IMPORTANT PURCHASE DISCLOSURE
Purchasing an Appliance GrandMasters Appliance Protection Plan is optional.
Purchase of this Service Agreement is not required to purchase or obtain financing for any appliance.
1. COVERAGE OVERVIEW
1.1 Covered Service
Coverage includes only appliances and services expressly covered by this Agreement and registered under the Customer’s Enrollment Record. All coverage is subject to the limitations, exclusions, eligibility requirements, service fees, and other provisions contained in this Agreement.
Customers should review the complete Agreement and their Enrollment Record to determine their specific coverage.
1.2 Normal Wear and Tear; Pre-Existing and Other Conditions
Coverage under this Agreement is intended for eligible malfunctions resulting from normal wear and tear during the applicable coverage period.
Coverage does not include a malfunction caused by or resulting from conditions existing before coverage begins or from conditions excluded by this Agreement, including:
insufficient or lack of maintenance;
rust, corrosion, or sediment;
improper installation;
improper previous repairs;
unauthorized modifications; or
pre-existing conditions, including conditions that may not have been detectable through a visual inspection or simple mechanical test.
For purposes of this provision, a visual inspection considers whether the appliance appears structurally intact and whether visible damage or missing parts indicate inoperability. A simple mechanical test may include operating the appliance sufficiently to determine whether it functions without abnormal sounds, smoke, visible damage, or other obvious abnormal conditions.
1.3 Covered Repair Costs
For an eligible covered repair, Appliance GrandMasters will cover qualifying costs for:
covered parts;
covered labor;
dismantling or removal of defective covered components; and
recapture, reclaiming, and disposal of refrigerant when required for the covered repair.
Coverage is subject to all appliance-specific exclusions and limitations contained in this Agreement.
1.4 Conditions Required for Service
Covered appliances must be reasonably accessible and properly installed for diagnosis within the home or garage.
Where applicable, the Customer is responsible for providing:
a proper electrical supply;
a proper water supply;
a proper drain system;
safe and reasonable access to the appliance; and
operating conditions reasonably necessary for diagnosis and service.
1.5 Repair Determination
For covered malfunctions, Appliance GrandMasters will determine whether repair is appropriate under the terms of this Agreement.
Appliance GrandMasters may use new, rebuilt, remanufactured, or otherwise serviceable components when appropriate, provided the repair satisfies the covered-service obligation under this Agreement.
Appliance GrandMasters retains the right to determine whether a covered appliance is repairable or qualifies for Replacement Assistance under Section 1.6.
1.6 Replacement Assistance
A covered appliance may be considered non-repairable after four unsuccessful attempts to repair it have been made, unless Appliance GrandMasters determines otherwise under the terms of this Agreement.
If a covered appliance qualifies for replacement, Appliance GrandMasters will provide a $500 credit toward a new replacement appliance.
If the $500 replacement credit is used at Appliance GM Superstore, the Customer will receive an additional $150 credit, for a total eligible replacement credit of $650.
For an eligible replacement obtained through Appliance GM Superstore, Appliance GrandMasters will provide standard delivery, standard installation, and haul-away/disposal of the replaced appliance at no additional charge, subject to the access, construction, modification, installation, lifting-equipment, and other limitations and exclusions contained in this Agreement.
Replacement Assistance does not expand coverage to costs or conditions otherwise excluded by this Agreement.
1.7 Eligible Property
This Agreement is intended for qualifying residential property, including:
single-family homes;
apartments;
condominiums or townhomes; and
mobile homes,
provided the covered residence is under 6,000 square feet.
This Agreement is for residential property and does not provide coverage for commercial property or premises operated or converted primarily for business purposes.
2. CONTRACT TERM, PLAN FEES, AND PAYMENT
2.1 Standard Plan Duration
The standard Appliance Protection Plan term is twelve (12) months, unless an approved promotional extension applies or a different term is expressly stated in the Customer’s Enrollment Record.
For a first-year Customer, the Agreement term begins on the Agreement Effective Date reflected in AGM’s records and continues through the applicable expiration date.
The Customer’s Coverage Start Date is governed separately by Section 5 and may occur after the Agreement Effective Date.
Where the Enrollment Record states a specific Agreement Effective Date, Coverage Start Date, or Coverage Expiration Date, the customer-specific dates contained in that record control.
2.2 Promotional Plan Duration
Eligible Gold and Platinum enrollments may receive Appliance GrandMasters’ 13 Months for the Price of 12 promotional benefit.
Under the promotion, one additional month of plan coverage is provided at no additional plan fee.
The Customer’s promotional eligibility and applicable Coverage Expiration Date must be reflected in the Enrollment Record.
A promotional extension does not apply unless the Customer’s enrollment, checkout confirmation, or other written AGM record expressly identifies the promotion.
The exact date calculation used for an eligible promotional enrollment—including the interaction among the Enrollment Date, Agreement Effective Date, Coverage Start Date, standard term, payment schedule, and promotional month—remains subject to the customer-specific dates reflected in the Enrollment Record.
Promotional Monthly Billing
Where an eligible Gold or Platinum monthly enrollment expressly identifies a first-month-free promotional payment benefit, Appliance GrandMasters will honor the promotional billing benefit shown in the Customer’s Enrollment Record.
The applicable payment schedule, Coverage Start Date, and Coverage Expiration Date remain separate customer-specific terms and will be reflected in AGM’s records.
The promotional billing benefit does not create any additional coverage or benefit beyond what is expressly stated in the Enrollment Record and this Agreement.
2.3 Silver Protection Plan
Annual Plan Fee: $325
Monthly Payment Option: $29.95 per month
Service Fee: $99 per covered service visit
The Silver Protection Plan does not include high-end appliance coverage.
No 13th-month promotional extension is included with Silver unless Appliance GrandMasters expressly provides a separate written promotion in the Customer’s Enrollment Record.
2.4 Gold Protection Plan
Annual Plan Fee: $575
Monthly Payment Option: $52.95 per month
Service Fee: $49 per covered service visit
The Gold Protection Plan does not include high-end appliance coverage.
Eligible Gold enrollments may include the 13 Months for the Price of 12 promotional benefit.
2.5 Platinum Protection Plan
Annual Plan Fee: $695
Monthly Payment Option: $69.95 per month
Service Fee: $0 per covered service visit
Eligible Platinum enrollments may include the 13 Months for the Price of 12 promotional benefit.
Optional high-end appliance coverage remains available with the Platinum Protection Plan for an additional $300 annual fee, subject to the high-end appliance eligibility requirements, appliance-specific exclusions, and Customer’s Enrollment Record.
Unless specifically approved otherwise in writing by Appliance GrandMasters, existing appliance-specific exclusions remain applicable even where high-end coverage has been purchased.
2.6 Service Fee
Where applicable, the Customer must pay the service fee associated with the selected plan for each covered service visit.
A separately scheduled or separately dispatched technician visit constitutes a separate service visit.
Whether multiple registered appliances can be evaluated during the same appointment is subject to Appliance GrandMasters’ scheduling, technician capacity, appliance condition, and authorization.
A plan’s service fee does not include separately identified charges that are expressly excluded from plan coverage, including applicable after-hours charges or non-covered work.
2.7 Monthly Billing
Customers selecting a monthly payment option authorize Appliance GrandMasters and its payment processor to make recurring monthly charges according to the payment schedule provided at enrollment.
Monthly-billed Customers must keep all required Agreement payments current.
Appliance GrandMasters is not required to provide covered service while amounts due under the Agreement are past due.
Suspension of covered service for past-due amounts does not waive amounts otherwise owed or change the Agreement’s expiration date unless Appliance GrandMasters agrees otherwise in writing or applicable law requires otherwise.
No late fee, grace period, or other additional payment penalty is created by this Agreement unless separately disclosed and legally permitted.
2.8 Payment Methods
Payment may be made using an approved payment card or any other payment method accepted by Appliance GrandMasters.
2.9 Renewal Customer and Lapsed Agreements
A renewal Customer is an existing Appliance GrandMasters Protection Plan customer whose Agreement has been offered for renewal.
Unless otherwise stated in a renewal Enrollment Record, the renewed Agreement term begins upon expiration of the previous Agreement.
The Agreement must presently be renewed before its expiration date.
Under the current policy, if an Agreement expires before renewal, a six-month waiting period applies before the Customer may renew or acquire another Appliance Protection Plan.
This six-month lapse rule is being retained in this interim revision pending further ownership review.
2.10 Automatic Renewal
This Agreement does not by itself create an automatic-renewal obligation unless automatic renewal is expressly authorized and identified in the Customer’s Enrollment Record or other written enrollment authorization.
Any automatic-renewal process used by Appliance GrandMasters is subject to applicable state law, required advance notices, and legally required cancellation procedures.
3. REQUESTING SERVICE
3.1 Reporting a Malfunction
The Customer must notify Appliance GrandMasters as soon as reasonably possible after discovering a malfunction and before the applicable coverage period expires.
3.2 How to Request Service
Service may be requested by calling (864) 513-1828 during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or through an authorized service-request method made available by Appliance GrandMasters.
3.3 Account Must Be Current
Customers enrolled through a monthly payment option must keep their account current.
Appliance GrandMasters is not required to provide covered service while required Agreement payments are past due.
3.4 Unauthorized Third-Party Service
Appliance GrandMasters will not reimburse repairs, diagnosis, parts, labor, or other services performed by another vendor without Appliance GrandMasters’ prior approval, except where applicable law expressly requires otherwise.
3.5 Repair or Replacement Determination
Appliance GrandMasters retains the right to determine whether continued repair or Replacement Assistance is appropriate under this Agreement.
Any replacement determination is subject to Section 1.6 and the applicable eligibility requirements.
3.6 Scheduling and Response Times
General service appointments are scheduled based on technician availability, Customer availability, location, business hours, parts availability, access to the covered appliance, weather, and other operational conditions.
Except for a plan-specific response benefit that is expressly defined in written customer-specific terms, this general scheduling provision does not guarantee:
technician arrival within a specified number of hours;
diagnosis within a specified number of hours;
completion of repair within a specified number of hours; or
availability of required parts within a specified period.
Platinum Response Benefit: Appliance GrandMasters presently markets an additional response benefit for qualifying Platinum enrollments. The final definition of “24-hour response,” applicable hours, exceptions, and any remedy associated with that benefit remains pending ownership approval.
Accordingly, the benefit must be defined in written plan-specific or promotional terms before it is relied upon to establish a particular technician-arrival or repair-completion obligation.
3.7 Appointment Confirmation and After-Hours Service
Appliance GrandMasters will contact the Customer to schedule and confirm service.
If an appointment is not confirmed when requested, Appliance GrandMasters may reschedule the appointment.
Normal service hours are generally Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
After-hours service may be available for an additional $49 After-Hours Fee when Appliance GrandMasters has after-hours availability.
The After-Hours Fee is separate from any Silver, Gold, or Platinum service fee.
3.8 Emergency Requests
Appliance GrandMasters will determine which service requests are treated as emergencies and will make reasonable efforts to expedite an emergency service request when operationally possible.
Same-day service is not guaranteed unless expressly stated in a separate written benefit applicable to the Customer.
3.9 Expedited Non-Emergency Service
Requests to expedite non-emergency service may be accepted when scheduling availability permits.
3.10 Non-Covered Repairs
If Appliance GrandMasters determines that a malfunction is not covered under this Agreement, the Customer may request a separate estimate for non-covered diagnostic or repair work.

The following appliance categories and current quantity limitations remain in effect unless the Customer’s Enrollment Record expressly provides otherwise.

5. WHEN COVERAGE BEGINS AND APPLIANCE REGISTRATION
5.1 Coverage Start
Coverage for a new Appliance Protection Plan begins 30 days after enrollment.
Before covered service can be provided, the Customer must complete Appliance GrandMasters’ required appliance-registration process and provide requested information, including, when available:
appliance type;
brand;
model number; and
serial number.
Only appliances properly registered in the Customer’s file and otherwise eligible under this Agreement are covered.
The 30-day waiting period does not itself determine the Customer’s promotional billing schedule or the final expiration date of an eligible promotional plan. Those customer-specific dates and payment terms will be reflected in the Enrollment Record.
5.2 Registered Appliances
Appliance information provided by the Customer will be maintained in the Customer’s Appliance GrandMasters file.
Only eligible appliances registered under this Agreement are covered unless an approved replacement appliance is added during the Agreement term.
5.3 Brand Eligibility and High-End Appliances
Coverage applies only to appliance brands eligible under Appliance GrandMasters’ Protection Plan requirements.
High-end appliances are eligible only through an applicable Platinum High-End coverage option that has been separately approved and purchased.
The current high-end surcharge is $300 annually.
The purchase of high-end coverage does not automatically override an appliance-specific exclusion unless Appliance GrandMasters expressly confirms the appliance’s eligibility in the Enrollment Record.

opening, creating, restoring, or closing structural access to covered appliances;
