ECCOTEMP EXTENDED PROTECTION PLAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS

*These terms apply to the Continental US only and the Extended Warranties offered in the United States. Eccotemp reserves the right to change, modify or cancel these terms without notice.

You must maintain the product as recommended by our manufacturer's owner’s manual or product warranty. Refer to your sales invoice or receipt to determine the term of this plan. An extended warranty does not go into effect until the manufacturer warranty ends. It is an extension of that original warranty and the terms may differ from the original manufacturer warranty.

Accessories and/or add-on options purchased separately and not essential to the basic function of the product are not eligible for coverage. Eligible products must be enrolled within sixty (60) days of purchase here.

WHAT IS COVERED: We agree to repair or replace your product in the event your product is rendered inoperable due to a mechanical or electrical failure during the term of this plan, if the product is not covered under any insurance, warranty, guarantee and/or plan. Parts used to repair or replace your product may be new, used, refurbished, or non-original manufacturer parts that perform to the factory specifications of your product.
