extended warranty
Purchased protection extension
An extended warranty is a service contract that provides coverage beyond the manufacturer's original warranty period.
Typically sold at the point of purchase for electronics, appliances, or vehicles, extended warranties cover repairs or replacements after the standard warranty expires.
They're often criticized as overpriced given the low failure rates of most products: The salesperson pushed hard on the extended warranty, but I passed.
