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." Craig Hansen HP Labs
