LONG LIVE HAPPY HOMES®

GAAL_A.v5K.09_17

When does my Home Warranty Service Agreement begin?Your coverage starts on the Effective Date stated on the front of this Service Agreement, which is 30 days after You selected and ordered this coverage from Us, and ends 12 months later.

How do I request service?Contact Us at 2-10.com/homeowner or 800.775.4736, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to place a service request.

What happens when I request service?When We receive Your service request, We dispatch an independent service contractor from Our network (a “Service Contractor ”) who will schedule a time, typically Monday through Friday during normal business hours, to inspect and diagnose Your reported issue. The Service Contractor then relays the findings back to Us. We use that information to determine whether a reported issue is within the coverage described throughout this Service Agreement, including determining whether the item was in good and safe working order on the Effective Date. In making that determination, We consider, among other relevant factors, whether a reasonable visual inspection and/or a simple mechanical test could have detected the Failure prior to the Effective Date. For example, a visual inspection would be examining a Covered Item to confirm it is intact and without damage or missing parts, and a simple mechanical test would be turning on a Covered Item and confirming it performs its primary function in a reasonable manner. If We need more information to make any determination, We may request a second opinion, at Our expense, from another Service Contractor.

‘Even If’ Service Fee Guarantee is exclusive to 2-10 HBW.

‘Even If’ an item isn’t eligible for coverage, and we dispatched a Service Contractor, reimbursement of the paid Service Fee may be requested.

‘Even If’ also means if the same part that was serviced fails again within the duration of the Service Agreement, you will not be charged a new Service Fee.

What is the timing of service?Under normal circumstances, Our service effort will be initiated within 48 hours. However, it will be up to You and the Service Contractor to work together to establish a time that the Service Contractor can come to Your home. You may request that We or the Service Contractor expedite efforts to address a failure. If We determine that there is an emergency circumstance, then We will make commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the Service. For non-emergency circumstances, the Service Contractor may charge You an additional fee to expedite the Service, but We can not guarantee expedited Service from a Service Contractor.

What is an emergency?An emergency request is generally defined as a Failure of a covered item resulting in: 1) no electricity, gas, water or toilet facilities to the entire home; 2) a system malfunction that causes ongoing damage to the home; or 3) a condition that immediately endangers health and safety. With emergency requests that are eligible for coverage, We will attempt to initiate Service within 24 hours.

What is eligible for coverage? In order to receive the Service, a Covered Item must be located at Your Home and installed within, or attached to the perimeter of the main foundation of the principal residence and any attached garage; and the Item must be in good and safe working order (that is, the Item is able to safely perform its primary function without irregularity, smoke, odor, hazards, unusual noises or other adverse or unintended outcomes) as of the Effective Date. We have certain dollar limits, requirements, limitations and exclusions specified in this Service Agreement, some are general and others are specifically stated in relation to particular systems and appliances. Please review the entire Service Agreement to see what items are included in the coverage You selected and any limitations or exclusions that apply to the coverage. If an item is not specifically included in the plan You selected, it is not eligible for Our Service, regardless of where it is located.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Provider/Obligor. The provider/obligor (“2-10 Home Buyers Warranty”, “2-10 HBW”, “We”, “Us” and “Our”) for this limited home systems and appliances service agreement (“Service Agreement” or “Agreement”) is Home Buyers Warranty Corporation VI, if Your Home is in Florida, and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty of Virginia, Inc., if Your Home is in Virginia. This Agreement is among Us and the person(s) listed as Homeowner(s) (“You” and “Your”) on Page 1 of this Agreement and is solely for the property stated on Page 1 of this Agreement under the heading Homeowner Property (the “Home”).

2. Coverage Period. Coverage begins on the Effective Date stated on Page 1 of this document and continues for 12 months (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term (and each Renewal Term) this Agreement will renew, at Our sole discretion, for a 12-month term (each a “Renewal Term”). The Initial Term together with each Renewal Term is the full duration of this Agreement (the “Term”). If eligible for renewal, We will notify You of Our prevailing rates and terms.

3. Covered Systems & Appliances. The only systems and appliances (each an “Item”) eligible for Service are those Items that meet all eligibility criteria stated in this Agreement and are specifically listed as covered in Your selected plan (each a “Covered Item”).

4. Our Coverage Obligations. When We determine, at Our sole discretion, that a Covered Item failed on or after the Effective Date and that such failure was solely due to normal wear and tear (a “Failure”), We agree to have such Covered Item repaired or replaced, at Our sole discretion, so the Covered Item may continue to perform its primary function (the “Service”).

5. When You Can Use Your Contractor. When no Service Contractor is available in Your area, We will ask You to select a licensed and insured contractor (“Your Contractor”) to work with Us. Your Contractor must contact Us with a detailed diagnosis and estimate to obtain an authorization number and conditions from Us before performing any work. We will not provide any reimbursement to You or Your Contractor until We receive proof the Failure was properly addressed within the scope of Our authorization. You are solely responsible for every cost arising from any work, services or equipment Your Contractor (or any other independent contractor, company or individual) performs or provides without Our prior express authorization, even for Covered Items otherwise eligible for Service. You may, upon advance notice to Us and subject to the requirements of this Section and Agreement as a whole, elect to use Your Contractor even if a Service Contractor is available in Your area; however, We will only provide payment to Your Contractor in an amount equivalent to what We would have paid (as determined in Our sole discretion) for parts and labor for a Service Contractor to complete the Service and You will be solely responsible for any and all excess costs of Your Contractor.

6. Cash Payments. We may provide You a cash payment ( “Cash Payment”) in response to a Failure. For example, We may elect to make a Cash Payment when We determine that the: (a) cost to address the Failure exceeds an applicable Dollar Limit; (b) repairing or replacing the Covered Item would not comply with laws, regulations or code requirements; (c) the Covered Item is subject to a manufacturer’s recall for a defect unrelated to the Failure; or (d) a part, item, material or chemical (each a “Component”) needed to repair the Failure is not readily available to Us or in the ordinary course of business. The amount of a Cash Payment will be the lesser of the following amounts: (i) the lowest amount a consumer in Your area would pay to have a contractor remedy the Failure; (ii) the amount We would have paid for

Component(s) and labor if a Service Contractor could have repaired the Failure; (iii) the amount We would pay for equipment and labor to have a Service Contractor replace the Covered Item; or (iv) the Dollar Limit applicable to the Covered Item less the Service Fee and the cost We incurred to diagnose the Failure. A Cash Payment may be subject to certain restrictions by Us, and/or applicable state laws and regulations. Once You accept a Cash Payment, We are no longer responsible, in any manner, for addressing the related Failure and/or Covered Item.

7. Certain Fees & Costs You Are Responsible For. You agree to pay the Service Fee(s) stated on Page 1 of this Agreement when a Service Contractor visits Your Home to diagnose a reported Failure. Addressing a Failure may involve certain services, parts and/or systems, equipment or appliances outside the coverage in this Agreement, or that are specifically excluded or limited under this Agreement (the “Excluded Work”). You are responsible for all expenses related to Excluded Work (the “Non-Covered Costs”). You are responsible for paying the Service Contractor or Your Contractor directly for all Non-Covered Costs. However, We or the Service Contractor will notify You of any Non-Covered Costs and obtain Your acceptance of those Non-Covered Costs before Service is completed. If You fail or refuse to pay a Service Fee or the Non-Covered Costs, You agree that We have no obligation to perform Service. If You pay a Service Fee, but We later determine and notify You that the Item is not eligible for Service, We will refund such Service Fee upon Your request. We will not refund the Service Fee if You do not receive Service because You refuse to pay the Non-Covered Costs.

8. Your Additional Responsibilities. Unless specifically stated otherwise in reference to Your selected coverage(s), You are responsible for the following: (a) All costs related to obtaining, addressing and correcting every permit or other matters related to any applicable codes, ordinances, laws and/or regulations necessary for, or applicable to, addressing a Failure. We will not perform Service until You obtain all required permits or approvals from governing authorities. (b) All costs related to providing or closing access to Covered Items. However, if a Service Contractor determines it is necessary to open holes in the walls, floors or ceilings in Your Home to address a Failure, We will pay the Service Contractor to close each such hole and restore the surfaces to a rough finish, which may include using patch, tape, sheet rock mud and/or sand, and does not include any cosmetic repairs or finishes. Our obligation to the pay the Service Contractor remains subject to every applicable Dollar Limit. (c) Cleaning and/or maintaining Covered Items as specified by the Item manufacturer. We are not responsible for the repair of any cosmetic defects, smells, noises or for the cost of cleaning any parts or equipment. If We determine a Failure is caused in part by a failure to properly clean or maintain a Covered Item, that Covered Item is not eligible for Service. (d) Providing a safe working environment for Service Contractors, including for example, removing and/or remediating any hazardous materials a Service Contractor may encounter in Your Home, and any expenses related to disposing anything that contains hazardous materials (for example, condensing units, capacitors, compressors, evaporator coils, refrigerators and water heaters). We have no obligation to, and will not, authorize a Service Contractor to perform any work at Your Home if there is any risk they may be exposed to environmental contamination. (e) All costs related to correcting, repairing or replacing a Covered Item and/or Components because of inadequate capacity, manufacturer’s recall, improper design, improper installation, previous repair or problems caused by alterations or modifications. (f) All costs related to Items that must be removed or installed by a Service Contractor to address a Failure in a Covered Item. (g) All costs related to construction,

9. Requirements, Limitations, Restrictions & Qualifications. (a) To be eligible for Service, Your Home must be an owned or rented non-mobile habitable residential structure. Examples of mobile structures ineligible for Service are recreational vehicles, fifth wheels, motor homes and tiny homes. Commercial properties or residences being used for business purposes (for example: bed and breakfasts, care centers, group homes, fraternity/sorority houses, hair salons, churches and schools) are also ineligible for Service. (b) Shared Items in a multi-unit building are eligible for Service if each unit has a separate agreement with Us with identical coverage purchased. Otherwise, if the service request is for a dwelling unit within a multi-unit building, only Items specific to the covered dwelling unit will be eligible for Service. Common grounds and facilities are excluded and not eligible for Service. (c) We solely determine whether a Covered Item and/or any of its Components will be repaired or replaced or if a Cash Payment will be made. When We elect to replace a Covered Item, or any of its Components, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to find a replacement Item or Component (a “Replacement”) that can perform the primary function, capacity and efficiency of the Covered Item or Component being replaced. Unless specifically stated otherwise, We have no obligation to provide a Replacement that matches the dimensions or brand of the Covered Item or Component being replaced or that matches or replaces any feature of a Covered Item unrelated to its primary function, for example, any convenience functionality, cosmetic detail or Wi-Fi capability. We have no obligation to upgrade Covered Items or Components because of: (i) the incompatibility of any existing systems or appliances with the Replacement; (ii) any type of chemical or material needed by the Replacement to perform its primary function, for example differences in technology, refrigeration requirements or efficiency; or (iii) mandates by federal, state or local governments. (d) We support the utilization of environmentally friendly alternative refrigerants to HCFCs, commonly used as refrigerants in air conditioners. A Service Contractor may use alternative refrigerants when repairing or replacing Items that use HCFC refrigerants (particularly Items using R-22). The Service Contractor will select an alternative refrigerant based upon its ability to approximate the HCFC refrigerant being replaced, its availability, application and any applicable regional criteria. (e) Any coverage We provide shall be secondary and excess to any other coverage provided by any insurance or manufacturer’s warranty available to You, whether primary, pro-rata or excess and whether or not collected. (f) You agree to and hereby waive any right or recovery of claims by anyone claiming through You, by way of subrogation or otherwise, including any insurers. For example, You agree that any insurer of Your Home cannot assert a claim or otherwise seek to recover from Us on Your behalf any damages arising from or related to a Failure or the Service.

10. Excluded Liabilities & Obligations; Liability Limits. (a) We are not responsible or liable for any delay in or failure to perform Service as a result of conditions beyond Our control and/or that of a Service Contractor, for example: shortages or delays in obtaining parts or equipment; weather; labor difficulties, strikes or

Any disputes concerning the interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including without limitation, its revocability or voidability for any cause, the scope of arbitral issues and any defense based upon waiver, estoppel or laches shall be decided by the arbitrator.
