Terms of Purchase
The day you ordered marks the beginning of your free trial membership and your ability to access Our Services. The length of your free trial is the one offered to you at the time of purchase, and the MEMBERSHIP FEE (which includes applicable sales tax) is the amount you agreed to pay at the time of purchase. You may have been offered, and agreed to purchase, a membership plan that did not include a free trial.
At the time of purchase you may have agreed to and been charged one or more separate one time fees such as an activation fee, enrollment or processing fee, shipping and handling, or trial period fee, as applicable.
At the time you ordered you may have been offered a continuity or a fixed term membership. If you ordered a continuity membership the MEMBERSHIP FEE is for Our Services during the period stated to you at the time of purchase and is not refundable. After the free trial, and every month thereafter until you cancel, your MEMBERSHIP FEE, or its monthly equivalent, will be automatically billed to your credit card (or debited from your checking account, if you authorized that option). You can call us at 1-800-211-0000 to cancel your continuity membership at any point and have no further obligation. Cancellations must be done by telephone.
If you used a credit card you may be subject to a preauthorization at the time you order. The preauthorization is not a charge to the credit card. However, the then applicable monthly subscription charge may be reserved against your available credit card limit. Contact your credit card issuing financial institution for details.
If you ordered a fixed term membership the one time MEMBERSHIP FEE is for Our Services during the entire term of the membership, and will be automatically billed to your credit card (or debited from your checking account, if you authorized that option) after the free trial.

Extended Warranty Terms & Conditions
DEFINITIONS:
Membership – means the person listed as the primary member on a current Pricestore.com account, whereby the member is beyond the free trial period and monthly usage dues have been paid in full.
COVERAGE DESCRIPTION:
Extended Warranty covers most new products purchased in the United States of America found entirely with the Pricestore.com Member’s Bargain Network Account that come with an original manufacturer’s written warranty of two years or less. For qualified purchases, Extended Warranty doubles the warranty time period and duplicates the coverage of the original manufacturer’s written warranty for up to a maximum of one additional year. If the original manufacturer’s written warranty is for more than two years, no coverage will apply. The Extended Warranty coverage begins the day after the original manufacturer’s written warranty expires. The coverage is automatic for new items purchased in the United States of America, including new purchases made on-line, unless otherwise excluded, if the Member pays the entire purchase price using his or her Bargain Network Account to located the product, and said member is an active paying Bargain Network Member of Pricestore.com. Purchases need not be registered.
Coverage is excess of any other applicable insurance or indemnity. If the Member has any other insurance that would cover the eligible purchases, Extended Warranty will pay the amount not covered by the Pricestore.com Member’s primary insurance up to the amount the Member paid for the item subject to the limits listed below. In no event will this coverage apply as contributing insurance. This "non-contribution" clause will take precedence over the "non-contribution" clauses found in other insurance or indemnity language.
Most new items of personal property the Member buys in the United States of America with his or her Bargain Network Account are covered against product failure after the original manufacturer’s written warranty expires for up to a maximum of one year. Coverage is limited to the cost of the item as recorded on the sales receipt up to $2,000 per item and a total of $5,000 per membership, per year.
Valid claims will be satisfied either by repairing, rebuilding or replacing the item with an item of like kind and quality or by reimbursing the Member in an amount not to exceed the total purchase price of the item found with his or her Bargain Network Account (excluding delivery and transportation costs), subject to the coverage limits listed above. In the event of a loss, We will be liable for the lesser of the following amounts: a) the amount of the covered purchase (excluding delivery and transportation costs), subject to the coverage limits listed above; or b) the actual cost to repair or rebuild the covered purchase or replace the covered purchase with an item of like kind and quality, subject to the coverage limits listed above.
The Member must have authorization from the warranty claim office before having the product repaired or replaced. Failure to notify the warranty claim office prior to having repairs done or replacing the item may result in denial of the claim. Diagnostic and teardown costs will be the responsibility of the Member if the product failure is not covered under the terms of the original manufacturer’s warranty.
Failure to promptly notify the warranty claim office, to promptly and fully complete and submit the claim and to follow all of the claim procedures and instructions will result in the denial of the Pricestore.com Member’s claim. Please see “How To File An Extended Warranty Claim” below for information about the claim process.

* Itemized store receipt for the purchase of the item.
* Copy of the original manufacturer’s written warranty.
* Copy of the repair estimate.
- The Member must file his or her claim within 90 days from the date of the occurrence. This means the claim form and all required documentation must be postmarked within 90 days from the date of the occurrence, or we will not be able to honor the claim.
- Please keep the item until the claim has been finalized. The claim adjuster may request that the Member send the item to the warranty claim office at the Pricestore.com Member’s expense.
- For eligible claims, the claim adjuster will decide whether to have the item repaired, rebuilt or replaced with an item of like kind and quality or to reimburse the Member up to the amount paid for the item (excluding delivery and transportation costs), subject to the coverage limits listed above.
- It is a condition of this coverage that the Member, as often as may be reasonably required by Us, will submit, and within the Pricestore.com Member’s power cause others to submit, to examinations under oath and will produce for examination all writings, books of account, bills, invoices and vouchers, or certified copies thereof, at such reasonable time and place as we may designate and will permit extracts and copies thereof to be made.

Failure of the Member to send the goods to the warranty claim office at the Pricestore.com Member’s expense upon request will result in coverage being voided for the loss.
- If payment is made under Extended Warranty, We are entitled to recover such amounts from other parties or persons. Any party or person to or for whom We make payment must transfer to Us his or her rights to recovery against any other party or person. Should this occur, the Member must give Us all assistance as We may reasonably require to secure Our rights and remedies, including the execution of all documents necessary to enable Us to bring suit in the Pricestore.com Member’s name. The Member must do everything necessary to secure these rights and must do nothing that would jeopardize them, or these rights will be recovered from the Member.
- All benefits payable will be paid to the Member, or in the case of death, to the Pricestore.com Member’s estate. No person or entity other than the Member shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim for insurance proceeds and/or damages under or arising out of this coverage.
- Bargain Network dba Pricestore.com or the Insurer can cancel or choose not to renew this coverage for all Members. If this happens, Pricestore.com will notify the Member at least 60 days in advance of the expiration of the Insurance. Such notices need not be given if substantially similar replacement coverage takes effect without interruption and is provided by the same Insurer. Insurance benefits will still apply to claims that occurred prior to the date of such cancellation or non-renewal, provided all other terms and conditions of Coverage are met.
- Misrepresentation and Fraud: Coverage as to a Member shall be void if, whether before or after a loss, the Member has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning this Coverage or the subject thereof, or the interest of the Member therein, or if the Member commits fraud or false swearing in connection with any of the foregoing.
This Terms & Conditions contains all agreements between the Member and Us and replaces any prior oral or written communications on that subject. No agent may alter this Terms & Conditions.
