KEY QUESTIONS

How do I make a claim?
If an incident occurs at your property, which is covered by your policy, please call the claims number and we will arrange for the incident to be dealt with in accordance with the terms and conditions of your Service Cover Plan.

 

Claims must be made by you or a person calling on your behalf. Please call us as soon as you are aware of the incident. We will not be able to cover the costs of any work carried out by persons not authorised by us in advance.

 

Please have your Service Cover Plan number ready when you call. The engineer may also ask to see your Service Cover Plan documentation when he/she arrives at your property.

 

If you have a ‘with excess’ Service Cover Plan, you will have to pay the amount details on your policy each time you make a claim. We will then cover the cost of the rest of the claim up to the applicable claims limit. Excess payment(s) will be taken when you call to make a claim. We can only accept payment using the following cards: Mastercard, Visa or Visa Delta. An excess payment is required for each new unrelated claim (i.e. not arising directly from the same incident). Your excess payment(s) will be refunded if for whatever reason the claim is cancelled prior to the engineer attending or, where after initial inspection, the incident is not covered by your Service Cover Plan.

 

HOW LONG IS MY POLICY FOR?
Your policy will continue for the period of 12 months, unless it is cancelled by you or us before then. You have certain rights to cancel your policy, and these are set out below. Our cancellation rights are also set out below.

 

HOW CAN I CANCEL MY POLICY?

Please note your right to cancel within 14 days as described below and refer to the refund and cancellation policy.

 

Even though the contract is legally binding from the date on which you agree to take out a service plan, we will not provide any services under the contract before the start date (the start date is set out in the covering letter enclosing these terms).

 

Your service plan entitles you to one annual service visit and emergency call outs. You can only request a call out (other than a planned service visit) in an event of a breakdown or event of an emergency.


You may cancel your Service Cover Plan at any time and choose an appropriate cancellation date. Depending on when you cancel and whether you have made an claim or received any non covered service(s), any refund of premium paid to you, or premium owed by you may be calculated as follows:

Outside your cancellation period:
• If you have not made a claim, you will receive a refund less an amount for the number of days you have been on cover.
• If you have made a claim, you will not receive a refund and must pay any remaining insurance premium due for the term of the policy.
