The above information should not be construed as a promise or implication of earnings for any U-Turn machine purchased. U-Turn makes no average income guarantee.

Disclosure:

The Seller in its promotional material provides selected case studies of U-Turn owners and their previous earnings. The owners state the amount of revenue they receive per U-Turn machine in a specific location. These numbers are not intended to guarantee or imply that any other individual purchaser-investor will obtain the same results.

The Seller has conducted a survey in order to verify the average revenues currently received by U-Turn bulk candy machine owners.

The survey was sent to one thousand five hundred and fifty (1550) U-Turn owners. Of those, seventy-five (75) were returned, having moved with no forwarding address. So, out of one thousand four hundred and seventy five (1475), eighty-eight (88) customers responded to this survey. As reported by these customers, the average monthly gross income generated per 4 selection U-Turn machine was fifty-seven dollars and forty-four cents ($57.44) and one hundred and sixty-nine dollars and eighty cents ($169.80) for the 8 selection Eliminator.
