Finding Out Your Warranty Information Your warranty — whether it's three, five, or 10 years and 36,000, 50,000, or 100,000 miles — begins on the day you take delivery from the dealer. This day will be prominently noted in your sales paperwork and possibly any service paperwork you receive from your dealer.

Identify the types of products and services to be covered Gather information from your sales team, customer service team, and other departments about the products and services you offer. Make a list of all products and services you offer and decide which ones you want to include in the warranty program.

Warranty Start Date means in the case of the spare parts, the date of delivery and in the case of equipment, the earlier of the date on which you confirm acceptance of the equipment in writing or your first use of the equipment in the normal course of your business.

Warranties usually start on purchase date, not delivery date.

The standard one-year Apple warranty starts when you purchase a product from them. This is also the invoice date. You can buy the AppleCare+ warranty within 60 days after the purchase date to extend the guarantee to two or three years, depending on the product.

For example, many warranties for common household items only cover the product for up to one year from the date of purchase. Generally, they are covered only if the product has problems due to defective parts or workmanship. As a result of these limited manufacturer warranties, many vendors offer extended warranties.

Although it's not required to fill out a card or register your warranty to be eligible for coverage in the future, many companies offer the option to register your product with them online to streamline the claim filing process in the future.
