    • If the product fails three times for the same reason, on the fourth occurrence it will be replaced or refunded- regardless of the price!

  • You may be required to package and send your product, but remember…. We pay the shipping!
Why do I need "extra" protection if Lyons sells quality gear?
  • Lyons sells quality gear, and Platinum PLUS has little to do with "quality" failures!
    • It doesn't matter if you paid $10 or $10,000 for an item…
  • power surges can do significant damage
  • normal wear and tear always occurs
  • Even the absolute "best" manufacturers have repair facilities; this means their products experience failures or sub-standard performance.
My gear says it has a Lifetime Warranty! Why would I buy Platinum PLUS?
Read the warranty carefully… although some of the top manufacturers offer lifetime warranties, the coverage is limited. Usually there are numerous restrictions. Unfortunately those restrictions are where the problems usually occur! Example: Some guitar manufacturers offer a Lifetime Warranty, however the "lifetime" portion is on the neck. The electronics (pickups, pots, slides, switches) are only covered for one year!

 

Should I buy a One Year or Two Year plan?
  • Woodwind and Brasswind recommends The Two Year Plan when available. It offers significant savings!
    • The initial 10-35% savings is obvious
    • The 50-80% in renewal cost are less obvious!
  • All service plans are renewable, however the cost of renewing a one year plan for an additional year can be significantly greater than purchasing a Two-Year plan from the start!
