Announcement posted by Switched on Media 15 Sep 2010

03 September 2010 – For a limited time, customers looking to rent a new HDTV at Dick Smith can enjoy a complimentary two year extended warranty, plus delivery and installation of their unit when they choose to rent their new equipment on “SmartPay” from RentSmart.

"We're pleased to be offering Dick Smith customers a better way to pay for their HDTV with SmartPay," said Milko Radotic, Executive General Manager of RentSmart.

"SmartPay lets customers upgrade their current home entertainment systems to the latest technology, including 3D TVs, with affordable monthly payments while enjoying the peace of mind of a two year extended warranty and the convenience of inclusive delivery and installation.”

The bonus two year extended warranty is currently being offered to all Dick Smith customers who take out a SmartPay rental contract that includes a HDTV and is valued at over $1500. Their contracts will also include delivery and installation by Dick Smith's Mobile Techxperts - so it's completely hassle-free.

“When customers choose a SmartPay rental for a three year term, their HD TV will be covered under warranty throughout the entire rental period with the two year extension to the existing manufacturer’s warranty,” said Radotic.

"They will also have the option to keep the technology at the end of the agreement by making just one additional monthly payment.*"

Customers can take advantage of the bonus two year extended warranty and installation when they choose to rent HDTVs by signing up for a SmartPay rental contract at Dick Smith retailer before 30 November 2010.

RentSmart lets you get the latest technology - easily

Customers who rent laptops, computers, smart phones and other electronic items can take advantage of RentSmart's free inclusions such as:

- Online data back up

- Online data transfer

- Free loaner laptop should a laptop rental become lost or stolen

"Renting is a great option for customers that are looking to stay up to date with the latest technology as they can choose to upgrade their equipment at the end of the term," added Radotic. Customers will also be able to avoid the high upfront capital costs that are associated with purchasing technology when they choose to rent instead.
