=:E::::::E';' == ISG HARDWARE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
INTRODUCTION
The Hardware Terms and Conditions list includes standard machine types currently marketed by NAD and NMD. The list should be used in
conjunction with the Hardware Price List. Only terms and conditions presently marketed are included.
ORGANIZATION
The list is presented in machine type sequence. A single line entry contains all information for a machine type unless terms and conditions vary
between models. Footnotes are kept to a minimum and, when practical, a single footnote reference is used for each data field. As example, all
footnotes related to Lease Base Term can be found in a single footnote. Footnotes are identified by a lower case alphabetic character, such as (b).
Some codes are used in data fields to indicate specific details. As example, a hyphen is used to indicate that a data field does not apply. Other
fixed codes will be explained in the legend below.
