Introduction
Your use of Third Party Warranty requires that you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not understand the Terms, or do not accept any part of them, then you cannot use Third Party Warranty. Some products and features may not be available in all countries. Please contact us for more information.
Coverage, Fees and Dates
When you place an order for Third Party Warranty services, if we choose to accept the coverage requested, you will receive a coverage card within 15 days of placing the order. Fees are invoiced in advance unless otherwise noted and are payable before coverage is deemed active. If we do not accept the coverage requested, your order will be canceled, and payment will be returned to you. The equipment covered by Third Party Warranty orders begins and ends on the dates as specified on the confirmed coverage card, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Terms or if the other party has failed to comply with the Terms. Additionally, we reserve the right to cancel any orders for any reason, including but not limited to mistakes in our eligibility engine, pricing errors, duplicate orders or abuse.
Taxes
Quoted prices do not include applicable taxes, which shall be your responsibility. Taxes include: import duties, customs, federal, state, municipal, or any other government excise sales, use, occupational, or similar taxes. Compliance with tax laws for equipment and services shall be your responsibility. If Customer is tax exempt, you must provide a valid Tax Exemption Certificate.
Compliance
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You must not be named on any government list of persons or entities with which you are prohibited from transacting, nor owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any such persons or entities. You will not access or use Services in any manner that would cause any Party to violate any laws or international embargo, export control law, or prohibition. You have not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any person in connection with this Agreement. If you learn of any violation of the above restrictions, you will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify us. You represent that you have all requisite ownership, license or other rights required for us to perform all Services without infringing rights of third parties.
Standards of Our Services
To be eligible for Service by us, your equipment must be identified on a Coverage Card (“Covered Equipment”). All Covered Equipment must be in good working condition and meet the manufacturers’ minimum equipment configuration requirements and specifications. Any costs associated with correcting deficiencies to the aforementioned requirement(s) are your responsibility.
We will maintain the Covered Equipment in good operating condition. Services include labor and replacement of all parts deemed necessary for proper operation of Covered Equipment. Defective parts containing proprietary data will remain Customer’s property; all other defective parts will become our property unless otherwise agreed.
You will promptly notify us of Covered Equipment failure and will allow our staff reasonable access to Covered Equipment and a reasonable time to perform the Services. You will maintain accurate and current logs and records concerning the operation of Covered Equipment.
Services provided outside the scope of services set forth on a Coverage Card will be billed at our per call rates and terms then in effect.
You shall provide us with full and free access to the Equipment, and a safe place in which to perform maintenance service. You shall also maintain a current backup of the Operating System and other applicable software programs and data. Should any person other than service representatives provided by us repair, modify, or perform any maintenance service on any Equipment as listed on the confirmed coverage card, and as a result, we are required to restore the Equipment to good operating condition, you will be billed separately per the call rates and terms in effect at that time.
All Services are dependent upon hardware availability on commercially reasonable terms.
Our Services will be provided by supervised and qualified staff and will be provided in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
