When does the Extend Protection Plan go into effect?Updated 7 months ago

Accident protection plans work a little differently than standard extended warranties. Your accident protection through Extend begins as soon as your purchase Extend and lasts for the full term of the plan you selected. The coverage from defects in workmanship and/or materials, including normal wear and tear, starts after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. 
 
Here's an example: Let's say that on January 1, 2021 you purchased a product with a one-year manufacturer's warranty along with a two-year accident protection plan from Extend. Extend would cover you for accidental damage from day one through January 1, 2023 (two total years). Your manufacturer's warranty would cover your product for manufacturing defects through January 1, 2022 (the first year), and then your Extend protection plan would protect you from defects in workmanship and/or materials after your manufacturer warranty expires through January 1, 2023 (the second year).
