Additional Plan Terminology

No Lemon Policy: During the term of this Agreement, and subject to Our Limit of Liability, after three (3) service repairs have been completed on the same component of an individual Covered Product and that Covered Product component requires a fourth repair, as determined by Us, We will replace it with a product of comparable performance. If We replace the Covered Product, all Our obligations for the Covered Product under this Agreement terminate. 


ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE IN HANDLING (“ADH”) Included in Complete Home and Home Office: Your Covered Product is protected against accidental damage in handling such as drops and excessive scratching to frames after such an incident occurs. ADH only covers operational or mechanical failure caused by an accident from handling and does not include protection against theft, mysterious disappearance, misplacement, reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct associated with handling and use of the Covered Product, cosmetic damage and/or other damage that does not affect the unit functionality, damage caused during shipment between You and Our service providers and any other limitations listed in the “What is Not Covered” section of this Agreement. Any resultant damage from this type of treatment is NOT covered by ADH. For the purpose of this Agreement, Accidental Damage is defined as a single, unexpected, sudden and unintentional event and does not include accumulated damage from continual or multiple events. The use of this coverage requires an explanation of where and when the accident occurred as well as a detailed description of the actual event. For cracked screens on Televisions, Laptops and Tablets, coverage is limited to one repair or replacement per Covered Product, per coverage term.
