Warranty Info

A&M Equipment Sales 90-Day Limited Parts Warranty

Warranty Policy for “90 Day Limited Parts Warranty”: 

This indicates that the warranty provided does not extend to every possible situation. There are situations that are excluded; therefore the warranty is “limited” rather than “unlimited”.

Every effort is made to ensure that any purchased vending equipment, new, refurbished, or clean and working, has been thoroughly checked before leaving the facility. By performing thorough testing and quality control checks on the machines, A&M Equipment Sales has eliminated many possible warranty issues from the start.

A&M Equipment Sales provides large, in-house parts and service departments staffed with personnel who are experienced and can help facilitate most repairs. All “refurbished” and “clean & working” vending equipment are provided with a 90-day limited parts warranty. This includes parts such as changers, validators, sensors, control boards, refrigeration units, motors, digital display units, etc. 

All items that fail must be replaced during our 90-day limited parts warranty period. The 90-day limited parts warranty starts when the vending equipment is picked up from our facility (if local), when delivered to the customer (if by company truck) or three days after the vending equipment has been shipped from our facility. Whichever comes first. Parts for new vending equipment are covered under the manufacturer’s parts warranty. The warranty period for new vending equipment is dependent on the manufacturer. Please check with your sales representative for more information.

NEW VENDING EQUIPMENT PARTS REPLACEMENT

For any parts that need to be replaced for new vending equipment under the manufactures parts warranty. A&M Equipment Sales will place a hold for the total cost of part on a supplied credit card. A&M Equipment Sales will then ship the replacement part from the manufacturer directly to the customer. The customer is then responsible within 30 days for shipping back the faulty part back to the manufacturer for inspection. The customer will provide A&M Equipment Sales with the tracking number for said return. If failure to do so then the customer will not be reimbursed for the cost of the replacement part. A&M or the manufacturer will not overnight replacement parts under any circumstances.

*’ Salting of machines’ occurs when salt water is poured or injected into the coin chutes or validators of vending machines for purpose of the cheating machines. Many times the act of ‘salting’ ruins the coin mech or validators and renders it unusable. Salting of machines, coin mechs, or validators is considered an act of vandalism. Any machine that has had the serial number plate, defaced or removed will not be covered under warranty.

DAMAGE FROM SHIPPING

Shipping damage is rare but when it does occur it is usually minor. In the unlikely event that the machine has suffered damage. The customer must refuse the shipment and have the Bill of Lading marked “refused due to major damage”. Freight is booked as a courtesy and A&M Equipment Sales never assumes any responsibility for the actions of the freight company, either due to damage, missing items, freight storage charges, or other items out of the control of A&M Equipment Sales.

All freight charges are considered final and will never be refunded by A&M Equipment Sales. Should a major claim occur please contact A&M Equipment Sales immediately so A&M Equipment Sales can process the claim in a timely manner and resolve any other questions that may arise? 

History

The earliest known reference to a vending machine is in the work of Hero of Alexandria, an engineer, and mathematician in first-century Roman Egypt. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed holy water. When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point a counterweight snapped the lever up and turned off the valve.

Modern vending machines

The first modern coin-operated vending machines were introduced in London, England in the early 1880s, dispensing postcards. The machine was invented by Percival Everitt in 1883 and soon became a widespread feature at railway stations and post offices, dispensing envelopes, postcards, and notepaper.
