They have e mailed jla but all they have been told is they have to pay,they are just a bit angry as to why such a large company can't get a machine fixed in a timely manner.
I think 3 months is poor ( same with my TV) and with it being a new machine parts should be there for broken machines.
Do they have an agreement re: what sort of timescale they can expect for repairs/support? (as in an SLA). What does it say?
Commercial stuff is different to your consumer issue, if suppliers were required to offer say repairs in a certain amount of time then they'd perhaps be charging more in the first place. They've paid for a product and maybe they've paid for a certain level of support too but at the moment it isn't clear.
