Note: You can select one of three Coverage terms: 3, 6 or 12 months. Please review Your Invoice to make certain Your selection is correct.
UNITED GUARD SERVICE CONTRACT COVERAGE IS AVAILABLE TO ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL PURCHASERS OF CERTAIN NEW AND USED PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT (THE "EQUIPMENT") PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM UNITED RENTALS, INC. (TOGETHER WITH ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILLIATES, “UNITED RENTALS”, THE "OBLIGOR", "US" OR "WE") WITHIN 72 HOURS OF EQUIPMENT PURCHASE.
THIS NON-VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT AGREEMENT (THIS "AGREEMENT") IS NOT AN INSURANCE CONTRACT AND IT IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO UNITED RENTALS' DIRECT COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS.
In return for payment by a direct commercial customer ("You" or the "Customer") of the contract price specified on the Equipment Sale Agreement/Invoice ("Your Invoice") that is attached hereto and is hereby Incorporated by reference into this Agreement, the Obligor agrees with You as follows:
Note: You can select one of three Coverage terms: 3, 6 or 12 months. Please review Your Invoice to make certain Your selection is correct.
Subject to all of the limitations and other terms and conditions of this Agreement, particularly Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and further subject to the coverage term (3, 6 or 12 month) as referenced on your Invoice, the Obligor will repair or replace the Equipment on behalf of the Customer in the event the covered Equipment specified on Your Invoice or any component thereof fails to function during normal use. Wear, tear, and abuse of covered Equipment are excluded. At the discretion of the Obligor, replacement parts used in covered repairs may include non-original equipment manufacturer parts, new, remanufactured, or used parts that meet the quality standards of the repairer or the Obligor. If the Equipment cannot be repaired, if the cost of the repair exceeds the original purchase price paid by You to United Rentals if the parts are not available due to the age of the Equipment, or parts have been discontinued by the manufacturer, the Equipment will be replaced with equipment of comparable features, taking into consideration age, wear, and tear. If the Equipment is replaced, the term of the Agreement is completed, and the Obligor will have no further obligation to You.
This Agreement is a service contract providing specified repair or replacement benefits to You. This Agreement is not a limited warranty or manufacturer’s warranty. However, if You have purchased new equipment directly from Us and You have also purchased service contract coverage from Us for the new equipment, then You will have the benefit of the manufacturer’s limited warranty, and after the manufacturer’s limited warranty expires, You will have the benefit of this Agreement for the Coverage Term that You select and that is specified on your Invoice. New Equipment is defined as Equipment: 1) retailed directly by United Rentals to Customer, 2) supplied to Customer in the manufacturer's original packaging, and 3) never previously used by anyone.
The Obligor makes no warranties to those defined as consumers in the Magnuson- Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act.
The effective dates (i.e., beginning date and ending time of coverage) and duration of this Agreement are specified on the face of your Invoice, consistent with your selection of 3, 6 or 12 month coverage, or until the Equipment is replaced, if necessary. In the event an authorized repairer is repairing the Equipment when this Agreement expires, the term of this Agreement will be extended until the covered repair has been completed.
The limit of liability for any claim under this Agreement is the market value of the Equipment at time of claim, as determined by the Obligor.
Subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in this Section 6, and in Section 7, of this Agreement, the Equipment will be covered against failure, subject to the Equipment being fully serviced, in accordance with the manufacturer's service instructions, at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer and subject to the Customer's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
