possibly guarantee / surety?


Explanation:
Sicherstellung is also a guarantee. In terms of your text it could mean that a pre-payment will be made 30 days after the contract gains legal and the guarantee (e.g. to perform?) as well as the invoice are received.

This is how I see it.

Explanation:
It could mean that a down-payment is to be made once the contract has come into force, a collateral security has been furnished and the invoice has been received.

Aus einer weiteren Anfrage von Jonathan Fedler ("genehm") wird der Kontext klar. Aus dem dort zitieren Satz geht eindeutig hervor, dass es sich um eine Bankgarantie handelt. Ich ziehe daher meinen Vorschlag zurück.
