To vend merchandise in a vending style, which is not provided yet, by recording selected contents on a medium and providing the recording medium, on which the contents are recorded, when a user selects the contents and pays the price of the contents to information terminal equipment.
The user retrieves/selects his own desired music software, for example, while operating information terminal equipment 2. When the contents are selected, its charge is displayed on a display so that the user pays that charge in cash or while using a cash card. A charging managing server 4 detects the cash/order and while referring to an intelligent property managing server 5, a master storage server 3 is ordered. After the order is confirmed, the master storage server 3 forwards the software to a contents sending server 6. The contents are sent through a network to the information terminal equipment 2, directly stamped on the medium such as an MD and provided to the user at that site.
