An extended warranty, sometimes called an extended service plan ESP, extended service contract, service agreement, a service contract, or a maintenance agreement, is a prolonged warranty offered to consumers in addition to the standard warranty on new items. The extended warranty may be offered by the warranty administrator or the promodiser. Extended warranties cost extra and for a percentage of the item's retail price. Occasionally, some extended warranties that are purchased for multiple years state in writing that during the first year, the consumer must still deal with the manufacturer in the occurrence of malfunction. Extended warranty provide you with product coverage above and beyond terms and life of a manufacturer's warranty. Thus, what is often promoted as a three-year extended guarantee, for example, is actually only a one-year guarantee.  If your product fails, we are standing by ready to help you.
