When forwarding by e-mail or the additional download charges apply (see table 2), the full document price is charged even if only the title (TI) and the document number (ND) are sent.

Additional Download Charges

For the output of database documents, the copyright rules of the database producers must be observed. Depending on the further use of the database documents (short-time caching or long-term storage), different parameters are set for the output of the documents. In the case of long-term storage and further use of the documents, in some databases the so-called download charge will be invoiced in addition to the document price. Table 2 shows the document prices and additional download charges for the relevant databases.
