The 1-Year MakerCare Preferred Protection Plan from MakerBot provides one year of coverage for their Replicator+ 3D Printer, with a 1-business day response time and coverage for unlimited qualifying incidents. If this warranty is not purchased, then your Replicator+ will be covered by MakerBot's limited six-month warranty. However, if you do opt to add this one year of protection, it will need to be bought within 60 days of the purchase date of your Replicator+ and is valid for one year from the purchase date of your Replicator+.
Please be aware that the maximum amount of additional coverage that can be purchased is three years. If you initially buy one year of coverage and want to extend it, this can be done, but any additional coverage purchased after 60 days must be in the form of MakerBot's 1-Year Renewal. This one-year plan can be extended up to two times with the renewal, for up to three years of coverage. Also, if you purchase MakerCare coverage and it expires, you'll have up to 60 days after its expiration to renew it, should you desire.
