Coverage under this Plan begins as of the date of Product purchase and supplements
the manufacturer’s warranty by providing certain additional benefits. The Plan will
reimburse you for any shipping or trip charges not covered by the manufacturer under
the manufacturer’s warranty. After the manufacturer’s warranty expires, the Plan
continues to provide its own benefits, some of which may match certain benefits
of the manufacturer. The Plan provides for the repair of your covered Product to
its standard operating condition or reimbursement for the amount of the Product
as set forth herein. Such Product shall have failed to perform its intended functions
due to: dust, heat, humidity, normal wear and tear; any defect in either materials
or workmanship; or any other reason specified in the Plan. There is no deductible
under the Plan. The Plan covers Products sold and located in the U.S.A. only. We
will have the option of providing either on-site service or depot service for your
Product. With depot service, you send the Product to a designated service location
for repair.
- On-Site Service: If we opt to provide on-site service for your Product, you
must provide a safe, non-threatening environment for our technicians in order to
receive on-site service. Due to environmental and technical requirements, if certain
repairs cannot be completed where the Product is located and must be repaired at
another location, the Plan will cover all shipping and handling costs. On-site service
will be provided during regular business hours, local time, Monday through Friday,
except holidays.
- Depot Service: If we opt to provide depot service for your Product, we will
pay the shipping and handling charges to and from the designated service location.
- Battery Coverage: This Plan will cover the one-time replacement of an imbedded
or rechargeable battery found in the following Products: digital cameras, camcorders,
MP3 players and phones. The battery will qualify for replacement only if it fails
to accept or hold a charge and failure occurs during the first year of the Plan.
You may be required to ship the defective battery for inspection or we may ship
the replacement battery to you for installation. If you are required to ship us
the defective battery, the Plan will cover all shipping costs. Disposable batteries

of the battery.

should fail, we will issue a Target GiftCard, not to exceed the original retail
purchase price of the remote control excluding taxes. Once a Target GiftCard is
issued for the remote control, then for that remote control your Plan is fulfilled
and Plan coverage ends. All other Products under the Plan will remain covered.
- No Lemon Guarantee: This section applies after we have completed two service
repairs for the same problem on an individual Product, which problem first began
after the expiration date of the manufacturer’s warranty. If that Product requires
a third repair, as determined by us, we reserve the right to issue a Target GiftCard,
not to exceed the original retail purchase price excluding taxes. Once a Target
GiftCard is issued for the Product, your Plan is fulfilled and Plan coverage ends.
We may ask you to return the original Product to us. Preventative maintenance checks,
cleanings, Product diagnosis, customer education, accessory repairs or replacements
are not considered repairs for the purposes of the No Lemon Guarantee.
