While no one expects a product to require repairs from defects or damage, a Warranty offers extra assurance that you're covered for costs in case it does. Portable products come with varying length warranties from the manufacturers. This Repair Master Plan coverage commences when the manufacturer warranty ends, and extends parts and labor coverage up to 3 years from the date of purchase. If the manufacturer's labor warranty is for 3 months, for instance, this plan extends coverage the remaining 2 years and 9 months. If the manufacturer's labor warranty is 1 year, this plan gives you an addition 2 years of warranty coverage. It adds extra assurance that you will not be charged for ANY warranty related repairs to your product within the total length of this plan.
