Payments will be collected no sooner than on the date specified on the pre-notification. Payments may also be collected shortly after that date. If the purchase price is reduced between the pre-notification and the due date (e.g. due to amounts being credited), the debited amount may differ from that stated in the pre-notification.

If you are in default, TeamBank AG is entitled to charge a reasonable fee for each demand notice or default interest in the amount of five percentage points above the prevailing base rate of the European Central Bank.
