Discounts
Dealers are entitled to ten-year volume purchase discounts on Business Rules! and ODBC license fees. While all purchases (including version upgrades) are included in the dealer cumulative purchase basis, discounts only apply to primary license fees and user increases:
| Ten Year Dollar Volume | Discount Percentage |
| 4,900 | 30 |
| 16,800 | 40 |
| 35,700 | 49 |
| 120,400 | 57 |
| 252,400 | 64 |
Update fees are non-discountable. (Dealer discounts DO NOT apply to version upgrades. However they do apply to increases in the number of users).
Trade Ins
Trade In Policy and Examples
The Trade In Policy handles increases in the number of users, which may or may not occur along with other changes to the license such as the BR release or platform.
Business Rules! releases are numbered with decimal fractions. For the purpose of pricing only the first decimal position is significant. So, for example, there would be no charge associated with moving from release 4.20 to 4.29.
Business Rules Corp gives full value for BR trade-ins of releases that have not expired. New pricing releases of Business Rules! are produced on an average of once every two years. When a release becomes superseded by two releases, an 18 month notice of obsolescence is published to the community in an annual report to developers. After the 18 month period has expired no trade-in allowance is given for upgrades of that release.

Support
Support Policy
We review each dealer's ten year purchase history and adjust discount levels accordingly. Your annual maintenance invoice will indicate your ten year purchase volume, according to our records, through September of each year. And it will indicate your corresponding discount level.
Dealers are charged for an entire year irrespective of when they elect to subscribe. If you wait until November to subscribe you will still be charged for an entire year. So it pays to subscribe early and receive the benefits for the entire year.
Renewal forms for support contracts will be mailed out in November, and you will have up to 60 days to fill them in and submit them.
Hourly Support
Hourly support is available for $125 per hour.
