    Your experience is a good reminder to all to be informed prior to signing on the dotted line. Even when dealing with very trustworthy individuals/companies, circumstances can change in the future and you don't want to end up on the wrong end of the plank.

    Last year I considered an extended warranry on a new PC (emergency purchase, no time for a white box) but quickly dismissed the idea after a careful reading of the T&Cs of the agreement. I was amazed to see that they could refund the premium if (in their sole discretion) the repair was not cost effective. Yikes ! No point in that kind of insurance.
