It's never nice when something breaks down or isn't working as it should, particularly if the manufacturer's guarantee has run out too. There is time and hassle finding a local technician who can fix the fault, and then you have to pay for the emergency callout, plus what if your product can't be repaired?
Our Product Breakdown or Replacement Plan is designed to repair or replace your item if it is accidentally damaged or breaks down and fails to operate as intended by the manufacturer. Breakdown is covered outside of the manufacturers guarantee period.
What is a Product Breakdown or Replacement plan?
We offer this plan on some of the powered items (for example electrical appliances) you order from us. It works a little differently depending on the original price of your item.
If you paid £200 or less for your item, the insurer will arrange an exact replacement or if it's not possible a product of the same kind and quality.
If you paid more than £200 for your item the insurer will pay for the repair but don't worry it doesn't finish here; if it can't be repaired you will be given an exact replacement or if not possible a product of the same kind and quality.
If no replacement can be found the insurer might decide to credit your account with the amount you paid for the item.
The plans are individually priced and you can see plan price on the product details page, so whether you are ordering a washing machine or a tablet, we have a plan to cover you. To find out more details about the insurer, what your plan covers and how to make a claim, see- About Your Product Replacement or Breakdown Plan
There are some circumstances where the product would not be covered, these include general wear and tear or theft/loss of item.
How can I get a plan?
If you are shopping online, we will tell you if cover is available on the product details page for the item you are ordering. Check you are happy with the price of the plan and the cover it offers before you select your preferred plan option. We will automatically add it to your account.
We will send you the cover details by email where possible or in the post. You should read these and keep them in a safe place. You can also read more about the plan in About Your Product Replacement or Breakdown Plan

What else do I need to know?
If you have purchased this plan it will only cover the product that you bought it for and will only apply once the manufacturer's guarantee has expired. Your claim will be assessed by the insurer to check if it's covered within the plan you have bought.
