Have you read the guarantee? If the puppy dies within one year from a genetic condition, they will give you a "replacement" puppy. If your puppy dies from a genetic condition after that, they will reimburse you 45% of the purchase price.
They will not reimburse you for any vet bills so if your puppy has a treatable genetic condition like a liver shunt, you will have to cover the cost of the surgery yourself. Ditto with Legg-Perthes, etc. Since most pet insurance won't cover genetic conditions, you can't count on that to cover treatment, either.
You also have to keep your Yorkie on NuVet supplements for life (and save all the receipts as proof) or the guarantee is void.
