Purchase and Warranty Options
School budgets are constantly being asked to stretch and we understand the need for different options to purchase equipment. Taking feedback from schools we offer options to suit all scenarios.
Options include:-
- Purchase devices and equipment outright, for schools that wish to pay in full and own the equipment from the point of purchase. Standard warranty on most devices/equipment when purchased this way is 3 years.
- Purchase devices and equipment on a 3 year deferred payment. This breaks down the cost and spreads it over 3 equal annual payments. The school still owns the equipment from the first payment and the standard warranty on most devices/equipment is 3 years.
- Purchase devices and equipment on a 5 year deferred payment. This breaks down the cost and spreads it over 5 equal annual payments. The school still owns the equipment from the first payment but this method includes a 5 year warranty as standard.
