2. Price, billing

Customers who are individual members or collective members of Česká společnost pro jakost (Czech Society for Quality) (hereinafter "ČSJ") have a discount on the price based on the currently valid discount programme. The discount is only displayed in the order for regular members, after proper registration in the client section (without registration the system will not recognize the discount).  We would like to point out that the discount is linked to the customer (orderer = payer, not the final participant), therefore we recommend using the benefits of collective membership for bulk company orders; if you want to apply a discount resulting from individual membership, the order must be made by the individual member as a self-payer. No retroactive discount can be claimed.
