Once you find a location to place your vending machine and come to an agreement with the business/property owner on how much you'll pay him/her each month (whether that be a fixed monthly rate or a percentage of revenue), you should formalize the agreement by signing a Vending Machine Contract.
Among other things, the Vending Machine Contract should contain the following key components:
- the term of the agreement (6 months, 1 year, 2 years or other)
- your right to place a vending machine on the property
- the fact that you own the vending machine and products (not the business/property owner)
- your responsibilities to keep the vending machine in good working order and stocked with products
- the business/property owner's responsibilities to help prevent theft or vandalism and to notify you of any problems
- how much you'll pay the business/property owner (and when)
- the fact that you're an independent contractor (not an employee)
- how and when the contract can be terminated
- standard legal clauses protecting both parties
