 |
When do my
payments start? |
 |
Depending on the
specifics of your contract, your first
payment is due either at the time of
delivery and installation or
approximately 30 days after delivery. You
will receive an invoice each month for
the term of your lease. |
 |
What about Warranties? |
 |
All vendor's
warranties are passed on to you, the
customer. |
 |
How are service and repairs on
the lease equipment handled? |
 |
Your authorized
equipment reseller will handle repairs
and service in the same manner as if you
had purchased the equipment. In-warranty
service and repair costs are covered by
the manufacturer. You are responsible for
out-of-warranty work. |
 |
How long does it take? |
 |
Leasing is very
quick. Requests up to $50,000 can be
approved in a couple of hours from
receipt of the credit application.
Documents are overnighted,
hand-delivered, or e-mailed to the
customer. The purchase order is
immediately faxed to the vendor once
documents have been received. |
 |
Does
the equipment have to be new? |
 |
No, Summit leases
both new and used equipment. |
 |
What
is the minimum lease amount? |
 |
Approximately
$2,000. |
 |
Am I responsible for insurance? |
 |
Yes. Insurance is
required for all leased equipment. You
handle all insurance requirements just as
if you had purchased the equipment
outright. We require that you send
proof-of-insurance documentation to us
for our files. |
 |
What is the interest rate? |
 |
A lease is not the same as a
loan, so your payments do not include an
interest rate. Instead, a "rental
rate factor" is multiplied by the
basic cost of the equipment to determine
your monthly lease payment. |
