The New Hampshire Veterans Home selected the UNIMAC brand to maintain consistency with existing equipment throughout the facility, as staff was already trained on these systems, which are cost-efficient to operate and maintain. The equipment includes a three-year warranty covering 100% of parts, shipping, and labor. Payment was designated for ACH (Automated Clearing House) processing net 30 days after invoice receipt and delivery acceptance.
