Parts and labour will be covered. Windows and Apple Mac computers have 36 months manufacturers' warranty. Please note that iPad products have 12 months warranty. Samsung tablet packages include 24 months warranty. Smart TV packages include 36 month warranty. RAN SU CE IN Tablet worldwide accidental damage and theft insurance with no excess 36 As the hire agreement is for 36 months, and the tablet packages are such portable devices, likely to be taken away MONTHS from the home, it makes sense to protect them for the full length of the agreement.
