Lease Purchase Agreements Rent-A-Center Business, Acima, and Mexico Rentals and Fees. Rental merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to rental purchase agreements, which provide for weekly, semi-monthly or monthly rental terms with non-refundable rental payments. At the expiration of each rental term, customers may renew the rental agreement for the next rental term. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title of the merchandise either through a purchase option or through payment of all required rental terms. Customers can terminate the rental agreement at the end of any rental term without penalty. Therefore, rental transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payments received at our Rent-A-Center Business, Acima (excluding virtual) and Mexico locations must be prepaid in advance of the next rental term. Under the virtual business model, revenues may be earned prior to the rental payment due date, in which case revenue is accrued prior to receipt of the rental payment, net of estimated returns and uncollectible renewal payments. Under both models, rental revenue is recognized over the rental term. See Note 4 for additional information regarding accrued rental revenue. Cash received for rental payments, including fees, prior to the period in which it should be recognized, is deferred and recognized according to the rental term. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $58.3 million and $45.8 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to our rental purchase agreements.

We also offer additional product plans along with our rental agreements which provide customers with liability protection against significant damage or loss of a product, and club membership benefits, including various discount programs and product service and replacement benefits in the event merchandise is damaged or lost, and payment insurance in the event eligible customers become unemployed. Customers renew product plans in conjunction with their rental term renewals, and can cancel the plans at any time. Revenue for product plans is recognized over the term of the plan. Costs incurred related to product plans are primarily recognized in cost of sales. Revenue from contracts with customers Rent-A-Center Business, Acima, and Mexico Merchandise Sales.

The cost of merchandise sold through installment agreements is recognized in cost of sales at the time of the transaction.

Payments received for extended service plans are deferred and recognized, net of related costs, when the installment payment plan is complete and the service plan goes into effect. Customers can cancel extended service plans at any time during the installment agreement period and receive a refund for payments previously made towards the plan. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $2.9 million and $3.1 million in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to extended service plans. Other.
