SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 11, 2013) - SquareTrade®, the #1-rated protection plan trusted by millions of happy customers, today announced the SquareTrade Promise, the industry's first bill of rights for customers. Addressing the need for transparency and accountability in the extended warranty industry, the SquareTrade Promise sets a new industry standard for what consumers should expect when they purchase a protection plan for their electronics.
"In the extended warranty industry, consumers have traditionally had little insight into the claims process and have been frustrated by loopholes, fine print, long delays and poor customer service," commented Ty Shay, CMO at SquareTrade. "The SquareTrade Promise sets a new bar for what customers should expect from a protection plan and continues our obsessive focus on customer service, which is the foundation on which SquareTrade is built."
