What are the payment plans? Is a down payment required?

A security deposit in the amount of two months' payment is generally needed. This differs from a down payment in that the amount is typically much less. This deposit can be applied to the purchase price of the equipment at the end of the term or returned if there are not other payments due.

 

How are payments determined?

The monthly payment is based upon the term of the agreement and cost of the equipment and freight. The initial term of the agreement runs from 24 to 60 months.

 

Are sales tax and/or personal property tax included?

Sales tax and personal property tax can be included in the financing agreement.

 

What happens at the end of the term?

At the end of the term, the playground equipment is simply purchased for $1.00.

 

Is there an origination fee?

Yes, there is an origination fee: $150 for $4,500 to $14,999, $200 for $15,000 and up.

 

What are the factors used to determine credit worthiness?

Credit worthiness will be determined based on length of time in business (minimum of 2 years required unless a cross-corporate guarantee is in place), financial condition, references from financial institutions and D&B, and other credit bureau ratings.

 

Who installs or maintains the equipment?

The customer is responsible for having the playground installed. The customer is responsible for maintenance and receives all benefits of all 'buyer' warranties.

 

Are other plans available?

Deferred, seasonal, and skipped payment plans can be arranged in order to meet specific cash flow requirements. Call for details.
