I'm not totally sure about this one. I think changing the increment might affect the speed of the progress bar, but I'm not 100% confident in my understanding. I'll need to re-read the code carefully before answering.

Okay, I've got a good feeling about this one. The term that describes whether a service will meet those requirements is definitely "Warranty". That's the option that makes the most sense to me.
