The fine print, decoded

What it leaves out

  • Scratches, dents and looks
Good to know before you buy
  • No receipt or registration is needed, and coverage passes to a new owner.
  • Coverage applies in the US and Canada only.
  • Have the model and serial number ready when you file.
  • Keep your receipt to prove the purchase date.
  • Do not remove the serial number label; that voids the warranty.
