This is a home service contract, not insurance. It provides repair and replacement coverage for covered systems and appliances that fail from normal wear and tear, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limits in your agreement. It does not cover sudden events, catastrophic damage, or liability. For those risks, maintain adequate homeowners insurance.
