The article is hard to understand, but I think the deal is that if you
signed up last year your cost will be 245.00 again this year, but if
not it's 425.00 this year and 245 going forward, so you don't escape
last years fee. It will be interesting to see how things work out in
the future, I think he will want to collect the fee all the way back
to 2010.

I know there will be a lot of Weber bashing but I see the position he
is in and it is costing him a ton of money to support all those
types. He could have handled it very differently for example he could
have bought just the rights to make a single LS type and not taken on
the whole legacy line. That would have left the legacy owners with no
support which is an option they have now, correct? Now if you have an
older DG or LS you have two options, supported or not supported. What
bugs me is the heavy handed 'pay me or you are grounded' attitude.

"Full-Service-Agreement". All consecutive years will cost 245,00 for
each glider."
