Replacement protection plan: starts at the date of purchase of the product and extends up to 2 or 3 years depending on plan purchased. Limited to projectors with a purchase price under $500. If the projector has a hardware failure (not Accidental Damage related) during the plan timeframe, then the customer can bring the product to the store for evaluation by our Service department (plan does not cover shipping projector to the store for evaluation).

The gift card buys out the plan and can be used towards the purchase of any item in-store (does not have to be the same item that the plan covered).Carry-in Extension protection plan: starts after the manufacturer's warranty expires and only covers if the internal components of the covered product fail.
