that is not the manufacturer’s service contract. It is notresponsible for any service contract other than the manufac-
turer’s service contract. If you purchased a service contract
that is not a manufacturer’s service contract, and you require
service after the manufacturer’s New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty expires, please refer to the contract documents, and
contact the person listed in those documents.
We appreciate that you have made a major investment
