Term and Coverage: If You have purchased an OnSite Repair, Express Repair or
Replacement Plan contract on your product, the term of this Service Contract
commences upon expiration of the shortest portion of the manufacturer’s
original warranty period. For all other types of Service Plans (Platinum OnSite
Repair Plan), the term of this Service Contract is from the date of purchase of
the eligible covered product(s) to the end of the term
purchased by the contract holder and is inclusive of the manufacturer’s
warranty; it does not replace the manufacturer’s warranty, but provides certain
additional benefits during the term of the manufacturer’s warranty. After the manufacturer’s warranty expires,
this Service Contract continues to provide the manufacturer’s benefits, as well
as certain additional benefits listed within this Service Contract.

initial service request, upon the customer’s request, this Service Contract
will be extended for an additional one month term. Call 1-888-771-3705 to
request the extension. While We try to complete
service as quickly as possible, We are not responsible for delays caused by
factors beyond Our control, including, but not limited to, manufacturer’s
delays, unavailability of replacement parts, or Acts of God. No Lemon Guarantee: Following the
expiration of the manufacturer’s warranty term and after three service repairs
have been completed on an individual product within a twelve month period, and
that individual product requires a fourth repair, as determined by Us, We will
replace it with a product of comparable performance, not to exceed the original
retail purchase price. Technical advances may result in a replacement product
with a lower retail price than the original product. The original product and
purchase receipts must be returned to Us, along with three separate service
repair receipts from separate service repair incidents, all authorized by Us,
in order to qualify. One service authorization number is the equivalent of one
repair. Keep Your service receipts. Copies of service receipts
cannot be provided by Us. Preventive maintenance
checks, cleanings, product diagnosis, customer education, accessory repairs or
replacements, and computer software related problems are not considered repairs
for the purposes of this No Lemon Guarantee. Once the product is replaced or
