Billing
Invoice recipient
Domains are usually debited via ISPs or registrars, but it is also possible for the domain holder or other persons to become the invoice recipient of a domain. Please note that your internet service provider will also charge fees for his services. Those are not included in the nic.at domain fee! The domain holder can change the invoice recipient at any time.
Periods
The delegation-fee as well as the usage fee for the first year are to be payed during the registration process.
Fees are charged for each service period (=1 year). The following invoices are made out 45 days before the due date. Invoices that have already been issued remain valid and are demanded unless the domain is cancelled within the stipulated time period. The second payment reminder is automatically sent to the domain holder.

What is special about the nic.at billing system?
-
Domains are charged annually – but according to the service period of the relevant domain rather than along with the calendar year. The service period begins at the day of the domain delegation and lasts for one year.
The fees are to be paid in advance. The invoice for the registration of a domain will be dispatched after about five working days. The following annual fees are due to be paid within 45 days after billing. The invoice can be cancelled if the domain cancellation has been submitted in due time (28 days before the beginning of a new service period).
Does the invoice recipient hold any rights regarding the domain?
-
No, as the exclusive domain rights are held by the domain holder. The invoice recipient just gets the invoices. If he doesn’t pay, the holder will be informed.
