Legal Liability for Vending Machines
There are thousands of vending companies like Antares Corporation, serving hundreds of thousands of locations annually with dozens of variations in style, products and types of services. These companies offer a variety of vending operations.
It is important to note that liability insurance be in place at all times when it comes to the vending equipment, food products, and non food products. If someone eats or drinks tainted products from a vending machine, it is necessary to have liability protection regardless of whose fault it is. For example, if you sell a popular snack or beverage from your Antares vending machine and someone claims that they developed food poisoning, you need to know what you can do to protect yourself. The manufacturer of the popular snack or beverage probably has insurance, so they will be covered. However the individual may start a suit against the vendor and the location before moving along to the manufacturer of the equipment and products.
As a responsible Antares vending business owner, you will need to cover yourself with insurance. Anything can go wrong at any time. But as long as you are maintaining the operations of vending machine well, you will not have any problems.
If you are preparing your own food and serving it in your vending machines, you create even more reason to have liability insurance because there would be no manufacturer to share the blame with. People especially kids sometimes get their fingers caught in the strangest cavities of vending machines, because they are playing around or not following the instructions well. As a result of this they can decide to sue. Antares vending machines are well designed and you will not have to worry about exposed cavities. They are also user friendly so instructions are easy to follow. In fact there have been incidents where individuals vandalize or rob vending machines and end up getting injured, after which they actually believe that they have the right to sue!
As an Antares vending business owner, learn how to protect yourself, your account, your product and equipment manufacturers and your customers. This is just one wise decision you will make as a business owner.
