A machine stands on someone else's floor. A clear agreement protects both sides.
The agreement between an operator and a site owner is usually a lease (najem), a usufructuary lease (dzierżawa), or an unnamed contract governed by the Polish Civil Code. It should cover the placement spot, fee or commission, power costs, service access, liability for damage, insurance, and termination terms. Have a lawyer review the wording.
Terms to Consider
- Location and number of units.
- Fee or commission.
- Power and how it is billed.
- Service access.
- Liability and insurance.
- Termination and removal.
