Your payment obligation begins when we make payment for the equipment, also sometimes referred to as the commencement date. The pro-rated charge covers the interim period between the commencement date and the first due date of your regular billing cycle. The amount of the pro-rated charge is calculated as 1/30th of the regular scheduled payment amount, multiplied by the number of days in the interim period. Any advanced payments you might have paid will be applied to cover the regular scheduled payments and not the pro-rated charge. For more information, you may refer to the payments section of your agreement.

Although there is no contractual right to pre-pay, if you are not in default we can agree to an early termination upon your written request.

We also offer automatic insurance where the equipment will be covered automatically under Ascentium Capital’s insurance if you don’t provide your own insurance. Under Ascentium Capital’s policy, you will be billed for the expenses.
