I would warn you to read the "service contract" very carefully.
They have an amazing array of exceptions under which they will not pay;
common exceptions are gasket failure, additional failures caused by
failure of covered parts.  You must also be sure to retain all
records of scheduled maintenance services, and could possibly
get into problems if you perform the maintenance yourself.
Don't make the mistake of assuming that a service contract is
some sort of "extended warrantee."
