CONGRATULATIONS PRODUCT ELIGIBILITY COVERAGES Repair Plans: All Expert Protection Repair Plans are “Date of Purchase” Plans. The Expert Protection Service Plan term begins on the date of product purchase or date of installation by the selling retailer (proof of installation date will be required if different from product purchase date) and continues for the period of time defined on your sales receipt. This Plan is inclusive of the manufacturer’s warranty; it does not replace the manufacturer’s warranty but may provide certain benefits during the term of the manufacturer’s warranty. Actual service coverage under this Plan begins upon expiration of the shortest portion of the manufacturer’s original or factory-refurbished parts and/or labor warranty. During the manufacturer’s warranty period, any parts, labor, on-site service or shipping costs covered by that warranty are the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. After each portion or all of the manufacturer’s warranty expires, this Plan will furnish replacement parts and/or labor necessary to restore your covered product to standard manufacturer’s operating condition. If service is required because of a product failure during normal usage, the Administrator has the option to repair the defective product or replace it with a product of equal or similar features and functionality, though not necessarily the same brand. A replacement part or product may be new or refurbished. Replacement Plans: The Expert Protection Replacement Plans are “Date of Purchase” Plans. The Expert Protection Replacement Plan term begins on the date of product purchase and continues for the period of time defined on your sales receipt or until a replacement claim is paid, whichever occurs first. Actual replacement coverage under this Plan begins upon expiration of the shortest portion of the manufacturer’s original or factory-refurbished parts and/or labor warranty. In the event your covered product suffers a mechanical or electrical failure, after expiration of the manufacturer warranty, this Plan will replace your original product with a product of equal or similar features and functionality, though not necessarily the same brand. A replacement product may be new or refurbished. The Replacement Plan is limited to one replacement for products purchased for less than $500 and does not cover trip, labor or shipping charges. The Replacement Plan is not transferable. The Replacement Plan will replace modular components on products where applicable instead of the entire unit when such products consist of self-contained modules, units and/or components, including but not limited to video game controllers, MP3 player earphones, television remotes, etc. Note: The Replacement Plan does not include any Special Features or Benefits or Optional Coverage’s. SPECIAL FEATURES Lemon Protection – If we have completed two service repairs for the same problem on an individual product or component, which first began after the manufacturer’s warranty term had expired, and if the product or component requires a third repair for the identical problem as determined by us, we reserve the right to replace the product with one of like kind and quality, not to exceed the original retail purchase price excluding shipping, handling, and taxes. Once a covered product is replaced, then this contract is considered fulfilled and coverage ends. Worldwide Service - Worldwide Service protects your covered product outside the manufacturer’s warranty when you travel overseas. If your product needs repair overseas, you have three options to obtain a proper repair authorization number prior to work being performed. You can go to www.wcpsonline.com for live warranty support; e-mail us at internationalsupport@warrantech.com to leave a message for warranty support; or you may call collect, 817-571- 7931. You will need to carry the covered product into an authorized service center, have the service center provide an estimate for the repair and provide the estimate to the Administrator, using one of the options above, so total repair can be approved. You will submit payment to the service center and then submit to the Administrator a copy of the detailed service repair invoice that identifies the covered product, the repair authorization number, and include a thorough description of the repair made. This documentation should be sent to WCPS, Attn: Claims Dept., P.O. Box 1189, Bedford, TX 76095. The Administrator will reimburse you within 30 days of receipt of all necessary paperwork, provided a covered repair was performed. Note: Worldwide service does not include shipping or on-site service. OPTIONAL COVERAGES Lamp Replacement Plan – if purchased, this Plan will furnish a replacement lamp for an LCD, LCoS, D-ILA or DLP lamp that has failed and would normally be covered by the original manufacturer’s written warranty. The coverage under this Plan is limited to one lamp replacement. This Plan will not be responsible for any other parts that should fail or for trip, labor or shipping charges. Eligible products for the lamp replacement coverage are the LCD, LCoS, D-ILA or DLP rear projection television sets or projectors. In order for coverage to apply, one of the following events must occur: (1) the lamp must be completely burned out with no visible picture on the screen, or (2) the preset manufacturer message appears indicating that the lamp must be replaced, or (3) the number of hours which the manufacturer has indicated for useful life of the lamp has been reached. This Plan must be purchased at the same time and on the same sales receipt as the covered LCD, LCoS, D-ILA or DLP rear projection television, projector or lamp. Proof of purchase may be required at the time of service. If you call for service and the problem found is not a result of the failure of the LCD, LCoS, D-ILA or DLP Lamp, you alone shall be responsible to pay any fees due to the Servicer. SERVICE LOCATION Carry-In Service: If your Plan provides carry-in service and your covered product needs repair, call 1-800-543-8890 to arrange service. While most products can be repaired locally, some products, due to their sensitive, technical nature, require the controlled environment of a factory authorized service center; therefore, a local repair facility may not be available. You are responsible for transporting your product to the designated service center. The product may be carried into or shipped (postage pre-paid and insured) to the designated service center. The product will be returned to you at no additional cost, if an authorized service is performed. IF YOUR PRODUCT NEEDS REPAIR
