Your Device is protected by the manufacturer’s warranty within the first year after Your Device is purchased and this Plan extends the mechanical malfunction or defect coverage for an additional year. From the time of Plan purchase and for the full term of the Plan, Your Device is covered for physical malfunction or liquid resistance failure in accordance with the section entitled "Description of the Plan".

We are not responsible and have no obligations to You for any issues with Your Device arising from an event that occurs before You purchase the Plan or after the Plan ends, whether by cancellation or expiry.


Description of the Plan

This Plan is supplementary to the manufacturer’s warranty and does not replace the manufacturer’s warranty or warranty obligations. Parts and services covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and the warranty obligations under the manufacturer’s warranty, including battery replacements, are the responsibility of the manufacturer only. This Plan provides additional protection which the manufacturer may not provide. Please refer to the terms and conditions of the manufacturer’s warranty for more details.

In the event Your Device suffers a mechanical malfunction or defect, including battery failure, that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, or Your Device suffers physical malfunction or liquid resistance failure that renders it inoperable, We will repair Your Device and return it to normal operating conditions. At Our sole option, We may choose to replace Your Device rather than repair it.

All services provided under this Plan, including repair services, are offered in Canada only.

If Device failure is due to physical malfunction or liquid resistance failure, this Plan provides a maximum of two (2) service requests every 12 months immediately following the Device Purchase Date to a maximum of four (4) service requests throughout the lifetime of the Plan. There are no limits for service requests due to mechanical malfunction or defects, provided they are not protected by the manufacturer’s warranty.

If We replace Your Device, Your Device will be replaced with a refurbished Samsung device of like kind and quality and with comparable features and functionality, but not necessarily of the same colour, and not to exceed the current value of Your Device as determined by Us. Standard accessories included with Your Device in the original manufacturer's packaging will only be replaced when incompatible with the replacement device. All parts and Devices that have been replaced by a replacement part or device become Our property. Protection under this Plan will be extended to the replacement device for the duration of time remaining under this Plan. The replacement device will become the protected Device. Any repair covered under this Plan may only be performed by a Samsung authorized service center.
