The participation fee shall be paid in advance. If the price has been specified in SEK and STC has to pay certain costs in local currency, the price shall at the time of payment be adjusted if the exchange rate has changed by more than 5% between the date of the invitation and the date of invoicing.

The term of payment is 30 days from the invoice date. In the event of late payment, penalty interest is payable at the current Swedish reference rate (referensrnta) plus eight (8) percentage points.
