Some warranties carry a dollar value on them. This means that your product’s purchase price, excluding tax, delivery and accessories is below the listed price on the warranty. It’s simply a classification based on the price of purchase of the product under warranty.

An extended warranty is generally an extension of your original manufacturer’s warranty. Most manufacturers warranty their products to be free from defects for up to one year from the date of purchase. This warranty virtually guarantees you that if your newly purchased product fails, the manufacturer will protect you from the high costs of replacement parts and labor necessary to repair your product.

Most Consumer Priority Service warranties lengthen your product’s coverage for up to an additional 60 months (5 years) to ensure you get years of performance satisfaction from your newly purchased product. Learn more

A manufacturer’s warranty usually offers limited coverage for a limited time, with parts and labor carrying separate lengths of coverage. For example, a common manufacturer warranty of a television might cover a consumer for one full year on parts defects but only 90 days on the high cost of labor involved to change those parts.

Consumer Priority Service warranties provide comprehensive, long term, even length coverage. This means that should your product fail within your warranty coverage time frame, both parts and labor costs are covered.

Claims

Generally, the amount of a deductible is almost always proportional to the amount of the premium charged. In order to have a lower deductible, even as low as $0, the warranty holder would generally have to agree to a higher premium. For those who want lower premiums, they must agree to a higher deductible. Every Consumer Priority Service warranty carries a $0.00 deductible along with low premiums. This means that with a Consumer Priority Service warranty there are no high upfront costs and we are committed to cover 100% parts and labor costs on any authorized claim.

Category: Claims

Depending on the type of coverage you own, an extended warranty begins at the conclusion of the shortest portion of the manufacturer’s warranty. If the manufacturer’s warranty was 90 day labor and 1 year parts, the extended warranty would begin on the 91st day and continue for the duration of the warranty period. All replacement, commercial and accidental plans begin on the date of purchase.

Category: Claims

We cover 100% parts and labor for covered repairs. When you purchase a Replacement Plan, your entire product is covered! In addition, some plans include accidental damage from handling (ADH) coverage for enhanced protection. Claims resulting from misuse, abuse or negligence are not covered.

What is Covered:

If you have added Accidental Coverage to your plan, as indicated on your Warranty Card as well as your Online Account, this Plan shall cover unintentional damages as a result of: impact, liquid damage or unintentional physical damage. Accidental Coverage is an option for new, store-purchased items and protects against drops and spills. Accidental Coverage is typically offered as an option for MP3 Players, Laptops, GPS Devices, Cameras, and other portable electronics.

What is Not Covered:

Accidental Coverage does not cover intentional damages of any kind to the Covered Product or losses due to theft. Accidental Coverage does not cover willful damage, misuse, damage due to neglect, drops over 6 feet, fire damage, full immersion in water or salt water exposure. Accidental Coverage does not cover damage caused by the use of a product in a way the manufacturer never intended. Accidental Coverage also does not cover damage incurred by natural disasters (ie: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires…etc), or damage that is incurred by an animal or pet (ie: dog chewing). Coverage for this plan shall begin 30 days after the date of purchase of the covered product.
