Q: What is the Planmeca Protection Program?

 

A: The Planmeca Protection Program is a flexible solution that allows busy practitioners the freedom to focus on caring for their patients knowing they have the support to keep their investments operating at peak performance. Support options range from our Basic Protection Program to our comprehensive Ultimate Protection Program that covers all their Planmeca software and equipment. We even have an option for our legacy products. 


Q: What is covered by the Planmeca Protection Program?

A: Depending on the customer’s choice of programs, it can vary from phone only, phone and software, or phone, software, and hardware coverage. One preventative maintenance appointment yearly is included in the Plus One Mill and Ultimate option. Consumables and normal wear and tear items (burs, collets, splash guards, etc.) are not covered by this program. The laptop is not part of the Protection Program and remains at a 2-year warranty.


Q: When will my credit card be charged for the monthly Planmeca Protection Program?

A: Once you sign up for the program, your card will automatically be charged on the 15th of every month. Please note, you will not receive a product from Planmeca each month.


Q: What if I decline the Protection Program?

A: You will receive a standard one-year warranty on parts and any software updates or upgrades during the warranty period. Labor is not included. After one year, all parts, labor costs, support calls, and software updates or software upgrades will be your responsibility.


Q: Can I change or cancel my Protection Program option?
