I.BASIS FOR COVERAGE

During the term of this Contract, We agree to pay the covered costs to repair or replace the items listed as covered on Your Cover Page if any such items become inoperable due to mechanical failure caused by normal wear and tear. Determination of coverage including the operational condition as of the Contract effective date for any claim will be made solely by Us considering, but not limited to, Our independent contractor's diagnosis, hereinafter referred to as the "Service Contractor." This Contract does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions. It is understood that WE ARE NOT A SERVICE CONTRACTOR and We are not Ourselves undertaking to repair or replace any such systems or components. This Contract covers single-family homes, new construction homes, condominiums, townhomes, and mobile homes under 5,000 square feet, unless an alternative dwelling type (i.e. above 5,000 square feet or multi-unit home) is applied and appropriate fees are paid.

Coverage applies to the systems and components mentioned as "covered" in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract so long as such systems and components:

A. Become inoperable due to normal wear and tear;
B. Are in place and in proper working order on the effective date of this Contract; and
C. Are located inside the confines of the main foundation of the home or attached or detached garage, with the exception of the air conditioner, exterior pool/spa, septic system, and well pump.

II.TERM

Coverage starts 30 days after acceptance of application by Us and receipt of applicable Contract fees and continues for 365 days from that date. We reserve the right to waive the 30-day waiting period so long as You provide proof of coverage from another home service provider showing no lapse in coverage. Waiving of the 30-day waiting period is at Our sole discretion. Contract fees shall be defined as any amounts You owe Us including the initial amount You are required to pay us for purchase of this Contract and any fees for service calls.

III.REQUESTING SERVICE - CALL (614-741-0000)

B. Upon request for service under normal circumstances, We will contact a Service Contractor within forty-eight (48) after You request service. The Service Contractor will contact You to schedule a mutually convenient appointment during normal business hours. We will determine what repairs constitute an emergency and will make reasonable efforts to expedite emergency service. We will accept Your request to expedite scheduling of non-emergency service only when a Service Contractor is available. If the Service Contractor agrees to expedite scheduling of a non-emergency service request, You may be required to pay an additional fee.
C. We have the sole and absolute right to select the Service Contractor to perform the service. We will not reimburse You for services performed without Our prior approval.

You must ask Us for a second opinion from another Service Contractor within seven (7) days from Us informing You the malfunction is not covered. In the event that the outcome of the second opinion is different than the first opinion, then We may, in Our discretion, decide whether to accept coverage under this Contract. If You request a second opinion, You will be responsible for the payment of an additional Service Call Fee only if the outcome of the second opinion is the same as the initial opinion.
E. In the event We authorize or request You to contact an independent service contractor to perform a covered service, We will provide reimbursement for an authorized amount of the cost You incur for the repair or replacement services. Acceptable proof of the repair and Your actual itemized costs must be provided to and approved by Us before any reimbursement will be paid. We are not responsible for expenses You incur without Our express consent. We will not reimburse You for any costs associated with unauthorized repairs or work performed by unauthorized contractors.
