ValueMAX and the Benefits

ValueMAX is a repair/replacement service provided by Pitney Bowes or an affiliate for leased Pitney Bowes equipment. Although ValueMAX is not insurance, it covers the cost to repair/replace applicable equipment in the event of loss, theft or damage except for normal wear and tear, negligence, or misconduct. The only cost for the service is a flat, low monthly fee usually much less than an insurance deductible.

Benefits of ValueMAX

  • Fast Equipment Replacement: We aim to repair or replace equipment within 20 working days.
  • Peace of mind: Hassle-free process with no need to wait for an insurance adjustor in the event of a claim.
  • Broader Coverage with no deductible: Many insurance policies may have high deductibles to keep premium costs down, and in many cases may have exclusions* (i.e., flood or water damage, power surge, earthquake, accident). Equipment will be replaced at full value with no asset depreciation.
  • No out-of-pocket costs: Without adequate coverage, you may end up having to pay out of pocket for repairs or replacement if you are not participating in ValueMAX

Exceptions to ValueMAX coverage

  • *Claims will not be considered if the damage is a result of normal wear and tear, negligence, or misconduct. Normal wear and tear is covered by the Service Level Agreement (SLA), with exceptions noted in your SLA.
  • Government accounts are not eligible for ValueMAX.
