- No credit charges: The aggregate monthly instalment payments (and any lump sum termination payments) relating to the equipment and installation costs do not exceed the outright cash price of the equipment and installation and ongoing services. There are no interest charges, fees or other direct or indirect charges in the nature of a charge for credit or for the deferred payment structure. The 2.5% annual increase to the monthly instalment payment is not a charge for credit as the aggregate of these monthly payments does not exceed the cash price of the relevant goods and services, even taking into account this increase.
- The customer will be required to provide a deposit.
- Equipment ownership: Standard structure is that ownership of the equipment passes to the customer on payment of the final monthly instalment or when the lump sum described above is paid.
