LA Violin Shop Protection Plan
PROTECTION PLAN:
Los Angeles Violin Shop (LAVS) will maintain the covered instrument, bow, and/or case in excellent playing
condition. LAVS will repair or replace with items of comparable make, quality, and condition, the covered instrument, bow, and/or case in the event of accidental damage, fire, or theft, according to the Terms and Conditions stated on this page and as referenced by invoice for the purchase of this Protection Plan. All covered charges will be paid by the Protection Plan.
Eligible for Protection Plan coverage are instruments, bows, and/or cases rented from LAVS. Accessory items are not eligible for inclusion in the Protection Plan. If the Protection Plan is not purchased at the same time as the instrument rental, repairs at the expense of the renter may be required before the instrument is eligible for full coverage under the Protection Plan. Damage sustained and unrepaired prior to the purchase of the Protection Plan, will not be covered by the Protection Plan. Instruments, bows, and/or cases used in performance for pay are not eligible for coverage under the Protection Plan. The Protection Plan is available only to the original renters from LAVS and cannot be transferred nor may any fees paid be refunded.
The Customer, at his/her expense, is responsible to present instrument bow, and/or case to LAVS, at its regular business location(s), in person or by common carrier, for repair or replacement as required. Los Angeles Violin Shop may also provide other pickup and delivery services for the convenience of its customers.
Suspension of the Protection Plan will occur if Rental Customers are more than 15 days past due. Reinstatement will be effective upon receipt of all delinquent charges, including additional Finance and/or Late Charges as provided in the customer’s contract. Loss or accidental damage during a time of suspension will not be covered and repair or replacement costs at the usual and customary rates will be the responsibility of the customer.
LAVS’s Liability shall, in no event, exceed the lesser of restoration to playing condition or replacement. LAVS will be the sole judge of the applicability of the terms and conditions of the Protection Plan. The selection of repair or maintenance method or the selection of a replacement instrument, bow, and/or case is solely at the discretion of LAVS. Terms and Conditions of the Protection Plan do not express or imply a cash settlement. LAVS reserves the right to cancel protection if the customer is determined to be negligent or intentionally abusive. LAVS also reserves the right to pursue any legal means of recourse to protect its ownership or security interest, if applicable, in the instrument, bow, and/or case.
LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE:
Exclusions from maintenance and replacement protection are cosmetic damage that does not impede the tone or playability of the instrument, and loss due to negligence, mysterious disappearance, damage from repair by unauthorized persons, arson, vandalism, intentional abuse. This Protection plan excludes damage to items caused by mishandling by third party baggage or shipping personnel. Any repairs necessary to fix damage caused by third party baggage or shipping personnel will be the responsibility of the plan participant.
LAVS Protection Plan does not cover mysterious disappearances from the school band or orchestra room or lockers.
Proof of Loss is required for loss by theft or fire. In the event of theft, the customer must contact the appropriate law enforcement agency within 30 days of the theft and provide us with a copy of the official report. In the event of fire, the remains of the instrument, bow, and/or case must be presented. In all events, theft, fire, or accidental damage, the customer must provide a signed, detailed statement describing the circumstances in which the loss occurred.
