The card's two numbers are a term ladder, not a net/gross pair: EUR 16.68 is the 1-month rate and EUR 14.50 is the 12-month rate, which the configurator's own 'Save 13%' and '+EUR 4.36' deltas reproduce exactly. All three prices are incl. 19% VAT, which the page states in the card, in the set-up fee line and in the footer disclaimer. The site's country selector offers 'United States 0%', 'China 0%' and 'Other 0%', so a buyer outside the EU may see a lower figure, but the 0% rendering was not read: a ?country=US query parameter did not change the page, so the setting is applied client-side and would need a browser session. Not established: any card hold, debit-card acceptance, and whether the contract auto-renews at the then-current rate or at a stated one; no renewal sentence appears on either page. The VPS 500 sibling record states its EUR 8.26 as 'excl.
