EFFECTIVE September 2021.

GENERAL TERMS OF COVERAGE

SERVICE TERRITORY

Service is limited to Premier Comfort Service Company’ current territory.

We reserve the right to refuse service based on location.

SEPARATE CONTRACTS FOR EACH UNIT

If there is more than one natural gas furnace or boiler, electric central air conditioner or water heater in the residence, a separate residential service contract must be purchased for each unit you want covered.

If there is more than one of the same appliance and only one contract for that appliance type, the contract will apply to the equipment servicing the first floor or main living area.

EFFECTIVE DATE

Your initial coverage officially takes effect on the day of written commitment with Premier Comfort Service Company. The contract will end one year from the effective date. Premier Comfort Service Company will notify you in writing of your effective date. Contracts will renew automatically at the end of each one-year period.

CANCELLATIONS

You may cancel your service contracts at any time for any reason. To cancel, please notify Customer Services at 877-466-3657.

Refunds will only be given if you cancel within the first 30 days of coverage and you have not had a service call. If you cancel after 30 days, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. If you choose the monthly payment option and decide to cancel before the end of the term, you

will be billed for the balance of the yearly contract cost.

TERMINATION

Premier Comfort Service Company may terminate your service contracts with no refund in the event any one of the following occurs:

Parts are no longer available from the original manufacturer, and there are no reasonably available alternate or interchangeable parts

Removal of a defective part or the installation of a replacement part by someone other than an Premier Comfort Service Company employee results in damage to the appliance

Removal of a piece of equipment by someone other than an Premier Comfort Service Company employee results in a safety hazard or an unsafe condition

Equipment is not used for its designed purpose

Failure by owner to properly maintain equipment or to replace any parts necessary to maintain the equipment in good condition, including cleaning or changing filters

Repair costs would be greater than the original value of the equipment

Service will not be provided and contracts can be cancelled if customer’s account is not in good standing

Premier Comfort Service Company shall have the right to terminate this service contract on 10 calendar days’ written notice if you materially breach or fail to perform any of your material obligations or responsibilities hereunder.

CONDITIONS OF COVERAGE

Premier Comfort Service Company strives to render prompt, efficient and courteous service. Our response time will be determined by scheduling appointments that consider public safety, existing workloads, the nature of the service call and weather conditions.

Work must be performed by Premier Comfort Service Company technicians. You will not receive credit or reimbursement for work performed, or parts installed, by other service providers under any circumstances.

All parts under warranty replaced by an Premier Comfort Service Company technician become the property of Premier Comfort Service Company without any allowance or rebate at the discretion of Premier Comfort Service Company. If Premier Comfort Service Company chooses not to take possession of the parts, it becomes the customer’s responsibility to dispose of them properly.

Premier Comfort Service Company reserves the right to use universal parts to repair your equipment.

Customers must supply safe and ready access to all covered equipment including but not limited

to, adequate attic flooring and proper lighting and entry. Premier Comfort Service Company is not responsible for damage to attic ladders as a result of normal use. For safety reasons, your appliance will not be serviced if it is surrounded by standing water or it is located outside and weather conditions make service unsafe.

If in the process of repairing a covered part, noncovered parts are needed to complete the repair, the customer will be charged for the cost

of the noncovered parts and our standard labor rate.

If a customer has exclusively either: (1) a heating service contract or (2) air conditioning service contract; and a part of their heating and air conditioning system is repaired or replaced while not in use under the contract in force (e.g., a part that requires replacement while being used for

air conditioning by a customer with only a heating contract) the customer will be liable for the cost of the part repair or replacement, but Premier Comfort Service Company will cover the standard labor rate for the service call.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF ALL EQUIPMENT

All covered equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute; be installed in accordance with local, state and federal codes; and satisfy both the manufacturer’s and Premier Comfort Service Company’ requirements for

safe and proper installation.

Before accepting any equipment for coverage under the service contracts, Premier Comfort Service Company reserves the right to make an on-site inspection of the equipment.

To be eligible for coverage under the service contracts, equipment must be warranted by the owner to be in good operating condition, duly assembled and capable of functioning on the service contract’s effective date.

Premier Comfort Service Company reserves the right to deny or cancel coverage for certain equipment due to the non-availability

of parts (including refrigerant), inaccessibility, and the condition of the equipment or worksite, damage by a third party or the age of the equipment.

  CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Coverage is not transferable to another address. If you move, call Customer Services at 877-466-3657 to cover the appliances in your new home.

However, if a contract was paid in full for equipment that remains in operation at the premises, the unexpired term of coverage will be applied to the new owner/occupant of the premises at no additional charge. If a contract has not been paid in full, you will be billed for the remaining payments.

If you are selling your home, notify your realtor and closing agent. You may be able to recover costs.

If you choose the monthly payment option and decide to cancel before the end of the term, you will be billed for the remaining payments.

RENEWAL

For your convenience and to ensure that your home is continuously covered, contracts will renew automatically at the end of each one-year period. Premier Comfort Service Company reserves the right to change the terms and conditions at any time and to change the contract price upon contract renewal.

CHOICE OF PAYMENT OPTIONS

If you are a residential customer of NJNG, you may pay for coverage in full or make equal payments over a 6- or 12-month period. If you choose to pay on a monthly basis, the charge will appear on your regular monthly NJNG bill. Service contract coverage is for a full 12-month period. If you choose the monthly payment option and decide to cancel before the end of the term, you will be billed for the remaining payments.

MISSED PAYMENTS

If payments are missed or late, Premier Comfort Service Company may demand immediate payment of the entire amount owed or immediate payment of costs (labor and parts) for all services provided, less any payments made to Premier Comfort Service Company.

Service will not be provided and contracts can be cancelled if a customer’s account is not in good standing.
