German term or phrase: Aufwandshonorar
Dear colleagues. The following is about an agreement on cost reduction measures for office communication (devices, printers, copiers etc.) (deutsch: Vereinbarung über Kostensenkungsmaßnahmen für Bürokommunikation).

Die Vergütung unserer Leistungen wird wie folgt vereinbart:
Das AUFWANDSHONORAR i.H.v. xxx EUR je System (Kopierer, Drucker, Fax) wird nach der Datenerfassung vor Ort fällig.

in engl. sth like that: The remuneration of our services shall be agreed upon as follows: The PAYMENT of xxx Euros for the EXPENSES INCURRED per system (copier, printer, fax) will be due after the in-situ acquisition of data. ???

English translation:setup fee
Explanation:
The rate schedule for our services is as follows:

The setup fee of xx euros (copier, printer, fax) becomes due following data acquisition on location.

Sounds like the streamlining of an office operation by installing new and/or the tweaking of existing equipment. 'Setup' is the operative word here (e.g., 'setting up my computer').

BTW, using 'remuneration' in instances like this betrays the non-native Englishspeaker right off the bat
