Quick Links
1. When does coverage begin? |
Coverage for SquareTrade standard plans begins on the day you purchased the plan. During the Manufacturer's warranty (typically 90 days to one year after item purchase), SquareTrade will refer you to the manufacturer for service if the issue with your item is covered by their warranty. If there is an issue that is not covered by the manufacturer during the warranty period but is included in your SquareTrade plan, SquareTrade will cover it. Coverage for SquareTrade accidental damage plans is the same as a SquareTrade Standard Protection Plan (above), with the addition of accident protection which is covered by SquareTrade from the day you purchased your plan.

4. What is Accident Protection? |
Accident Protection, or Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH), covers your laptop from any accidents from normal use starting on day 1. Plans that include accident protection cover damage from accidents like drops and spills during the term of the protection plan. |

Your service contract will be emailed to you within 24 to 48 hours of your plan purchase. Please file the emailed details of your contract in a safe place for future reference. |
6. What does a SquareTrade plan cover? What does a SquareTrade plan not cover? |
SquareTrade Protection Plans covers all mechanical/electrical failures that happen during normal use, such as button failure, depleted (non-replaceable) batteries, and non-responsive charging ports or audio jacks. Plans that include accident protection also cover damage from accidents like drop and spills. If a protected item is damaged and we determine it can be repaired, we cover 100% of the cost of parts and labor. If your item is irreparable, we'll contact you to discuss options for replacing your item. Coverage lasts for the term of your plan or until the coverage amount of your plan (generally equal to item purchase price) is used up. Some of the things that are NOT covered by a SquareTrade plan include: • Damage from misuse, negligence, loss or theft • Consumable items such as light bulbs, fuses, and batteries (unless offered as a special/premium feature on select warranties) • Products intended for heavy commercial or industrial use Pre-existing conditions, dead-on-arrival (DOA) items, or issues that occur within any exclusionary period |
7. I just bought a new device. How many days do I have to protect it? |
You have up to 30 days from when you purchased the item to protect it with a SquareTrade Protection Plan. We will verify the purchase date when you submit your item receipt during the claim filing process. If you purchased an item that requires it to be delivered to you, you will instead have up to 30 days from the day you receive the item. We may ask you to verify the delivery date with a copy of your shipping receipt during the claim filing process. |
