Prior to the Agreement Effective Date, you must submit to us documentation that a required repair or replacement of an item has been performed in order for that item to be a Covered Item under this Agreement.
D. Coverage under the Agreement is always subject to all Exclusions, Limitations and other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

G . For a Breakdown, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, EHW will repair or replace the Covered item. EHW has the sole right to determine, according to the terms of this Agreement, whether a Covered item will be repaired or replaced. When making repairs to a Covered Item, if original replacement parts are not reasonably available, EHW reserves the right to rebuild or repair existing parts or components and to install rebuilt parts or components. When replacing or repairing a Covered Item, EHW, when such are reasonably available, will pay to install replacement equipment and parts of similar features, capacity, and efficiency, and pay to provide replacement equipment, parts using the same or a similar make, model and color. EHW is not obligated to (i) match the brand or color of the equipment or parts which are replaced when such are not reasonably available; or (ii) match any feature of an existing item that does not contribute to the primary function of that item.
H. Under our cash payment policies and procedures regarding a Breakdown, EHW:
1. In instances when EHW offers a cash settlement in lieu of having us repair or replace the Covered Item, we will pay you the total amount we approved to repair or replace the Covered Item minus the cost incurred to diagnose the Breakdown.
2. In instances where the combined cost to diagnose and repair a Covered Item is estimated to be not cost-effective or not worth repairing due to the age of the item, we will not provide repair or replacement services. Instead, we will pay you the amount of the repair in lieu of replacement.
3. In instances where the combined cost to diagnose and repair or replace is estimated to exceed a stated Covered Item Maximum Coverage dollar limit, we will not provide repair or replacement services but we will instead pay an amount equal to the Covered Item Maximum Coverage dollar limit minus the cost incurred to diagnose the Breakdown.
4. In instances beyond our control that may prevent us from providing a repair or replacement of a Covered item, we may provide you cash in lieu of the repair or replacement services. The amount will be based on what a consumer without this Agreement would pay after negotiating the best price for such services in your area. These instances are when: (a) Following a repair or replacement regarding a Breakdown, an item or system would remain non-compliant with laws, regulations or code requirements; (b) An item has a covered Breakdown unrelated to a manufacturer's recall on that item; or (c) An item is not repairable and a replacement item is no longer being manufactured or not otherwise available.

5. In some instances, EHW may offer you a cash payment in lieu of receiving repair or replacement services. The amount we may offer will be based on what EHW would expect to pay (which is substantially less than the retail cost) for parts and labor for Covered Items, less the incurred cost of the Repair Technician's diagnosis. Such offers are only valid for 30 days from the time the offer is made. If you accept the offer, you are required to repair the item or provide a new replacement when necessary and submit acceptable proof of your actual itemized costs to EHW before any reimbursement will be paid. When cash is issued in lieu of repair in order to replace a Covered Item, unless the appliance or system is replaced with a brand new, unused, and/or non-refurbished/rebuilt item by the agreement holder, you may not make subsequent claims on such Covered Item.
I. EHW will not repair or replace any item for a Breakdown covered by a manufacturer, distributor, retailer, builder, contractor, Repair Technician, Copayment or an extended warranty.
