DO YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS COVER?
Please check! Sometimes banks, credit card services or other insurers may provide a Mobile Phone, Tablet or Laptop cover type policy providing similar cover to this one. Please check that you aren’t already covered before purchasing Mobile Phone, Tablet or Laptop cover and buying cover you may not require.
Your Policy Documents
For convenience, your Policy documents will be delivered to the email address you provide when applying for cover, once your application has been processed and accepted.

Cooling off period - "Peace of mind" with your purchase
If you decide to go ahead with your purchase today you will have 14 days from your date of application to review it. You can cancel at any stage during those 14 days. If any money has been paid it will be refunded to you. During this cooling off period we are unable to accept any claims on equipment that will be more than 6 months old at the policy’s inception date.
You may however submit a claim immediately if the equipment is less than 6 months old at the policy’s inception date. In the event of a successful claim however, you will then be bound by the cancellation terms and conditions. Please see your policy schedule to see if there is an additional waiting period before you can make a claim.
Cancellation
You can cancel your policy prior to any claims being made during the current policy period, without penalty providing no claims have been made. No further direct debits will be taken, where full premium has been paid , you will receive a pro-rata refund subject to no claims having been made.
If you want to cancel your policy and there has been a successful claim made against you policy then you will be liable for any remaining premiums and they will become due. No refund will be given.
Your duties
You will be unable to make claims if you do not keep up with your policy premiums or keep us informed of any changes that may effect this policy.
Has my policy got an excess and how do I pay?
Before making a claim you should check on your policy schedule to see how much the excess on your cover is. You will have to pay the first amount of any claim that is shown as the excess according to your schedule. This payment must be made at the time of claiming.
We can only accept payment using the following cards: MasterCard, Maestro, Visa or Visa Delta. A separate excess payment is required for each claim you make. Please see the policy terms and conditions for further details.
What happens after the first renewal?
One month before renewal we will send out renewal documents if there have been any changes to the terms of your cover such as premium increase, change of underwriter etc. We will highlight any large changes. To save you time and inconvenience the policy will automatically renew if we do not hear from you by the renewal date.
Please see Terms and Conditions for full cancellation information.
