Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A SquareTrade Care Plan protects your electronics and appliances from mechanical and electrical failures during normal use. It provides: Two to four years of coverage, starting at the date of item purchase – please refer to the warranty title for the coverage length. 100% parts and labor – with no deductibles. Item repaired or item price paid out if SquareTrade can't fix it. SquareTrade – The Best Warranty Around: Easy Claims Filing with a Five-day Service Guarantee: SquareTrade’s claim process is painless. Start a claim online or over the phone. Express shipping is free to and from SquareTrade’s depot, and you’ll be sent a special shipping box for fragile electronics. You’ll receive email updates at every step in the process so you’ll never be left in the dark: Five-Day Service Guarantee: SquareTrade will reimburse the full item price or fix your item and ship it back within five business days of receiving it at the depot, or your care plan is free. For large items with in-home service, a local technician will contact you to schedule service within five business days of claim approval (Since in-home service is dependent on the customer’s schedule, repair times are not guaranteed within five days). Hassle-Free Coverage SquareTrade has designed the warranty with your needs in mind. They make it easy for you to: Manage it online. You can view, print, cancel, transfer, and even file a claim online and keep tabs on its progress. Cut the paperwork. You can fax or email SquareTrade your item receipt at any time, and they will store it as proof of purchase. Cancel anytime. In the first 30 days, you may cancel for a full refund. After that, you are reimbursed the unused part of your care plan – e.g., if you cancel your 3-year care plan, after 18 months with no claims, you’ll get 50% of your money back. Transfer at no cost. When your device changes ownership, so can your care plan. Transfers can be done online or via phone. No refurbished replacements. The last thing you want when your item breaks down is a cheap refurbished item that is two generations old. If your item breaks and can’t be fixed, you will be reimbursed your full item replacement cost. As Seen On: Other Things You Should Know: Upon purchase, you will get an email. This is your official confirmation of a purchase. The email will also have a link to the "My Warranties" section on the SquareTrade website where you can view and manage your care plans. You will not get a paper contract unless you request one. Please read the terms and conditions in the .pdf file at the top of the page. There is an easy to understand 2 page summary with all the highlights you need to know. Coverage lasts two to four years from item purchase date. The coverage length is described in the care plan title. Your plan begins on the date you purchased your item and is inclusive of the manufacturer warranty period. If your item arrives late, call SquareTrade and your plan can be extended to the shipping date. If you have an issue and are covered by the manufacturer at that time, you’ll be directed to the manufacturer first. It only covers new, in box items. If the item is used or refurbished, please call SquareTrade first at 1.877.WARRANTY. Your item must have been bought on Amazon. If you bought your item elsewhere, please call SquareTrade at 1.877.WARRANTY. It’s only available in the U.S. SquareTrade is currently only available to residents of the 50 US states. 1.877.WARRANTY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piece of mind and no hassles when you have a claim!, May 26, 2009

I've used Square Trade for some time now.
Unfortunately I've had to submit a couple of claims over the years and each time the process was easy, fast and satisfying.
The last thing you want with an extended warranty is to have to jump through hoops.
Square Trade makes it simple, call or email the claim, ship the merchandise back and a couple of days later a decision on the claim is made.
Less than one week after that decision, a refund is issued.
What a great product when you need it and the prices are reasonable for the piece of mind you get.

1.0 out of 5 stars My warranty was a bad joke, April 18, 2010

I bought a warranty for my new laptop computer. However, when my laptop's - supposedly it's mother board - went out Square Trade would not fix my laptop. They said it would cost them more money than my retail price of $700 for my laptop. So now I am stuck with a dead laptop and I had paid for a four year warranty which is no good. I bought my laptop and warranty through Ecost and even Ecost wasn't able to help me. SquareTrade has a hidden policy about the amount of money they are willing to spend on a laptop and if they think it will be over the price they have the right to refuse the warranty! Now I have to buy a new laptop and I will not use Ecost or SquareTrade ever again. Be smart and do not rely on SquareTrade for your warranty. This just happened to me in April 2010.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a no hassle warranty!, May 22, 2009

My daughter had her laptop for a little less than a year. We bought it used on eBay and it turned out to be a lot older than we anticipated. We purchased the Square Trade Warranty just to be on the safe side. It started smoking one day so she started the process of activating the warranty. From start to finish it was only a matter of a couple weeks before we had a full refund sitting in our paypal account. I highly recommend this warranty,especially for used items where you are stuck with no manufactorer's warranty.
