It is part of the PaaS package.

Do you offer any guarantees for PaaS or equipment?

We have worked very hard to develop trusted relationships with our purchasers and sellers. We institute a robust pre-qualification process that validates supplier information. Our due diligence involves thorough research with continuous auditing to guarantee that you are receiving the best equipment and service available.
