By purchasing this Plan, You expressly agree that You have had the opportunity to read these Terms and Conditions and that You accept these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions and the confirmation letterYou will receive containing the description of Your eligible device(s) for which this Plan was purchased (“Confirmation Letter”), constitute the entire agreement between You and Us. No oral or written representations, warranties or conditions, and no amendment or modification of these Terms and Conditions will be binding on You or on Us, except as otherwise required by law.
What Device Is Protected by this Plan?
Your device protected by the Plan is the Samsung cell phone or smart phone You purchased new in Canada (“Device”), as specified on the Confirmation Letter.
Only the Device for which this Plan was purchased as indicated on the Confirmation Letter is eligible for protection under the Plan. You cannot transfer the Plan to another person or business, or to another Device.
When Can You Purchase the Plan?
You can purchase the Plan only at the time You purchase Your Device or within 30 days of Your Device purchase date.
If you do not purchase the Plan at the same time as You purchase Your Device but purchase the Plan within the 30 days following Your Device purchase date, a 25-day waiting period will apply before You can request services under the Plan.
When Does Plan Protection Begin and End?
Your protection begins on the date You purchase the Plan, as indicated in the Confirmation Letter, and continues for 24 months, unless this Plan is cancelled in accordance with the section entitled “Can this Plan be Cancelled?”.
Your Device is protected by the manufacturer’s warranty in the first year after Device purchase 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 or liquid damage in accordance with the section entitled “Description of Our 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 Our Plan
This Plan complements and is supplementary to the manufacturer’s warranty, but does not replace the manufacturer’s warranty or
warranty obligations during the manufacturer’s warranty period. 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 certain 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 during the term of such warranty, or Your Device suffers physical or liquid damage 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.
If Device failure is due to physical or liquid damage, this Plan provides a maximum of two (2) 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 cell phone or smart phone 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.
Plan Purchase Price
The Plan purchase price is $170.00, plus applicable taxes, and is payable when You purchase the Plan.

It is Your responsibility to remove Your SIM and Memory Card, and any accessories, if possible, and to delete all personal or sensitive data from the Device before You ship it. It is Your responsibility to back up the contents of Your Device. We will not be responsible for the loss of any programs, data, or other information stored on Your Device or any media (For Quebec only: The foregoing is not intended to liberate Us from the consequences of Our own acts or the acts of Our representatives.)
