PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This is not a warranty of the retail establishment from which you purchased your furniture protection product. Coverage is limited to invoices no greater than $20,000. Warranty coverage is limited to North America. All warranty claims must be submitted to Guardian Protection Products, Inc. This Protection Plan is not a cleaning or maintenance contract, insurance policy, or original manufacturer’s warranty. This plan is only valid for new furniture that was purchased at the same time as this Protection Plan, and appears on the sales receipt as such. There is no deductible associated with this Protection Plan.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

This plan, issued by Guardian Protection Products, Inc., hereinafter referred to as “Guardian” applies to the original owner of the new furniture item(s) purchased with this plan and listed on the invoice, hereinafter referred to as “Customer”. Guardian warrants the furniture purchased with this plan, and will service the item(s) as outlined below, within five (5) years from the date of delivery.

TO QUALIFY FOR THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE CUSTOMER MUST:

1. Have their newly purchased furniture picked up or delivered stain, damage, and soil-free from the authorized dealer.
2. Report all plan claims to Guardian within 30 days of the accidental staining or damage occurrence.
3. Clean the stained areas only as directed by your care kit instructions. Do not attempt to clean a stain with any unauthorized chemicals as this could cause damage that is not covered by this plan and could void any future plan claim.

WHY GUARDIAN NEEDS YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS:

Plan registration should be completed by the store at the time of furniture and plan purchase. Guardian will e-mail you your official Goof Proof Plus Protection Plan with your unique identification number soon after you receive your new furniture. Receipt of the e-mail assures that your Goof Proof Plus Protection Plan is in full force..You’re protected! Rest assured that Guardian will only use your e-mail address for plan administration. Your furniture is protected and so is your privacy! Incomplete registration will be directed back to the retailer to confirm eligibility to file a claim. Cleaning, repair, or replacement of furniture MUST be first authorized by Guardian and MUST have a Guardian authorization number before any service or replacement is initiated. The Customer must relinquish the replaced item to an authorized Guardian representative.

NOTE: The Customer shall reasonably cooperate with Guardian in its efforts to perform its obligations under this plan. Failure to comply with the provisions in this plan may void any claim. Guardian has the right to void a claim should the customer refuse our attempts to repair or service.

GUARDIAN WILL BE RESPONSIBLE ONLY FOR SERVICING THE WARRANTED STAINED OR DAMAGED AREA OF THE FURNITURE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Providing the Customer with a toll-free number to file claims for covered stains or damages.
2. If the covered stain persists, Guardian will provide a cleaning kit or have the covered stained or damaged area serviced by a professional technician at no charge to the Customer. Professional cleaning or servicing is limited to the covered stained or damaged area only.
3. If the technician cannot remove the covered stain or repair the item(s), Guardian may replace the affected area. If the affected area(s) cannot be replaced, the Customer can select a new replacement piece equal in value to the original purchase price from the retailer from whom this plan was purchased. This value excludes all taxes, delivery/shipping fees or plan purchase price paid on the original invoice.

NOTE: If the customer moves outside of the delivery area of Bob’s Discount Furniture, the customer can choose to pay all applicable shipping/delivery costs associated with the plan claim or choose to have the plan purchase price refunded. This option is dependent upon Bob’s Discount Furniture and the availability of services that may vary from location to location. Guardian is not responsible for fabric or leather dye lot variations, wood finish variations, or manufacturer’s discontinuation. Repair or replacement is limited to the affected item(s) only. Replacement of any item covered by this plan fulfills all terms and conditions of plan coverage for that item. Additional plan coverage may be purchased for the replaced item(s) from the retailer from whom this plan was purchased. All replaced item(s) become the property of Guardian. In an event of a covered claim, the Customer may be given the option of a full refund of their Guardian Protection Program purchase in lieu of cleaning, repair or replacement, should the Customer decide to keep the original furniture in its present condition.

NOTE: If the retailer from whom this plan was purchased is no longer in business, in the case of a covered claim, the plan becomes service only. If the item(s) cannot be serviced, Guardian’s liability will be limited to a refund of the purchase price of this protection plan. Once a refund has been issued for any item, all terms and conditions of the plan will be fulfilled and all future claims will be void.
