#### Receiving money after task completion
Once you have finished the task, we will contact you via email to add
you as a party to the *memorandum of understanding* (MoU) we have signed
with NLnet. This will require you to provide your domestic address to
NLnet. NLnet will not send your domestic address to anyone else, not
even us (Topola project members).
with NLnet. This will require you to send your domicile address (i.e.
physical address) to NLnet via a specified email address. NLnet will not
send your domicile address to anyone else, not even to Topola project
members, so we will not see it.
You will also have to provide your legal name. You may optionally
provide a pseudonym, which will prevent Topola project members from
seeing your legal name as well in our communication with NLnet.
After all neccessary information is supplied, NLnet will amend the MoU.
This may take a few weeks. Afterwards, you will receive a link to submit
a *request for payment* (RfP). Once the RfP is submitted and validated
by the Topola project, you will receive the payment in up to three
weeks. You will be able to re-use this link to request further payments
from then on for completing other tasks funded from the same grant
without having to amend the MoU again.
