is it a 'waranty against break'

Can you tell me how to write the three sentences?
1In a store next to my house, when I buy a video game, they ask me if I want to have it warantied against breaking for 1 euro.
2If I pay 1 euro, and I break the game or scratch it to the point of not working, they will give me a new one.
3I bought the 1 euro warranty against break.

Thanks

What else would it be warrantied against? I don't think "warranty against breakage" is necessary detail.

Perhaps not, but is is a legitimate noun phrase.
Most warranties only cover manufacturing defects; few cover breakage by abusive consumers!

When I was about 12, I received a warranty just like this when I bought an indigo Game Boy Advance SP from EBGames. Eventually, it did get broken somehow, and the store, true to its word, replaced it with a brand-new platinum one! Ah, memories…
