Just think about it for a second….

It goes for the rest of the articles and reporting in the OCR, this does not surprise me at all. The OCR, the ‘Gadgetress’ reports of this New Warranty Service without a real evaulation of what they offering. It takes a READER to do a little ‘Leg-work’, (basic simple research that Reporters are supposed to do), to show what RIP-OFF this site is.

Thank you John Doe, you should have the Reporters job.

Gadgetress…ah need I say more, disapointment does not even begin to cover your reporting abilities.

And what is even worse is that the Register is advertising
for these unethical pirates!

More OC Register advertising for weak business people.

Interesting things to note in the fine print of this companies docs -

What is NOT covered:

“COVERED ITEMS NOT ORIGINALLY COVERED BY A MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY OR ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY;”

IE they won’t pay for it unless it already had a warranty on it from it’s manufacturer.
Makes one wonder what the actual point is then right?

“PARTS OR REPAIRS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR UNLESS TIED TO A BREAKDOWN;”

Oh, if something wears out they don’t replace it.

I LOVE this one -

• DAMAGE FROM ACCIDENT, ABUSE, MISUSE, MISHANDLING, INTRODUCTION OF FOREIGN OBJECTS INTO THE COVERED ITEM, UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS OR ALTERATIONS TO A COVERED ITEM, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS, AND EXTERNAL CAUSES INCLUDING THIRD PARTY ACTIONS, FIRE, THEFT, INSECTS, ANIMALS, EXPOSURE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS, WINDSTORM, SAND, DIRT, HAIL, EARTHQUAKE, FLOOD, WATER, ACTS OF GOD OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OF ANY NATURE;

Place close attention to the last half of that sentence starting at the words “And external causes including third party actions, fire, theft, etc

So basically any possible thing that could break something, be it an earthquake or flooding, things that normal house insurrance actually covers. They don’t.

I’m starting to wonder what possible things this company does insure.. oh but it gets better.

“NONFUNCTIONAL OR AESTHETIC PARTS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PLASTIC PARTS, KNOBS, ROLLERS, BASKETS;”

Oh, so the most likely to break parts.. such as knobs and rollers are specifically not covered as well.

So basically, whatever it is, has to already have a warranty, they don’t cover wear and tear, anything alone the lines of things that could damage equipment outside wear and tear and specifically do not cover controlling surfaces such as knobs or otherwise.

Wow.

For $10 a month you say you pretty much will take whatever I have, and just middle man ship it to the orig warranty company, as your contract states required for anything you cover and even then with extreme restrictions.

What a joke.
