LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD: 2 YEAR/24,000 MILE WARRANTY:

In the first 36 months or 36,000 miles after service work is performed, Customer must assert any warranty claim to the Affiliate under the terms and conditions of the Original Warranty. The Limited Extended Warranty shall then be in effect for an additional 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, after the expiration of the Original Warranty of the Affiliate.

Outside of the 25-mile radius, Customer can take the vehicle to another repair shop; however, Administrator must be contacted before any service work is
performed under the terms of this Limited Extended Warranty and Administrator must give prior written consent to the work being performed. Said written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Administrator warrants that the above repairs and services performed at their location will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for an additional 24 months or 24,000 miles of use, whichever comes first, beyond the term of an Affiliate’s Original Warranty, measured from the date first repair and the odometer reading shown on the original repair invoice. This warranty is conditioned on the vehicle being subjected only to normal, non-commercial use, and receiving reasonable and necessary maintenance during the warranty period. Warranty repair Costs shall in no case exceed the costs of the original repair or service. If there is a defect in either materials or workmanship within

A purchaser of covered products or services has the right to have warranty service performed during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended for the number of whole days that the vehicle has been out of the buyer’s hands for warranty repairs. If a defect within that warranty period, the warranty will not expire until the defect has been fixed. The warranty period will also be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect and the buyer notifies the Administrator of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed, If after a reasonable number of attempts, the defect has not been fixed, the buyer may return his/her for a replacement of parts, if applicable, or a refund, in either case, subject to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. This time extension does not affect the protections or remedies the buyer has under any law.
