It is important for You to know that Damage or defects caused by unauthorized repair, incorrect installation, theft, burglary, accident, terrorism, abuse or misuse of the product, fire, use on an incorrect voltage, power dips, poor environmental operating conditions, thunderstorm, household pets, rats, cockroaches or any other animals or insects, Force Majeure etc. are not covered. The plans also do not cover accessories, consumables, external items etc. e.g. external cables, toner, cartridges, batteries, chargers, adapters etc. Specific exclusions related to certain products may also apply. You MUST read the terms and conditions of your Service Plan very carefully before requesting for service. Those services and parts which are not covered in part or full in the Service Plan are charged extra. For any doubts or clarifications, please feel free to contact us.
The purpose of InfyShield Service Plans is to provide you hardware failure protection at a reasonable and affordable cost. Many items mentioned in exclusions are consumables which means they get consumed while you use the product while some of the parts like body parts do not malfunction. Excluding such items not only reduces your cost of Service Plans, but it also ensures you pay for only that what you actually require or consume.
This is important question before buying any service plan for your product. You should consider:
- Please review whether you actually need a service plan e.g. you should check whether your product is covered under some other service plan or insurance.
- Short term service plans are costlier than a long term. For example, a one year extended service plan and renewing it for another year will be costlier than buying a 2 years Extended Warranty Service Plan.
- Buy the service plans at the first available opportunity. The Accidental Damage Protection plan cannot be purchased at a later date whereas buying Extended Warranty at the time of your product purchase will be cheaper than buying the same towards the end of the standard warranty period.
- Look at the profile of the promoters of the warranty provider. The professionals in customer service industry will be the most suited to understand your service needs.
- Be careful and read all inclusions and exclusions i.e. what is covered and what is not covered under Extended Warranty Service Plan.
- Ensure you have clear information on the costs and the benefits of the warranty.

The model and serial numbers are located on the product model number plate. The product owner's manual will tell you exactly where the product model number plate is located on your product. Most manufacturer model and serial numbers consist of a combination of letters and numbers. Some will also include dashes and dots.

Identification numbers on sales receipts, shipping boxes and energy guide stickers usually contain partial model numbers. Do not use these sources to obtain your model number. User and care manuals are also not a good way to find your model number. These booklets are often produced to cover several different models and there is no way of identifying which model number is for your product.
