service contract

Repair coverage plan

A service contract is an agreement to provide maintenance, repairs, or support for a product or system over a specified period.

Often purchased alongside appliances, vehicles, or electronics, these contracts extend protection beyond manufacturer warranties: The dealership offered a five-year service contract on the car.

In employment contexts, a service contract binds someone to work for a set term.
