Common use of FOOD LOSS Clause in Contracts

FOOD LOSS. To receive coverage for food loss resulting from the failure of the covered refrigerator or freezer, (excluding wine coolers, ice-makers, and wine cellars) the failure of Your refrigerator or freezer must be due to a defect in the components of the appliance such as a mechanical or electrical failure, and not a power failure of any kind such as power surge. You will be reimbursed up to two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) per qualifying event during the coverage period. To receive payment, the appliance must be repaired by an authorized service provider and the following must be submitted: a copy of the repair invoice, an itemized list of perishable food lost due to the lack of refrigeration, and proof of purchase of the replaced food as indicated on the list of food lost prior to the repair of Your Covered Product. A list of lost food is required to be submitted to the Administrator within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial failure. The terms of food loss reimbursement are governed by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service guidelines and only covers items that are purchased in and require refrigeration. non-perishable items are not covered by this Agreement. Items listed on the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service guidelines do not automatically qualify for reimbursement; items lost must require refrigeration to be eligible for reimbursement.
