Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include a product warranty program that can be offered to cover damage to products that deteriorate through improper consumer use. The product warranty program comprises one or more product monitors and a product warranty agreement. The product monitors provide for convenient product monitoring to help ensure and facilitate that product's proper use, thereby protecting the user from product failure caused at least in part by excessive wear and/or the improper use. Moreover, the product warranty agreement warrants, among other things, that when the product monitors are properly used, the consumer is protected from, for example, repair and/or replacement costs of the product.
