SERVICE PLAN
St. Mary’s School will provide coverage for one Chromebook repair in the event of accidental damage.
- The service plan does NOT provide coverage for the loss of a Chromebook and/or its accessories, cosmetic damage, or damages caused by intentional misuse and abuse.
Replacement of Chromebook is at the discretion of the principal. Students will be responsible for the full cost of replacement ($250.00) if it is determined that damage has been caused by intentional abuse and/or misuse.
Claim history on damage will ultimately determine whether additional fees are necessary beyond the original $25 fee.
Should damage occur to the Chromebook assigned to a student due to intentional damage, the family will be solely responsible for reimbursing the school for repair or replacement costs.
Students who do not purchase the service plan and have caused damage from intentional abuse and/or misuse will be charged for the repair.
This service plan is available for student purchased or school purchased Chromebooks.
