Certified Care Extended Service Plan

Terms & Conditions

The Certified Care Extended Service Plan (referred to hereinafter as the “Plan”) is a legal contract between you and us. THE PLAN IS NOT A CONTRACT OF INSURANCE. By purchasing the Plan, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read the terms and conditions set forth herein and you agree to be bound by them.

1. Parties and Interpretation

References in this Plan to the words “you” and “your” mean the purchaser of this Plan identified on the Schedule Page (or such other person to whom the Plan has been transferred in accordance with these terms and conditions) and the words “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Whirlpool Canada LP, the obligor of this Plan.

References in this Plan to (i) “Contract Number” means the Contract Number indicated on the Schedule Page; (ii) “Service Address” means the Service Address indicated on the Schedule Page or the address notified to us pursuant to sections 8; and (iii) “Whirlpool Product(s)” means the appliance(s) manufactured by Whirlpool Canada LP1 or its affiliates to be covered under this Plan as identified on the Schedule Page.

2. Product Eligibility

This Plan extends only to Whirlpool Products used for personal, family or household purposes. Whirlpool Products must have been originally purchased as new for use in Canada. Copies of purchase invoices must be available upon request (usually prior to service or repair occurring) in order for us to validate that your Whirlpool Product continues to be eligible under this Plan. If you are unable to provide us with a copy of the purchase invoices for a Whirlpool Product, we may in our sole discretion deny service, or repair for that particular Whirlpool Product. Whirlpool Products older than ten (10) years of age, refurbished products, products sold “as is” and pre-owned products are not eligible for this Plan.

3. Term, Renewals and Amendments

The initial term of your Plan corresponds to the start and end dates of the Service Period indicated on the Schedule Page (the “Initial Term”). Unless terminated earlier by you or us in accordance with section 10, this Plan will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”).

There may be some changes to the terms and conditions of this Plan (including pricing) upon renewal. At least thirty (30) days before the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, we will send you a notice to your billing address to remind you of the renewal and to notify you of any changes to this Plan (including pricing) that will apply if it is renewed. If you do not wish to renew your Plan or accept any of the changes to the Plan (including pricing) that will apply if it is renewed, then you must provide us with a notice of cancellation in the manner prescribed in section 10(a) on or before the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. Otherwise, this Plan will automatically renew on the terms and conditions (including pricing) described in the notice we send to you.

4. Paying for Your Plan

Single-Pay Plans

Plans can be paid for in full at the time of initial purchase (“Single-Pay Plans”).

Multi-Pay Plans

Plans can be purchased in monthly installments (“Multi-Pay Plans”). Multi-Pay Plans are subject to a non-refundable administration fee of 10% of the Plan’s total purchase price (excluding tax). Applicable taxes (including HST) will be added to each monthly installment when billed. You agree to have the credit card or other authorized payment source used to purchase your Plan kept on file (your “Credit Card”) so that we can automatically charge you monthly installments following your initial payment. You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to your billing information. Failure to pay any installment will result in the suspension of our obligations under your Plan until payment of any outstanding installment has been received. You will have thirty (30) days from the date of a missed payment to submit payment and reactivate your Plan. No service will be provided for claims occurring or submitted on or after the suspension date of your Plan until the missed payment is submitted. Failure to pay any installment before the thirty-first (31) day after a missed payment will result in the immediate termination of your Plan. We have no obligations under the Plan for service or repairs made on or after the termination date, even if the event giving rise to the service or repairs occurred before termination.

If you have a Multi-Pay Plan and you have made a request for service or repairs on your Whirlpool Product, prior to performing such service or repairs you authorize us to charge your Credit Card for an amount that is equal to the cost of the service or repair , in case you fail to pay the outstanding installment payments for the remainder of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.

5. What is Covered by Your Plan

General – Subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions provided herein, your Plan covers the cost of functional parts and labour for repairing or servicing Whirlpool Product failures resulting from mechanical or electrical failure when the Whirlpool Product is being used for normal personal, family or household use. Genuine Whirlpool factory certified parts will be used whenever possible; however, at our option, re- manufactured parts that perform to the factory specifications of the Whirlpool Product may be used. Service or repairs performed without our approval will not be reimbursed and will result in the termination of our obligations under this Plan to provide service for that Whirlpool Product.

If we are unable to repair or service your Whirlpool Product or if, in our sole discretion, we deem that repair or service is not cost effective, we have the option, at our sole discretion, to replace your Whirlpool Product with a replacement product of similar features and functionality or, at your option, issue you a purchase discount equal to the value of the replacement product that you can use toward the purchase of a replacement product of similar features and functionality from our family of brands. Please note that technological advances may result in a replacement product with a lower selling price than the original Whirlpool Product purchase price; however, no refunds will be made based on the replacement product cost difference from the original Whirlpool Product purchase price.

Replacement of a Whirlpool Product, or allowance of a purchase discount will, with respect to that Whirlpool Product: (a) entirely fulfill all our obligations under this Plan; and, (b) cancel and discharge all further obligations under this Plan, where allowed by law. Purchase discount allowances may not be redeemed for cash and any unused portion will be forfeited.

If your Plan applies to multiple products, our obligations under your Plan for the other Whirlpool Products will remain in effect, but a new plan must be purchased in order to obtain extended service on any replacement Whirlpool Canada LP product. The defective Whirlpool Product will become our property, should we unilaterally elect to exercise our rights to the property.

Out of Warranty Exclusion – If you purchased your Plan after the expiration of our manufacturer’s warranty, one of our authorized service technicians must conduct an initial inspection of your Product before performing any service or repair under this Plan. If, while carrying out the initial inspection of your Product, one of our authorized service technicians determines that your Product is not repairable, or if the cost of repair is higher than the cost to replace the Product, your Plan will be canceled and you will receive a full refund for your purchase of the Plan and under no circumstances will your Product be replaced. We will cover the cost of labour in connection with the initial inspection. No other compensation will be paid to you by us.

No Lemon Guarantee – If you purchased your Plan before our manufacturer’s warranty expired and, during the Initial Term, the same component fails three (3) times and that Whirlpool Product requires a fourth (4th) repair, as determined by us, we will provide a replacement product (the “No Lemon Guarantee”). Component failures during our manufacturer’s warranty or during a Renewal Term do not count toward the No Lemon Guarantee. If you purchased your Plan after the expiration of our manufacturer’s warranty, you are not eligible for the No Lemon Guarantee.

Preventative Maintenance – If you purchased your Plan before our manufacturer’s warranty expired, we will provide you with one (1) preventative maintenance inspection during the Initial Term and one (1) preventative maintenance inspection during a Renewal Term, for each Whirlpool Product (“Preventative Maintenance”). If you request Preventative Maintenance and you have multiple Whirlpool Products eligible for Preventative Maintenance at the same Service Address, the Preventative Maintenance for all such Whirlpool Products must be conducted at the same time. If you purchased your Plan after the expiration of our manufacturer’s warranty, you are not eligible for Preventative Maintenance.

Rust Damage Repair – If you purchased your Plan before our manufacturer’s warranty expired, we will repair damage caused by rust, but only when rust impedes the correct functioning of the Whirlpool Product or affects a washer’s tub, a dryer’s drums or a dishwasher’s baskets and/or tubs, if such appliances are listed on the Schedule Page (“Rust Damage Repair”). Rust Damage Repair is only available during the Initial Term. You are not eligible for Rust Damage Repair if you purchased your Plan after the expiration of our manufacturer’s warranty.

Parts Discount – Your Plan entitles you to obtain a discount of 25% off our regular manufacturer’s suggested retail price for any parts not covered by this Plan when you purchase those parts directly from us. To redeem your discount and purchase any qualifying part, call us at 1-866-664-9328 and quote your Contract Number.

6. Location of Service

Wherever possible, we will provide in-home service at the Service Address. The Whirlpool Product must be easily accessible and removable for servicing. If your Whirlpool Product must be repaired elsewhere, you will be responsible for related pick-up and return expenses.

7. If You Need Service
