Terms of Service

This Term of Service and Use (the “Agreement”) is between “Impact” and the “client” as outlined in the Agreement. Impact and client may sometimes be referred to as a “party”. Freight for delivery of supplies and parts is charged to the client on all Agreements. No service will be performed until payment is received. This Agreement is non-cancellable for the term specified, except as provided herein. This Agreement is meant to list the scope of services provided under the Agreement and the terms of service and use of those services related to the new multifunctional and single function product (“equipment”).

Section 1 - Scope of Services

The charges established by this Agreement include payment for maintenance by Impact Networking, LLC, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates (hereafter referred to as “Impact”) during normal business hours: adjustments, parts replacement, drums and cleaning material required for the proper operation as determined by Impact. This Agreement covers both the labor, travel and the material for adjustments, repairs and replacements of parts as required under normal use of the equipment except as hereinafter provided. This Agreement is limited to only provide maintenance to Equipment that is required to keep or get the Equipment operational and is not an Agreement for general or as requested services; Impact is given all discretion to determine if or when the Equipment shall be serviced or repaired. This Agreement does not include but is not limited to the following items: toner/ink, maintenance kits, fusers, print heads, jet direct card, formatter boards, paper or staples. Damage to the equipment or its parts arising out of misuse, abuse, negligence, incorrect power and/or outlet, or causes beyond Impact’s control are not covered. In addition, Impact may terminate this Agreement in the event the equipment is modified, damaged, altered or serviced by personnel other than those employed by Impact. Parts and components that have reached 80% of their maximum supported lifetime and/ or the maximum usage limit as set forth in the manufacturer’s operating manual, will not be provided, repaired, or replaced as part of this Agreement.
