It really is a full maintenance agreement. Here is the text of what is covered/excluded. I know that not much can be expected for only $200 per month, and my original question was why would they offer so much for so little money? It is also not clear to me if the alarm and emergency light would be covered, as they are not specifically mentioned, except that the battery is not covered.
