Does the seller of the service contract need to register?
No, the service contract provider who is the person, company or entity that is contractually obligated to the service contract purchaser under terms of the contract is required to register. For instance a retailer may sell a consumer a service contract in which another party, such as the manufacturer of the product, is obligated to pay any claims made against the contract. In that instance the product manufacturer is required to register.
No, only the Service Contract Provider is required to register. For instance a retailer may sell a consumer a service contract in which another party, such as the manufacturer of the product, is obligated to pay any claims made against the contract. In that instance, the product manufacturer is required to register as a Service Contract Provider. While sellers are not required to register with the Department, the seller is required to comply with the same marketing and sales requirements as the registered provider for which the seller works.
