Default Service plans for electronics

Inherent product defect sounds like it means the tv was built bad, and
in that case, it should be covered.


It does indeed sound like they won't cover design faults. Why they would
specifically outline this though, is a mystery (no-one else does it).

My guess is the normal part of their work is to cover huge quantities of a
particular make and model of TV, and they were bitten with design faults in
the past.

So, if you're going to buy this set, make sure it doesn't have any design
faults. And that's going to be impossible to determine unless you happen to
be in the industry, know the history of the design, what changes were made,
and had at least some knowledge of how the initial production line went.

In other words, don't buy it- or at least don't buy that service plan (if
you have a choice). There should be plenty of others. Or at least the
warranty to keep your wallet safe for the shorter term.

Unless you ARE talking about the factory warranty? If you are, stay well away.
