Annex III

The round trip cycle invoice shall be charged on the first journey made, leaving a spread of 0.10 € as amount corresponding to the return.

Economic valuation appearing per container in invoices accompanying each charge will result from distributing the total amount of slots used by consignment, between the containers that were transported in it, depending in each case on the number and container set that the client makes available for each service.

If by any circumstances the Client does not use the SLOTS contracted, either in

whole or in part, at all times Renfe Mercancías shall invoice these SLOTS.

The client may change their SLOTS communicating its new schedule 30 days before the beginning of the month requiring the new service plan.

departure date. o The number of cycles to cancel per month shall not exceed 10% of the

contracted cycles in said month.

Users may configure consignments in traffic lines not existing in the standard offer,

resulting from the chain of SLOT service journeys. The price of rail transport will be calculated by the sum of the individual routes, in one direction or the opposite.

Specific conditions applicable to SLOT Service are governed by this document and, if not expressly indicated or if not contradicting, shall apply the provisions of the General Conditions of Multiclient Intermodal Network and the General Conditions of Use and invoice of Containerclick, which the [CLIENT] knows and agrees upon.
