Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Italian term or phrase: a deconto di
"...l'Appaltatore sarà tenuto a rieseguire i lavori a propria cura e spese. Qualora l'Appaltatore non provvedesse nei termini fissati dall'incaricato della Committente, a rieseguire i lavori contestatigli, la Committente potrà far eseguire gli stessi ad altra impresa. Le maggiori spese che la Committente dovesse sostenere in dipendenza di quanto suipotizzato saranno addebitate all'Appaltatore ***a deconto*** delle sue fatture, fatto salvo il diritto al risarcimento dei danni."
...
Does this just mean they will deduct the cost from the amounts in the Contractor's invoices? I have come across 'deconto' meaning something like an advance or prepayment, which is confusing me a bit.
...
TIA :)

by deduction from
Explanation:
As no one produced an answer here I thought I would in the interest of there being a future reference in the glossary. Like Ivana I did a detailed and web search and looked in three paper dictionaries to no avail. (It's sad when Devoto-Oli doesn't help you out).
The two links below (such as they are) leave nothing left to guess that the term indeed means 'using a deduction method' or 'by deduction from'.
I imagine this is a neologism resulting from dedurre and conto....
