Make the purchase fit your budget
Japan reference options for different budget structures
Predictable AI usage costs

Flexible ways to start
Leasing and installment payments (Japan)
A partner leasing company can provide monthly payments in Japan, reducing upfront cost. Depending on applicable Japanese accounting treatment, leasing may be recorded as rental expense. Payments depend on the appliance price and lease rate; rates vary with screening and a formal quote provides details. Confirm overseas options individually.
Explore Japan leasing options >* Monthly equivalents divide the excluding-tax appliance price evenly over the 36-month Japan hardware warranty period. They are not a lease quote; actual lease payments depend on the rate.
The typical process
Japan reference process from quotation to payment
Obtain a quote
For overseas pricing, quantities or financing, request a formal quote. The Japan automated quotation service can issue a PDF immediately; its quotes are valid for two weeks.
Order application
For Japan orders, submit the order application once the quote is agreed. Procurement-system transactions and new vendor registration can also be accommodated. Overseas customers should confirm the process with sales.
Contract execution
Complete the sale agreement and terms of use. For Japan leasing, the leasing-company agreement runs in parallel. Contact sales for required documents and overseas contract arrangements.
Delivery and acceptance
Japan: delivery in 1–2 business days after dispatch. In the Japan reference process, the invoice follows acceptance. For installation, review the Checklist; specialist engineering is not generally required. Overseas delivery and invoicing arrangements need confirmation.
Payment
In the Japan reference process, pay by the date shown on the invoice via bank transfer (or monthly billing from the leasing company). Confirm the applicable overseas payment method and currency.
Compare Japan payment options
Product and Japan warranty coverage are the same across these payment options. Overseas terms require confirmation.
