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.
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.

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.
