Closing discount


Explanation:
Usually this applies to going out of businesses or termination of a certain product, so not too sure how suitable it is in this case

sorry, I just noticed my own typos: Usually this applies to "going out of business" or discontination of a product.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks, I got this too - that is is a form of Mengenrabatt. But if I used "volume discount" on a quotation, surely non-German speakers would not get the idea that it is bound ot signing an order... There is mention of a Wiederholungsrabatt too - frequency discount. It looks like Inge's "time discount" hits the nail on the head, since this includes both signing the order and paying before the service is carried out. Thank you for the reference and the information.
