Questions

What is a core deposit?

The exchange price and the core deposit are separate. The deposit depends on the condition of the core you return.

What paperwork comes with an exchange?

Sale documents are issued electronically. The release certificate is the one shown on the unit.

How do extra lease hours bill?

The monthly lease price includes that variant's included hours. Hours above that allowance are billed at the hourly rate.

When does a pre-payment plan reserve a serial?

A pre-payment plan does not reserve a serial at the start. There is a 72-hour no-obligation cooling-off period, and cancellation follows the plan terms.
