2 Program Overview Zurich provides administration and insurance backing for a dealer limited warranty (certification) program. Administration services are provided by Universal Underwriters Service Corporation (UUSC) and backed by an insurance policy issued by Universal Underwriters Insurance Company, individual member companies of Zurich in North America. In California and New York, UUSC operates under its DBA, UUSC Service Company. In Florida, the administrator is Vehicle Dealer Solutions, Inc. Limited warranties must be provided to the customer at no charge. Limited warranty plans are non-cancelable and may not be transferred or assigned. The customer does have the option to purchase a Zurich vehicle service contract to extend coverage. See the Vehicle Service Contract Dealer Guide for details. The program allows you to distinguish your inventory from competitors by certifying your vehicles and providing a limited warranty to your customers. There are various plan options to help you effectively market your vehicles. Short Term warranties help you meet state or federal regulations. Long Term and Lifetime warranties provide individualized coverage for niche markets and are not intended to meet state or federal regulations. Short Term Limited Warranties All certified vehicles with a short term warranty must pass a 110-point inspection process. The warranty ensures that if a covered part fails during the warranty period, you will pay to repair or replace the covered part. Compliance with the Federal Trade Commission Used Car Rule is required. This includes the placing of a Limited Warranty Buyer s Guide window label on all used cars offered for retail sale. Buyer s guides are available from the Federal Trade Commission ( and many state dealer associations. Zurich can provide a buyer s guide template that lists the systems covered by the short term limited warranty. In states with specific warranty legislation the term, coverage and deductible of the warranty must meet or exceed the state requirements.
