<p dir="auto">There's conflicting info on the website and in the preview contract. Conflicts highlighted by me in bold.</p>
<p dir="auto">Pricing table on <a href="https://hise.dev/#license" rel="nofollow ugc">https://hise.dev/#license</a> says it's HISE-based:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Indie: less than 50.000 € annual revenue <strong>made with HISE-based products</strong><br />
Pro: more than 50.000 € annual revenue <strong>made with HISE-based products</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The <a href="https://hise.dev/hise_license_preview.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc">preview contract</a> first says it's company-wide revenue, regardless of HISE:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Section C.2</p>
<p dir="auto">"The licensing fee shall be payable monthly and be measured in terms of the total annual revenue generated by the Customer, <strong>regardless of whether this revenue is related to the Software or not</strong>."</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Then Annex 2 goes back to HISE-based:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Annex 2 (pricing scheme)</p>
<p dir="auto">The total net revenue is the sum of all revenues that is being generated <strong>using products based on HISE</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">So the website and the pricing annex in the contract agree on <strong>HISE-based revenue</strong>, but Section C.2 of the contract seems to say it's the <strong>total revenue generated by the customer, whether from HISE products or not</strong>.</p>
