Hi there, I’ve checked your order in our system. I’m sorry, but your order is no longer within the 60-day purchase window, so the plan is no longer available for purchase.
When they introduced it, wasn’t the requirement that it had to be purchased within 6-months of base warranty expiration?
Yes, but then xCotton (the company providing the extended warranty, not Yarbo) moved the ball, so some who waited until the last moment couldn’t get them
Put me in that basket. Guess I should’ve expected it ![]()
Yeah as @kinglerch mentioned the provider changed the rules abruptly and there wasn’t much time for notice for people to purchase it before they pulled it.
Oh too bad. i should have take this in october or november when it was launch.
I think have done but no.
May be it wouldn’t have work cause I’m in europe.
I think I read a comment somewhere where it wasn’t available there yet.
Check out the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. It doesn’t matter that the extended warranty was offered by a third party. There are still consumer protection laws that companies must follow.
I don’t see how that act has any relevance to the third party extended “warranty”. It is to protect consumers from manufacturers not warrantying products when third party parts are used unless that part can be proven to have caused the issue. It also says that companies don’t have to disclose a warranty policy but if they do have one in writing then it must be adhered to. Yarbo does have one and as far as I can tell adheres to it. Is there something else in the act I am missing?
They offered an extended warranty and the terms of that warranty were disclosed at the time of purchase. It doesn’t matter that the extended warranty was provided by a third party vendor. It was marketed by Yarbo, therefore, becomes part of the terms of service at the time of purchase.
I think it falls under the service contract category and some states mandate that be treated like insurance. Considering the underwriter is a large insurance company, this seems to track and make sense that it would be treated as such. If it is, the act doesn’t apply.
