LEASING / RENT-TO-OWN
How Rent-to-Own Works
Our program has two phases: the lease period and the ownership period. Both phases include active service from our team.
Phase 1 — Lease Period (Months 1–12 or Months 1-24)
- Setup & Initialization Fee (paid at contract signing): covers deployment, fleet configuration, system integration, and staff training. This fee is fixed per deployment and disclosed before you sign.
- Monthly Lease Payment: a fixed monthly fee per robot covering hardware use, fleet management software, 24/7 remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, and your selected support tier.
- Ownership Credit: 100% of your monthly lease payments apply toward the purchase price of each robot. There is no balloon payment or residual buyout at month 12 once your 12 payments are made, the robots are yours. Same applies if you elect a 24-month period.
Phase 2 — Ownership Period (Month 13 or 25+)
- At the end of your lease period, title to each robot transfers to you automatically. No additional paperwork or buyout fee required.
- We continue to service your fleet under a post-ownership service plan. You choose the coverage level.
- Post-ownership plans are month-to-month. You are not locked in.

What Happens at the End of the Lease Term
- Title to each robot transfers to your organization. We provide documentation for your asset register.
- Your lease agreement closes. No balloon payment, no residual fee, no buyout required.
- Your post-ownership service plan activates (if selected), or you transition to a month-to-month arrangement.
- Your fleet management software license continues uninterrupted, access does not expire at ownership transfer.

Pricing
We do not publish per-unit pricing because the right configuration depends on your facility size, task volume, integration requirements, and support tier. All pricing is confirmed after the free demo.
As a general data point: for mid-scale deployments (5–15 robots), customers who have completed the 12-month term report that their total cost of the lease period (setup fee plus 12 payments) was broadly comparable to 12–18 months of the equivalent manual labor costs they displaced. After ownership transfer, post-ownership service plans typically run 15–25% of the original monthly lease payment. These are customer-reported figures and vary by operation type and local wage rates.

Early Exit
We require a 12-month commitment because responsible deployment requires setup, integration, and training investment that cannot be amortized over a shorter period.
Early-exit provisions are available for documented operational closures (facility shutdown, force majeure). Voluntary early termination before month 12 does not trigger ownership transfer, the remaining lease balance is due. Ask your sales contact for the full contract terms before signing.

What Is Not Included
In the interest of transparency, the following fall outside a standard lease agreement:
- Physical facility modifications: elevator call-button retrofits, door sensor upgrades, or floor surface repairs
that affect robot navigation (identified during the demo) - Customer-side IT infrastructure: networking, Wi-Fi coverage, and server capacity needed to run fleet
management software - Custom software development beyond standard API connectors (available as an add-on)
We identify all of these requirements during the demo so there are no surprises at contract signing.
