I bought my gadget from an auction site, can I insure it?
Absolutely, but you must have proof of payment and that the vendor is a VAT registered entity, and bought it as new. In other words, the receipt from the store you bought it from must include a VAT number and proof of its IMEI number if you're insuring a gadget with airtime capability. One other thing, the gadget must also be under 12 months of age at the time of application.
Do I need proof of purchase or a receipt?
In a word, yes. You will need these if you wish to make a successful claim. You can always send this to us at the start of your policy so we don't have to ask for it if you need to make a claim. Be smart and send it now to
[email protected] using your policy number in the subject of the email.
Can I insure someone else's gadget?
Well, you must own the gadget that you insure; however your immediate family over the age of 16 who reside with you can use the gadget and be covered.
