Technology Refresh Facility - Upgrading Your Equipment

At any time during the life of the rental agreement you will be able to take advantage of an upgrade allowance.  This means that, subject to acceptance, you will be able to add or upgrade a pre-determined amount of hardware and software, without an increase in the monthly or quarterly rental.  The percentage of product upgrade is illustrated in the table below:

The upgrade allowance is calculated by taking the monthly or quarterly rental payment from your agreement and multiplying it by a percentage determined by the table above. For example:

Example 1

Quarterly Payment

£5,000

After 6 quarters paid on a 4 year agreement your Upgrade Allowance would be:

Upgrade Allowance

28%

28% of £5,000

£1,400

New Equipment of a value equivalent to a quarterly rental payment of £1,400 could therefore be installed with no increase in the quarterly rental payment.

Example 2

Monthly Payment

£3,000

After 21 Months paid on a 3 year agreement you Upgrade Allowance would be:

Upgrade Allowance

52%

52% of £3,000

£1,560

New Equipment of a value equivalent to a monthly rental payment of £1,560 could therefore be installed with no increase in the monthly payment rental payment.

 

The upgraded agreement is contracted for a term equivalent to the existing agreement.  If additional equipment is required above the value of the Upgrade Allowance this can be added to the agreement.
