Two kinds of location. Every number up front.
They differ in two things: how busy the venue is, and what the licence costs. The deposit, the guarantees and the venue’s share are the same either way.

A worked month at a Classic location
An illustration of how the money flows at a single location. The revenue figure is an assumption for arithmetic, not a forecast — what your machine sells depends on the venue, the product and you.
- Machine gross sales (assumed)
- $2,000
- Venue share at 35%, after expenses
- − $700
- Pinpoint licence fee (Classic)
- − $100
- Left with the operator, before product cost
- $1200
“After expenses” means product cost and card fees are deducted before the venue’s share is calculated. The exact definition is in the key terms.
The key terms, as you'll see them at checkout
Shown in full and acknowledged before payment. Stored word-for-word with your acceptance.
What you pay today — $1,000, fully refundable
Held as a deposit, not a fee. You get all of it back in either case: we don't place your machine within 6 months — full refund, no conditions; or your machine has been placed and operating for 12 months — deposit returned.
What the location costs — 30–40% of revenue to the venue
Every venue we sign takes a share of machine revenue, calculated after expenses. You'll see the exact percentage on each location before you choose it. You keep 60–70%.
What you pay us — $100 per month
Your licence fee for the space. It starts only when your machine is installed and operating, and continues for as long as your machine is at that location. If we never place you, you never pay it.
Your choice of location — up to 2 presented
We present up to 2 qualified locations. Turn them down and we keep searching at no extra cost.
Rematch guarantee
If your machine is removed from its location within the first 12 months through no fault of yours, we find and place you in a replacement location free of charge.
12-month minimum term
You agree to keep the machine at the location for at least 12 months. Leaving earlier forfeits the deposit.
The space is licensed to you, not leased
Pinpoint holds the agreement with the venue and grants you a revocable licence to place and operate your machine there. No tenancy, leasehold or other property interest is created. The machine remains yours; the space does not become yours.
Your obligations at the location
Keep the machine stocked, clean, operational and serviced within the agreed response time, and carry liability insurance naming Pinpoint as an additional insured. Failure to pay the monthly licence fee, or to meet these standards, ends the licence and the machine is removed.
Advertising on the machine
Advertising space on placed machines is sold and managed by Pinpoint's advertising partner. Content is controlled by Pinpoint and the partner.

Money questions
Why is there a revenue share on top of the monthly fee?
Every venue in vending takes a cut — it's what makes them agree to host a machine at all. Our host agreements run 30–40% of revenue after expenses, and you see the exact figure on each location before choosing. The $100/month is separate: it's the licence fee for the space we hold under contract.
Is the deposit really refundable?
Yes, in two cases: we don't place you within 6 months (full refund, no conditions), or your machine has been placed and operating for 12 months (deposit returned). Leaving a location before 12 months forfeits it — that's the one way you lose it, and it's stated before you pay.
