When my friend opened her restaurant, she told me she was so grateful that her hubby was able to help her out with all the minute things that she was not familiar with.  Coming from a different country, some things are done differently in this country.  One very important matter that she needed to remember was how to get the credit card processing system going for the restaurant.  They contacted Bank Card Central, an internet company that processes Visa and Mastercard payments for business folks like my friend.  With this internet company overseeing their account, my friend has more time to work on hiring more staff to help her in the kitchen.   She does not need to worry about establishing what terminal and software for customers’ credit card payments.  Bank Card Central point of sale restaurant systems comes with the terminal and equipment with features like options for receipts, tips, managing fraud, just to name a few.  With everything all set up for her, there is not a thing to worry about except to bring in more customers!

iFLOOR, America’s largest online flooring retailer, today announced a $1,000,000 limited warranty designed to protect its customers from predatory manufacturer policies that exclude warranty coverage from online purchases.

The policy, which goes into effect immediately, offers up to one million dollars of coverage in the event that a customer’s warranty claim is denied specifically because they made their purchase online. It is complimentary for every iFLOOR customer, and protects the buyer under the same terms as the original product warranty.

iFLOOR, Inc. CEO, Steve Simonson, came up with the program to combat “scare tactics” used by manufacturers of hardwood floors and laminate flooring. “Their idea is to discourage you from buying at a discount!” wrote Simonson in his blog “It’s About Flooring”. “This is not right! You deserve to save money! So we’re going to take care of this problem once and for all.”

And it would appear that federal law is on his side. Section 108 of the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Act, states that, “In general, tie-in sales provisions are not allowed. Such a provision would require a purchaser of the warranted product to buy an item or service from a particular company to use with the warranted product in order to be eligible to receive a remedy under the warranty.”

Under iFLOOR’s new warranty, a key provision allows for iFLOOR to “seek justice” on behalf of the customer in the event of legal action. According to Simonson, “I’m putting iFLOOR’s money where my mouth is.”
