   13. What price discounts do I get on repeat orders of prototypes from the online calculation?

       Rating:

       Unless otherwise noted in the initial order, we grant the following maximum price discounts excluding setup costs:
       1-layer PCB: 10,- Euro
       2-layer PCB: 20,- Euro
       4-layer PCB: 25,- Euro
       6-layer PCB: 30,- Euro
       

       The minimum discount on a repeat order is 20% of the contract value. The actual discount lies between the minimum value and the fixed discounts stated above.

       If the initial order stated fixed setup costs, these will not reoccur. Possible designated preproduction costs are no once-only costs, they reoccur with each repeat order.
