Toshiba POS Maintenance Contracts

ScanSource provides administration and re-marketing of Toshiba maintenance and service contracts. Two different offerings (“CareFlex” and “Custom Care”) allow resellers to accommodate every end user and keep their POS systems up and running for years.


Choosing CareFlex or Custom Care:

For most end users, the Toshiba CareFlex contract provides flexible service options that will accommodate retail environments large and small. Toshiba’s Custom Care contracts are ideal for large contracts with multiple locations. Your ScanSource sales rep can guide you through the selection process.


General Info:

Toshiba issues maintenance contracts based on machine type/model and serial numbers. You’ll be able to select terms of one to four years at a variety of services levels including 24x7 Same Day On-Site, 9x5 Next Day On-Site, Depot, and Advanced Exchange. Your PO should include accurate bill-to and ship-to information. Maintenance can be purchased during hardware configuration, during the initial warranty, or up to 30 days after the expiration of the most recent contract.

CareFlex replaces the SurePak, ServicePak, and Service Elite products, but can be used to extend coverage for machines previously on those contracts. Machines must be in good working order and have continuous coverage to be eligible for placement on a contract.

End-User Reporting and Warranty Reset:

Factory Sealed


What does "factory sealed" mean?

The term factory sealed means that if you are returning a unit, it must be returned as it was originally packaged and shipped, and the containers must still be closed with the original shipping seals. None of the seals that close the boxes can be broken/opened. Basically, the boxes never should have been opened, and are still in the same condition as they are in the screenshot below:
