Cost breakdown
Prices in the My plan card are shown per month for each dataset per search in your Pascal environment. Searches are performed when cases are created, cases are being monitored or when the update button in a case is used to manually update the found results in a case.
Enabled datasets can be chosen to search on when creating and monitoring cases. These don't have to be identical as the enabled datasets in your plan. You have the option to turn on or off sources when creating each case, in the case specification after the case is created, or even changing the default used sources in your environment's settings. You are only paying for datasets which are searched in the cases.
In the above case, only the sources Sanctions, Enforcements and PEPs are turned on. Even though all sources and datasets are activated in the Pascal environment's plan, only the datasets within these three sources will be charged for this search. In this case, the datasets Insight: Sanctions, Insight: Enforcements, Insight: PEPs and PEP Desk are searched, as only these datasets fall within the sources turned on in this screening.
The Current usage card shows your next invoice date, costs made during this invoice period and how many searches are preformed. By clicking on Show breakdown next to Searches performed, you can see how many searches of each dataset are preformed, as well as the total cost of the individual dataset. At the bottom of the breakdown, the total cost is presented as well.
If the usage in a billing period is below €49, a minimum of €49 is charged.
Discount scheme
Pascal has the option to provide discounts based on the volume consumption of an environment. If and what discount scheme is active in your environment can be viewed in the Billing details page of the Billing Settings. Below an example of a discount scheme that can be active.
Discount schemes can have multiple tiers based on the cost of the monthly order. In addition, start and end dates can be set, which will indicate from when the discount scheme is active and until when it will be applicable. If the start and/or end date have the value Not set it indicates that there is no date at which this discount going active and/or expires.
