II. BASIS FOR COVERAGE

techcare agrees to provide coverage to repair or replace the items listed as covered on the Agreement Coverage Summary if any such items become inoperable during the term of this Agreement due to mechanical or electrical failure caused by routine wear and tear. "Mechanical or electrical failure" occurs when a covered item becomes inoperable and unable to perform its designed function, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein.The covered item will be deemed to have been in "proper operating condition" on the Agreement effective date if it was correctly located within the home, was properly installed, was fully connected, was capable of successfully performing all operations commensurate with the manufacturer's original design intention, and did not pose any hazard to life or property. Determination of the operating condition as of Agreement effective date, and the nature of any failure, will be made solely by techcare, considering but not limited to techcare inspection visit. A visual inspection of the covered item is considered to mean the viewing of an item to verify that it appears structurally intact and without any damage or missing parts that would indicate inoperability.
