Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / power of attorney
Italian term or phrase: in ragione
Can't figure out what the first "ragione" means.

Tale potere potrà essere esercitato per atti che comportino impegni singoli (i) per quantità non superiore a 1.000.000 TM o (ii) di ammontare non superiore a Euro XXXXXXXXXe di durata non superiore a 5 (cinque) anni.
Nel caso di contratti pluriennali, comunque di durata non superiore a 5 (cinque) anni, la limitante quantitativa o economica si intende in *ragione*, o anche in *ragione*, d'anno;


Thanks

Explanation:
I would say it like this. You could also use the more literal translation "by reason of", i.e. because of.

neutral  philgoddard: You can't say "dependent or also dependent". The idea could be "wholly or partly dependent", but I'm not sure.

  • Ottenere la frazione di anno corrispondente al numero di giorni tra due date

Notes to answerer
Asker: Not sure the commas are a mistake, I would say, you can re-write the sentence like this "la limitante quantitativa o economica si intende in ragione d'anno o ANCHE in ragione d'anno" on a yearly basis or both yearly and contractual period basis. Does it make any sense?

agree  NFtranslations: "Query for Latin lovers" No! nightmare sentence
12 mins
  -> Grazie! I wondered whether the first ragione is a typo / audio-type mishear for frazione.... My experience is that Italian lawyers are highly competent and don't make mistakes like that.
agree  Shabelula: the first "in ragione" is referred to the contractual period - for example 18 months; the second "in ragione" is linked to a yearly/annualised rate. At least that's how I see this.
18 hrs
  -> Grazie and thanks! So 1. the first ragione is not, after all, a typo for frazione and 2. the second comma shouldn't be in there: ragione (,) d'anno
agree  tradu-grace: w/Shabelula explanation.
