      After trying to make a claim with my purchased warranty. I was denied over what seems to be a misinterpretation or misguided decision. A retaining prop shaft bolt on my atv has broken and needs to be fixed. The service contract covers all retainers. See pictures. I was denied because they consider this as hardware which they do not cover. Considering that this specific part has the word retainer in it I was shocked to hear they would not cover it. I think the decision on their behalf was wrong and need to fill be fixed

      RE: ServiceGuard Systems, Inc. – Mr. ****** *****
      Complaint ID ********


      Dear Mr. *******:


      This letter is in response to the Better Business Bureau's ("BBB") complaint received
      from Mr. ****** ***** ("Mr. *****") against ServiceGuard Systems, Inc. (“SSI”), which has
      been assigned Complaint ID ********.


      The complaint has been referred to SSI’s Legal Department and after review of the
      communications and file, below are the relevant facts.


      On or about October 10, 2020, Mr. ***** purchased an Xtremegard Service Contract,
      Contract No. ******** (the “Service Contract”), for his Can-Am Outlander All-Terrain Vehicle
      (the “ATV”). The Service Contract contained comprehensive coverage, which specified that
      certain components of the ATV are covered by the Service Contract, except for the items listed
      on the “What is Not Covered” section (located on pages 7 – 9 of the Service Contract, and
      attached hereto for reference). In the “What is Not Covered” section, and relevant to the claim
      asserted by Mr. *****, is that the following are specifically excluded from coverage:
      1) “. . . parts including, but not limited to, . . . washers, nuts, bolts, studs, fasteners, and
      fittings.” (Service Contract at page 8, paragraph 12)
      2) “. . . Failure caused by the loosening of any component.” (Service Contract at page 7,
      paragraph 7)
      On or around December 8, 2022, Atlantic City Cycle Center (the “Dealership”) contacted
      SSI to report a claim under Mr. *****’s Service Contract (the “Claim”). The Dealership
      explained to SSI that a bolt securing the transmission had come loose on Mr. *****’s ATV and
      caused damage to the driveshaft. After conversation with the Dealership, reviewing the Claim
      and the applicable Service Contract language, SSI denied the Claim because of the exclusions to
      coverage listed above.


      Mr. ***** subsequently inquired about a certain brochure he found that he claimed
      indicated that “retainers” were to be covered under the Service Contract. As such, he claimed
      that the bolt that came loose on his ATV was known as a retaining bolt and, thus, should be
      covered. SSI informed Mr. ***** that the literature he referred to was not applicable to the
      specific Service Contract (comprehensive coverage) he purchased and that the terms of his
      specific Service Contract govern his Claim. As such, Mr. ***** was made aware that there was
      no coverage of retainers in his contract; bolts were not covered; and that failures and damage
      caused by components coming loose were not covered under his specific Service Contract.
      With this said, given the nature of SSI’s business and its desire to leave customers with a
      positive experience, SSI is willing to offer Mr. ***** a refund of the full purchase price of his
      Service Contract in the amount of $914.00 to be paid directly to Mr. ***** or his lienholder if
      applicable, which will result in SSI flat canceling Mr. *****’s contract. If Mr. *****s accepts
      this offer, SSI will require Mr. ***** to sign a general release.


      If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. SSI sincerely
      hopes that this letter and the offer presented fully and completely satisfies Mr. *****’s


      Complaint.
      Sincerely yours,
      /s/ ****** ** *****
      ****** ** *****, Esq.
      Enclosure
