Schedule of Fees of frutra GbR
01.08.2026
This Schedule of Fees and the price plan accepted by the company form part of the Platform Use Agreement under the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of frutra GbR. All fees are net amounts in euros. Value added tax is charged in addition only to the extent frutra is legally required to charge it.
1. Commercial Model and Free Period
1.1 The fees in Clauses 2 to 7 apply from 1 October 2026 at 00:00 in the Europe/Berlin time zone.
1.2 For purchase contracts concluded via frutra before that time, the closing fee is €0.00. No monthly base fee is charged for service periods before that time. The closing fee is determined solely by the technically recorded time at which the purchase contract is concluded. Subsequent performance, amendment or document generation does not alter that time.
1.3 The obligation of existing registered companies to expressly accept the new GTC, this Schedule of Fees and the displayed price plan before carrying out further trading actions applies during the free period as well.
2. Price Plan
| Company type | Monthly base fee, net | Closing fee, net |
|---|---|---|
| Producer | €0.00 | 1.00% of the documented net purchase price |
| Trader | €199.00 | 0.50% of the documented net purchase price |
2.1 The company type is assigned according to the registered company’s actual business model using objective criteria. The company must provide accurate information and evidence on request. A reclassification that is disadvantageous to the company takes effect only after an authorised representative has expressly accepted the amended price plan.
2.2 The company type, price plan and acceptance are assigned to the registered company. Technical tariff flags or the mere existence of a user account do not replace valid acceptance of the price plan.
3. Monthly Base Fee
3.1 The billing period is the calendar month in the Europe/Berlin time zone.
3.2 If paid use starts on the first day of a calendar month, the full monthly amount is charged. If it starts later, the base fee is calculated pro rata from and including the start date through the end of the month: monthly amount × active calendar days ÷ calendar days in the relevant month. The result is commercially rounded to full cents once, at the end of the calculation.
3.3 Ordinary termination takes effect at the end of the calendar month in which it is received by frutra. There is no pro-rata refund or reduction for the termination month. Where a credit note is justified, the original invoice is not overwritten; the correction is made by a separate credit note containing an unambiguous reference.
4. Transitional Base Fee for Verified Existing Traders
4.1 Traders whose existing-customer status was expressly reviewed and confirmed by frutra before acceptance of the price plan and was documented with a specific evidence reference pay a transitional monthly base fee of €125.00 net from 1 October through 31 December 2026 inclusive. By accepting this price plan, they also agree that the monthly base fee automatically becomes €199.00 net from 1 January 2027.
4.2 A company ID, creation date, technical tariff fields, previous allowlists, fee classes or legacy tariffs do not, on their own, constitute evidence of existing-customer status. Without a positive review and evidence reference, the regular trader base fee under Clause 2 applies.
4.3 The closing fee for verified existing traders remains 0.50% throughout; the transitional rule concerns only the monthly base fee.
5. Accrual and Calculation of the Closing Fee
5.1 The selling company owes the closing fee for each purchase contract concluded via frutra. The fee accrues when the contract conclusion is technically recorded.
5.2 The assessment basis is the net purchase price documented on frutra at that time in the accepted offer or counteroffer. The closing fee is calculated as net purchase price × applicable percentage and is commercially rounded to full cents once.
5.3 Once accrued, the closing fee is unaffected if the parties subsequently do not perform, perform late, perform only in part or deviate from the purchase contract; amend quantities or prices; rescind, cancel or terminate the contract; or otherwise reverse it. This also applies if a party fails to pay or deliver. The parties to the purchase contract bear the economic risk of its performance.
5.4 A credit note is available only if (a) no valid purchase contract was demonstrably concluded via frutra, (b) a technical error recorded the same contract conclusion more than once, or (c) a manual review establishes that the original record was retroactively legally or technically invalid. The original invoice remains as an accounting record; the correction is issued as a separate credit note referring to it. Mandatory statutory correction rights remain unaffected.
6. Invoice and Due Date
6.1 Invoices are provided electronically in an accessible and storable format or sent to the email address designated by the member. Each invoice states the subject matter, service period or contract conclusion, net amount, value added tax where applicable, invoice date and specific due date.
6.2 The monthly base fee is due on the date stated in an invoice that has actually been issued and is accessible to the member. No invoice for a new paid month is issued while the invoice for the preceding month remains unresolved.
6.3 The closing fee is due 14 calendar days after receipt of the invoice. The specific due date is stated on the invoice. Statutory default and its legal consequences are governed independently by the applicable statutory provisions.
7. Unpaid Monthly Base Fee
7.1 Payment consequences require an invoice that has actually been issued, is accessible to the member and remains specifically outstanding. If it remains unpaid after seven full calendar days have elapsed from the stated due date, frutra may, following a manual review of the outstanding amount, suspend new offers, requests, negotiations, counteroffers and acceptances until the matter is resolved. Reading, document access, rejection, support, termination and performance of existing purchase contracts remain available.
7.2 If the member raises a substantiated objection to the invoice in good time, no automated trading suspension or contract termination is triggered by that invoice until the review is complete. Payment, a documented waiver or a documented credit note lifts the restriction.
7.3 Before termination at month-end, frutra sends a final payment reminder and manually reviews the outstanding amount again. Only then may paid trading functions under the Platform Use Agreement end at the end of the month. No new paid month starts while an earlier month remains unresolved.
7.4 Passage of time alone, an invoice that was not issued or is inaccessible, and internal billing, data or export errors do not trigger a trading suspension or termination. Existing purchase contracts and accrued claims remain unaffected.
8. No Other Fees
No registration, activation or other flat fees are charged beyond the fees stated in this Schedule. Individual additional services require a separate agreement in text form.
