The Equipment Insurance Savings Program provides insurance coverage for maintenance of your equipment. The service is performed by either the manufacturer or a qualified third party.
You have two options, 1) contacting the service provider directly, or 2) requesting the program administrator, The Remi Group, to contact the service provider on your behalf to arrange for service. The Remi Group does not perform any service.
