How warranties help maintain your product's value and protect your investment

Do warranties help my product's resale value?

Transferable warranties can increase resale value by providing buyer confidence and protection. Value increase typically ranges from 50-80% of remaining warranty value, plus marketing advantage in competitive selling situations. Non-transferable warranties provide no resale benefit but still create quality perception. SureBright's transferable warranties enhance resale value while providing fair cancellation alternatives.

Should my warranty strategy change based on how long I keep products?

Warranty strategy should align with ownership duration and usage patterns. Long-term owners benefit from comprehensive, extended coverage periods. Short-term owners might prioritize basic coverage or rely on cancellation refund options. Consider usage intensity which can affect coverage needs regardless of ownership duration. SureBright offers flexible term options and transferable coverage for different ownership patterns.

How do warranties work when I trade in products?

Warranty handling for trade-ins depends on provider policies and may include transfer options, cancellation refunds, or value credits toward new coverage. Plan ahead for trade-in scenarios when purchasing warranties for products you might upgrade. Consider how warranty protection affects trade-in value calculations.

Can I use my warranty coverage while traveling?

Coverage geographic scope varies by provider and product type. National providers typically offer coverage throughout the country. International coverage limited unless specifically included. Emergency authorization often available for urgent repairs while traveling. SureBright maintains nationwide coverage networks and 24/7 emergency authorization services, ensuring protection remains accessible regardless of location within coverage areas.

How do warranties work with manufacturer recalls?

Extended warranties typically don't cover manufacturer recalls, as these remain manufacturer responsibility. Some warranties exclude problems covered by recalls. SureBright helps customers work with manufacturers on recall issues, ensuring you receive appropriate coverage while avoiding duplication. Since most SureBright policies are pro-rata and transferable, you can either transfer warranties to replacement products or get refunds for unused coverage duration.

Do warranties make people keep products longer?

Warranties can encourage longer product ownership by reducing replacement anxiety and providing repair incentives. Extended product lifecycles benefit environmental sustainability through reduced waste. Quality warranties support circular economy principles by making repairs more accessible and affordable than replacement.

What happens to devices that get replaced under warranty?

Warranty providers typically refurbish replaced devices for reuse when possible or recycle components responsibly. SureBright partners with certified recycling programs and refurbishment services to minimize environmental impact while recovering device value through responsible disposal and reuse programs.
