Upon purchase and registration of a GS-24 Desktop Vinyl Cutter, and subsequent purchase of a GS-24 Roland Care Premium Service Contract, customers can extend their three-year trouble free warranty for an additional two years, through Roland DGA Corporation.

Contract Renewals
All service contracts are to be purchased during the standard manufacturer’s warranty period. Machines that fall out of warranty will require re-certification prior to the contract renewal.

Service Contract Agreements can be purchased for a maximum up to two years commencing from the end date of the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
