in this period are free of charge. - The **cancellation period** is 7 days before the end of the accounting period. The accounting period is the 12 issues. The contract can be canceled in due time up to 7 days before delivery of the last (12th) issue. - Check the box next to **Repeat Period until Cancellation**: - set: The contract term of 12 issues (3 of which are free) is repeated until the customer cancels the contract. The delivery list must be renewed regularly. - not set: The contract period ends automatically with the last issue delivered. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/b84e1b5d-2ba6-4465-8c62-fb45a2f31314/Images/Documentation/image-Z4M7D7BE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T09%3A50%3A26Z&se=2026-11-07T10%3A50%3A26Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=19RwsX7v4MjNgWVmMq6ef5SoJZUWIIg1jilL9itLKRw%3D) ### Example 2 - The **Quantity of Issues per Billing Period** is set to 12. - The **Quantity of Issues per Billing Period** is set to 12. - The **cancellation period** is 2 days before publication of each issue. The issue is published e.g. every Wednesday. It can always be canceled by Monday (2 days before Wednesday) at the latest. - Check the box next to **Repeat Period until Cancellation**: - set: The contract term of 12 issues is repeated until the customer cancels the contract. The delivery list must be renewed regularly. - not set: The contract period ends automatically with the last issue delivered. --- ## Examples of credit-based product contracts ### Credit-based without time intervals A credit-based product contract without time intervals is suitable for subscriptions where the credit is automatically topped up after use or by externally triggered top-up (e. g. through API). In this example, a credit balance of 10 credits was defined in the product contract. As soon as these are used up, the credit is topped up again. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/b84e1b5d-2ba6-4465-8c62-fb45a2f31314/Images/Documentation/image-BMQQBHOE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T09%3A50%3A26Z&se=2026-11-07T10%3A50%3A26Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=19RwsX7v4MjNgWVmMq6ef5SoJZUWIIg1jilL9itLKRw%3D) ### Credit-based with time intervals With credit-based product contract with time intervals, it can be defined that credits are automatically topped up after a defined period of time. - **Runtime**: until canceled - **Accounting period**: 3 weeks - **Cancellation period**: 7 days before the end of the subscription interval - **Subscription interval**: 6 weeks Credits are topped up everytime the **accounting period ends**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/b84e1b5d-2ba6-4465-8c62-fb45a2f31314/Images/Documentation/image-NLMI5UK4.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T09%3A50%3A26Z&se=2026-11-07T10%3A50%3A26Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=19RwsX7v4MjNgWVmMq6ef5SoJZUWIIg1jilL9itLKRw%3D)
