A new Georgia law is changing how HVAC warranties work, giving homeowners and future buyers stronger protections and fewer surprises when costly repairs are needed.
Ram recently announced plans to extend its 10-year/100,000-mile truck powertrain warranty through the 2026 model year. The industry’s best truck warranty was set to expire on Jan. 2, 2026.
With new innovative services and products comes a certain degree of uncertainty about whether the company making the promise can truly fulfill its commitments. Everyone can relate to companies offering incredible guarantees or warranties that are now out of business, or those making service promises that don’t deliver.
The correct term depends on what you’re looking to accomplish. Navigating the different insurance policy terms can be confusing, as their meanings and applications often overlap. The fundamental foundation is the Contractual Liability Insurance Policy (CLIP) for all the variations.
Businesses offering Limited Warranties or Service Guarantees frequently encounter the question, “What backs this warranty or guarantee?”
This question is critical to clients seeking peace of mind that something supports the warranty or guarantee beyond the company’s promise. In some cases, clients will not do business with a company that doesn’t have adequate backing for its promise or guarantee.
Service Contracts, Limited Warranty, and Specialty Insurance and Service Programs
The site includes example uses for Service Contracts, Limited Warranties, Specialty Programs, and Service Programs, as well as example CLIP structures, profit participation options, and an example rate builder.
A CLIP is a great way to address regulatory and compliance requirements for Service Contracts. OEMs also use CLIPs to transfer risk off their balance sheets for their limited warranty programs. In addition, CLIPs are often an effective method to support service-oriented programs, including certain travel, event, and waiver programs.
OEMs are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate their products from competitors, including offering longer warranties.
Using embedded insurance to transfer a portion of a Limited Warranty is a perfect solution, and the OEM can obtain the coverage directly from a carrier without outsourcing administration or file processing and incurring the associated costs.
