    14. Maintenance Minutes: An additional benefit to UPKEEP Upscale clients is fifteen (15) Maintenance Minutes per quarterly visit. During a maintenance visit, the client can arrange for the technician to do some other items around their house that are not covered by the warranty including labor only, no materials. If the maintenance minutes are not used this quarter, they will roll over to the next quarter, and the client can accumulate more time. Maintenance Minutes are only accrued by quarterly visits. If a visit is skipped or not scheduled for any reason, no Maintenance Minutes are accrued for that quarter. Some examples include, but are not limited to, changing a high light bulb or smoke detector battery, adjusting doors, adjusting cabinet doors, installing a new doorknob, hanging pictures and other assorted odds and ends. They cannot be used for any repair or claim on something that is already covered by the warranty. Maintenance Minutes are valid only during an active contract.
    15. Vanishing Deductible: As part of our Upscale Coverage, we offer a Vanishing Deductible. Your deductible for the first contract year will be $125.00 as stated previously. In subsequent but continuous contract years, your deductible will be reduced as follows: In the second contract year, the deductible will be reduced to $100.00. In the third contract year, the deductible will be reduced to $75.00. In the fourth contract year, the deductible will be reduced to $50.00. In the fifth contract year, the deductible will be reduced to $25.00. In the sixth year and every continuous contract year thereafter, there will be no deductible required when you make a claim.
