What does the basic Care Plan cover?
The SquareTrade Care Plan covers all normal-use mechanical and electrical failures your new or used item experiences for the duration of its term, until its coverage amount (your item purchase price) is used up.
A few common examples include:
- hard drive failures
- disk drive failures
- sticking keypads
- screen failures
- broken charger inputs
- iPod battery failures
- camera shutter failures
If the administrator determines that your item can be repaired, the Care Plan will cover all parts and labor cost, up to the full price you paid for the item. Electronics under $300 generally are not repairable for less the item price and for these items we will pay you the cost of your item so that you can go out and buy a replacement.
The basic Care Plan does NOT cover the following:
- DOA items or items breaking in the first 60 days
- Accidental damage (unless you’ve purchased ADH)
- Damage from misuse, loss, or theft
- Accessories, attachments, and additional parts
- Consumable items (bulbs, fuses, replaceable batteries)
- Pre-existing conditions
- Commercial-use items
