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.

1.0 out of 5 stars misleading advertising -?, review carefully before & after purchasing, June 16, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: SquareTrade 4-Year Electronics Warranty ($1000-1250 Items) (Office Product)

I purchased this replacement/refund policy for my new Epson 8350 projector because of its iron-clad guarantee that: 1)one would NOT have to pay for shipping if necessary, 2) replacement parts would not be third party or refurbished, 3) the projector bulb is covered against failure, and 4)coverage starts on the day you receive the item.

Instead, when you actually receive the policy (in an email) and get to read it over carefully (which one really should do), I found a long list of exclusions, including non-coverage on "consumer replacement parts" ; the projector bulb is NOT covered against failure, replacement parts can be third party (non-manufacturer) or refurbished or rebuilt - not NEW, OEM as described on amazon, and, if the projector is to be replaced "SQUARE TRADE" can do so with a "like" model or a refurbished model - their choice. Also, the owner is responsible for shipping charges.

I do not understand the apparent 180 degree turnaround in wording/coverage from what is advertised on amazon versus what is in writing on the contract one receives in electronic format. Usually Amazon is right on the mark and money with what is sold on their website. It doesn't appear to be this way this time with this insurance policy. Beware, review this policy carefully, as what is in writing is what you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Square Trade Insurance - Excellent, July 23, 2010

I bought a GPS off of eBay almost 2 years ago. I paid $20 for 2 years insurance from Square Trade. After 20 months, my GPS screen failed and I registered a claim with Square Trade. Their process was simple, efficient and absolutely excellent. Within a few days my claim was processed, approved and the full amount of what I originally paid for the GPS, was paid out to me ... without any resistance.

This was by far the greatest insurance experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend purchasing Square Trade insurance on any electronic product you purchase ... I surely will in future.
