We will provide you with a new or refurbished device of like kind and quality with comparable features and functionality to the original
Device (“Replacement Device”) in the following circumstances:

1. Device Failure
   In the event that the Device suffers a mechanical malfunction
   or defect that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty,
   or physical or liquid damage.
2. Mobile Application Malfunction
   In the event that your Device is not recovered after a loss or
   theft using our the properly installed and enabled location
   tracking mobile application Pocket Geek® that we provide to
   you as part of this Plan.

This Plan is only available in the Province of Ontario.

 

What is covered?

Covered Devices are the eligible cell phones or smartphones described on your original Sales Order Form and any additional Devices added to the Plan within the coverage period, purchased new in Canada and activated on a Canadian wireless carrier network, and to which our Pocket Geek application has been installed and enabled, or its replacement under this Plan.
