Q) What type of questions do we ask during the application process?
A) In most circumstances, we simply need to obtain some basic personal and financial details. We will require the customer’s consent to conduct a credit check with a credit reporting agency.
Q) Can payments be tax deductible?
A) Provided the you are using the equipment predominantly for business/work related purposes (even at home), you can typically claim up to 100% of the rental payments as a tax deduction*. These days more people are bringing their work home, e.g. teachers, journalists, graphic designers, sales representatives and people who need to be contacted by email by their employer.
Alternatively, if you employer allows salary packaging you may wish to Salary Package your notebook and save up to 48%. To find out about our Flexipak program use the link below.
* We recommend customers consult their tax advisor or accountant if in doubt.
Q) Can customers own the equipment?
A) One of the options available to the customer at the end of term is to offer to purchase some or all of the rented equipment. You can offer any price you choose, however we have the right to accept or reject the offer. If you are trading up to new equipment and Flexirenting again we will accept a discount to the price we would normally accept.
Q) Can the Agreement be cancelled or terminated early?
A) Yes, but you will need to pay Flexirent the termination amount which is calculated by the formula set out in your agreement. The termination amount varies depending on whether the equipment is returned to us and the condition it is in. You should be aware that the termination amount in the early stages of the agreement can in fact exceed the original cost of the rented equipment.
Customers may at any time contact Flexirent to obtain a payout quote and the amount will depend on whether the customer wishes to return or make an offer to purchase the equipment and whether the customer wishes to trade up to a new Flexirent agreement (which would entitle the customer to a discount over the normal payout amount).
Q) Can I update my equipment during the rental agreement?
A) Yes, you can upgrade to the latest technology with a new Flexirent agreement but you will need to pay the total value of all remaining monthly rental payments (see Terms and Conditions for more detail). If you are upgrading to new equipment and would like to make us an offer to purchase your existing equipment, Flexirent will typically accept a price lower than if you were to offer to purchase without upgrading. You can offer any price, but we have the right to accept or reject your offer.
Q) Who is responsible if the equipment breaks down?
A) The customer is responsible for keeping the equipment in working order.
Flexirent recommends that all equipment be covered for the period of the rental term (not just the manufacturer's warranty which may only be 12 months), either by Flexirent's Extended Warranty (FlexiCare) or an extended warranty provider approved by Flexirent. The cost of the extended warranty can be bundled into the agreement and spread over the duration of the term.
Q) Who is responsible if the equipment is lost, stolen or damaged?
A) You will be responsible if your rented equipment is lost, stolen or damaged. You will have to continue your rental payments and return the equipment to us at the end of the rental term. For your protection we require that all rented equipment be insured.
