   <h2>Annual term and subscription licenses</h2>
   <p><b>Until Saxon 10, licenses were perpetual</b> (they did not expire). These licenses typically
     allow access to support for one year from the purchase date, and allow access to upgrades
     published within one year of the purchase date.</p>
   <p><b>For Saxon 11 and beyond, only annual term and subscription licenses are available.</b> You can make a
     one-time purchase of a license that expires after a year (a "term" license), or you can
     purchase a subscription where you make an annual payment, with a new license key delivered automatically
     once a year.</p>
   <p>Subscription licenses are only available for online purchase with a credit card. If you want to buy
     using a corporate purchase order, ask us about buying a license for an extended term, say three or five years.</p>
   <p>For more information see <a class="bodylink" href="../license/licenses.xml">Saxon

   <p>We apply the same rules whether you purchase online, or via a purchase order.</p>
   
   <p>This system relies on information about your location. In the case of online orders, this
     information comes from your IP address and your billing address. If these do not agree, we may
     be obliged to make further enquiries. This is true whether or not you are in the European
     Union, since non-EU customers must be identified as such.</p>
   
   <p>EU customers who are registered for VAT should enter the VAT number when ordering.</p>

  <h2>Purchase orders</h2>
  <p>Saxonica also accepts purchase orders from corporate clients. For information about site
   licenses, redistribution licenses, or any other special requirements, please contact <email
     address="saxon-orders@saxonica.com" title="saxon-orders@saxonica.com"></email> directly.</p>
  <p>We can provide a quotation in US Dollars or Euros as well as UK sterling, and for clients in
   good standing we will invoice on 30-day payment terms. We do however impose an administrative
   charge for orders under &#163;500 made through this route.</p>
