1 hr confidence:
retroactive commission Explanation: The clause states that the commission is to be calculated at the end of a set period based on the revenue generated during that period. The word "rétro" is here probably simply used in a temporal sense to stress that the value of the commission will be agreed on after the sales figure has been determined and not before. If this isn't wrong, "retroactive commission" might be a decent translation. |

rebate Explanation: = volume discount paid in arrears "A rebate is a payment back to a buyer of a portion of the full purchase price of a good or service. This payment is typically triggered by the cumulative amount of purchases made within a certain period of time." (Compare the last part with "sera calculée à la fin de la période concernée sur la base d’un chiffre d’affaires généré au cours de la période concernée".) https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/2017/5/13/rebate Second time lucky. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2021-02-09 10:46:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Nicholas, see also my reply to Daryo's comment. I think the context is very clear if you think about it and the directions of payments. |
