JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (June 20, 2002) - Service Net LLC has signed an agreement with MicronPC, LLC to offer extended warranty contracts on third-party computer peripherals for MicronPC customers.
MicronPC customers will have the option of purchasing an extended service contract from Jeffersonville-based Service Net. Service Net will market and administer service contracts for printers, monitors, scanners, PDAs and other computer-peripheral products sold by MicronPC. Service Net is an affiliate of the Kemper Insurance Companies. Kemper will provide insurance backing for the service contracts.
Prior to contracting with Service Net, MicronPC did not offer extended-service contract coverage for such products beyond the original manufacturer`s warranty. "We`re pleased to be able to provide a new value-added feature to support MicronPC`s product line," said Kevin Callahan, president of Service Net. "With MicronPC, we`ve added yet another of the nation`s top computer-related companies under the Service Net umbrella."
MicronPC - based in Nampa, Idaho - manufactures and markets award-winning computers and related products to government and small- and medium-business customers. With Service Net, MicronPC customers can opt for an extended service contract that covers all peripherals for up to three years beyond the original manufacturer`s warranty. The fully insured and transferable Service Net service contract benefits include 24-hour/7-day customer telephone support and on-site service, where available. Additionally, Service Net will manage claims processing, service dispatch and a nationwide network of qualified technicians to perform needed service.
MicronPC joins CDW, MicroWarehouse, PC Connection, PC Mall, Zones, and Office Depot as some of the nation`s largest technology products resellers to have contracted with Service Net to provide warranty and service administration.
