2.0 Plan Renewal

There is an automatic renewal process, for your convenience. Each year, your plan will renew on the anniversary of your coverage date (“renewal date”) unless you have given us notice prior to the renewal date that you do not wish to renew the plan, or we have given you notice prior to the renewal date that we will not be renewing your plan. 

3.0 Plan Coverage

This can be a house,  condominium, manufactured home that has been anchored to a permanent foundation and not moved during the coverage term, townhouse, or apartment unit. Residences that are used for business and commercial properties are not eligible for coverage. 

Coverage is unit-specific, using Model and Serial numbers for identification. More than one unit can be added to the plan for an additional cost.

1. Transfer the plan to your new address, provided the address is within our service area. Your plan will be canceled for your old address and the remaining installments will be billed out.  The billed installments will then be applied as a credit on your first bill to the new residence. A  new plan will be created, which will remain in effect for an initial period of one year. Please contact Schomberg Sheet Metal Ltd. 30 days prior to your move to ensure a smooth transition of your plan to your new residence.

If you have used the service within the 10 days, the plan will be canceled and we will issue a refund for any payments made but you will be billed for the cost of the service performed. 

If one of our authorized technicians deems your equipment ineligible under the plan coverage and you have no prior service completed under the plan, a refund will be issued for up to 2 years of payments made.

• Safely and readily accessible for diagnosis and repair by our technician, and • Located in a safe and sanitary environment for our technician. 

Liability 

 

Schomberg Sheet Metal Ltd. tries to diagnose and repair problems on the first visit; however, this is not always possible. Schomberg Sheet Metal Ltd. is not liable for losses or damages resulting from misdiagnosis or delays in completing the diagnostic or repairs. If we do not correct or repair a problem covered by this plan, or if a replacement part fails, our sole liability will be to correct the problem and, if necessary, to provide additional replacement parts. 

In no event is Schomberg Sheet Metal Ltd. liable for indirect, consequential, or economic damages, or for loss or damages to any person or property, indirect, consequential, or incidental arising from the use or inability to use the equipment to the extent such may be disclaimed by law, nor does Schomberg  Sheet Metal Ltd. cover any defects which are subject to a manufacturer’s or distributor’s recall, in-home warranty, or which are covered under a manufacturer’s, distributor’s or builder’s program of reimbursement. 

Pre-existing defects of deficiencies in existence prior to enrolment in this plan are excluded from coverage. 

All parts and labour covered by the plan must be provided by our technician. We cannot reimburse you for parts and labour completed by others. 

Unavailable parts or Non-repairable Equipment – Schomberg Sheet Metal Ltd. will try to locate a  replacement part or an appropriate substitute as quickly as possible, but limited availability of certain parts may result in delays from time to time. In the event that a part is not available any longer or we cannot obtain it at a commercially reasonable cost, we will not be liable for replacing the equipment. 

If the part is not available any longer, or the equipment cannot be repaired, either of us may terminate this plan. If the plan is terminated and you have no prior service completed under the plan, Schomberg  Sheet Metal Ltd. will issue a refund for a maximum of 2 years of payments made from the last service date. 

Warranty 

 

We make no representations or warranties as to the parts and labour, except for those that are given  by statute, except as provided below.
