FAQs

Customer Benefits and Coverage

What are the key benefits for my customers?

How does the ADI Protection Plan compare to similar plans from other providers in terms of coverage and cost?

The ADI Protection Plan Plan offers industry leading coverages, terms and conditions, and pricing.

This is a Date of Purchase Plan so coverage will begin upon delivery and installation of your display. The ADI Protection Plan will immediately cover any issues a manufacturer’s warranty won’t cover as well as extend the coverage of your display past the expiration of a manufacturer’s warranty.

Do I need to wait for my manufacturers warranty to expire to submit a claim?

If a breakdown happens during the manufacturers warranty, the manufacturer should handle. If the breakdown is not covered by the manufacturer, the ADI Protection Plan covers it. Once the manufacturer warranty expires, the protection plan extends the coverage of your display.
