  • Local, licensed and insured technicians perform covered repairs, which are guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for one year.

  • You may cancel within 30 days of your start date for a full refund; cancellations after the first 30 days will result in a pro rata refund less any claims paid (where applicable).

If you find you have similar protection, you can cancel and receive a refund of your service agreement fee, less any claims paid (where applicable).
