Master Protection Agreements
Congratulations on making a smart purchase, Your new
Kenmore <'_ product is designed and manufactured for
years of dependable operation. But like all products, it
may require preventive maintenance or repair from time
to time. That's when having a Master Protection Agreement
can save you money and aggravation.
The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend the
life of your new product. Here's what the Agreement*
includes:
• Parts and labor needed to help keep products oper-
ating properly under normal use, not just defects.
Our coverage goes well beyond the product war-
ranty. No deductible, no functional failure excluded
from coverage--real protection.
• Expert service by a force of more than 10,000
authorized Sears service technicians, which means
someone you can trust will be working on your prod-
uct.
• Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as
often as you want us, whenever you want us.
• No-lemon guarantee--replacement of your covered
product if four or more product failures occur within
twelve months.
• Product replacement if your covered product can't
be fixed.
• Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your
request--no extra charge.
° Fast help by phone--we call it Rapid Resolution.
Phone support from a Sears representative on all
products. Think of us as a talking owner's manual.
• Power surge protection against electrical damage
due to power fluctuations.
• $250 food loss protection annually for any food
spoilage that is the result of mechanical failure of any
covered refrigerator or freezer.
• Rental reimbursement if repair of your covered
product takes longer than promised.
• 10% discount off the regular price of any non-cov-
ered repair service and related installed parts.
Once you purchase the Agreement, a simple phone call
is all that it takes for you to schedule service. You can
call anytime day or night or schedule a service appoint-
ment online.
The Master Protection Agreement is a risk free pur-
chase. If you cancel for any reason during the product
warranty period, we will provide a full refund. Or a pro-
rated refund anytime after the product warranty period
expires. Purchase your Master Protection Agreement
today!
