An extended warranty, sometimes called a 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 is offered the manufacturer.
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. Thus, what is often promoted as a five-year extended guarantee, for example, is actually only a four-year guarantee.
A warranty means that a manufacturer or seller will replace or repair an item under specific conditions and circumstances. Generally, the conditions and covered issues are outlined in the warranty document.
