No Price Gouging

Even though it may look fairly apparent when you’re not getting great value in the first proposal, variations to the agreement after the fact are the more common reason why little desktop printers can cost tens of thousands of dollars. With FairPrint, all agreements are audited to ensure that you’re never paying more than the manufacturers specified Recommended Retail Price for any piece of equipment. It may be much less, but this clause gives you protection from the typical case where it is much, much more.

Do you know how many thousands of dollars two cents per page equates to? Most people don’t. Agreement variations often propose a very small monthly saving, slightly reducing the cost per page in return for an increased volume commitment.

• Why the need for additional equipment to be listed in the Variation Schedule? (Click to see)
