HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE AND SUPPORT
All claims for service must be reported as soon as reasonably possible. This Service Contract covers only those service events reported within ninety (90) days of the date of the Covered Device(s) failure.
We may subcontract or assign delivery for elements of Our obligations under this Service Contract to third parties, including the manufacturer, when applicable; however, this does not relieve Us of Our obligations under this Service Contract.
To arrange for service, visit Us at www. fastclaim.com/spectrummobile or contact Us at 1-877-875-4282. We will assist You to diagnose any technical difficulties that may exist with Your Covered Device. To the extent that Our diagnosis confirms a covered failure or damage, We will process Your claim and arrange for service.
We will use new or refurbished parts or replacements for any hardware benefit under this Service Contract that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
SERVICE OPTIONS
We will setup service with an authorized servicer / repair center determined by Us based on Your location, the Covered Device’s equipment type, and service purchased. Our repair options include:
1. If We determine that Your Covered Device requires in-home/on-site service, We will repair Your Covered Device at Your location where available. An adult (of legal age) must be present at the time of repair. Should We determine during the repair visit that We need to repair Your device elsewhere, We will transport Your device to and from our repair center.
2. If Your Covered Device qualifies for carry-in service, we either will setup a service event for the repair to be performed at an authorized repair center of Our choosing or arrange with You to take Your Covered Device for service and reimburse to you the cost for the repair (with applicable receipt) up to the Maximum Coverage Per Claim. You must contact Us to receive a repair authorization prior to service. You may be responsible for transporting Your device to/from the repair center and assume any corresponding cost.
3. If We determine that Your Covered Device is eligible for mail-in service, We will send You a prepaid shipping label (and, if needed, packaging material) for You to ship the Covered Device to an authorized repair center according to the instructions provided by Us. Once service is complete, We will return the Covered Device to You.
REPLACEMENT OPTIONS
Should We choose to replace Your failed or damaged Covered Device because either We are unable to repair it, the repair cost exceeds the current retail replacement value of Your Covered Device, or Your Service Contract is a device replacement only plan, We, at our option, will either:
1. Replace Your Covered Device with a new or refurbished, device that is equivalent to new in performance and reliability. While We will try to accommodate specific replacement preferences, this request is not guaranteed. The price of the replacement device will not exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim.
2. Issue a cash credit equal to the value of the replacement device, not to exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim. The cash credit, with Your authorization, will be deposited in Your account with the Seller to pay the balance due on the claimed device or may be used by You toward the purchase of any eligible replacement device of Your choice or used to upgrade to another device;
3. Provide a settlement equal to the value of the replacement device, not to exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim.
For advanced replacement, We may require a credit card authorization or other method as security for the retail price of the replacement device plus applicable shipping costs. We will ship a replacement device to You with setup instructions and directions to return the claimed device, when required. If You return the claimed device as instructed, We will cancel the credit card authorization. If You fail to return the claimed device as instructed or return a claimed device or part that is ineligible for service, We will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.
If You are not able to provide a credit card authorization when required, this service option may not be available to You and We will offer to You an alternative service option.
When You receive either the replacement device, cash credit, or settlement, the damaged/unrepairable device becomes Our property should We choose to take possession of the device at Our sole discretion.
You may be responsible to transport Your Covered Device to Us and assume any subsequent travel or shipping costs such as express or expedited shipping, or any reshipping expenses.
We reserve the right to change the method by which We provide repair or replacement service to You, and Your Covered Device’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service.
LIMITS OF LIABILITY
A Maximum Coverage Per Claim is the lesser of the replacement value of the Covered Device or the original Covered Device purchase price, less any applicable Service Fee, that applies to each device repair or replacement (“Maximum Coverage Per Claim”).
In addition, the following maximum limits apply:

1. If We determine that the Insured Product requires in-home/on-site service, We will repair the Insured Product at Your location where available. An adult (of legal age) must be present at the time of repair. Should We determine during the repair visit that We need to repair Your Insured Product elsewhere, We will transport it to and from Our repair center.
2. If the Insured Product qualifies for carry-in service, We either will setup a claim for the repair to be performed at an authorized repair center of Our choosing or arrange for You to take the Insured Product for service and reimburse to You the cost for the repair (with applicable receipt) up to the Maximum Coverage Per Claim. You must contact Us to receive a repair authorization prior to service. You may be responsible for transporting the Insured Product to/from the repair center and assume any corresponding cost.
3. If We determine that the Insured Product is eligible for mail-in service, We will send You a prepaid shipping label (and, if needed, packaging material) to ship the Insured Product to an authorized repair center according to the instructions provided by Us. Once service is complete, We will return the Insured Product to You.
REPLACEMENT OPTIONS
Should We choose to replace the failed or damaged Insured Product because either We are unable to repair it or the repair cost exceeds the current retail replacement value of Your Insured Product, We, at Our option, will either:
1. Replace the Insured Product with a new, refurbished, or recertified device that is of like kind and quality to the Insured Product. While We will try to accommodate specific replacement preferences, this request is not guaranteed. The price of the replacement device will not exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim;
2. Issue a cash credit equal to the value of the replacement device, not to exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim. The cash credit, with Your authorization, will be deposited in Your account with the Policyholder to pay the balance due on the claimed device or may be used by You toward the purchase of any eligible replacement device of Your choice or used to upgrade to another device; or
3. Provide a settlement equal to the value of the replacement device, not to exceed the Maximum Coverage Per Claim.
For advanced replacement, We may require a credit card authorization or other method as security for the retail price of the replacement device plus applicable shipping costs. We will ship a replacement device to You with setup instructions and directions to return the claimed device, when required. If You return the claimed device as instructed, We will cancel the credit card authorization. If You fail to return the claimed device as instructed or return a claimed device or part that is ineligible for coverage, We will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.
If You are not able to provide a credit card authorization when required, this advanced replacement option may not be available and We will offer to You an alternative service option.
When You receive either the replacement device, cash credit, or settlement, the damaged device becomes Our property should We choose to take possession at Our sole discretion.
You may be responsible for transporting Your claimed device to Us and assume any subsequent travel or shipping costs such as express or expedited shipping or any reshipping expenses.
We reserve the right to change the method by which We provide repair or replacement service to You as well as an Insured Product’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service.

Your participation in the Upgrade Program will be continuous until such a time as the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan is cancelled either by You or Spectrum Mobile, as outlined in Section 10.
5. How to Request Program Benefits.
You may request upgrade benefits in the manner Spectrum Mobile makes available to You, which are subject to change. These may include contacting an agent at: a) a participating Spectrum Mobile location; b) Spectrum Mobile at 1-833-224-6603; or c) online via the Spectrum Mobile website at spectrummobile.com. After the upgrade process is initiated, You must turn in Your Eligible Device through an approved channel described in Section 6 to receive Credit.
6. Upgrade and Evaluation Process.
To upgrade Your Eligible Device under the Upgrade Program, You must surrender the Eligible Device and its battery to The Signal via one of the available channels, which may include In-Store, Self-Certify or any other channel identified by Spectrum Mobile from time to time. If In-Store or Self-Certify options are available, You must surrender the Eligible Device as follows:
In-Store: If You conduct Your Spectrum Mobile upgrade at a participating Spectrum Mobile store and an authorized Spectrum Mobile representative determines that Your Eligible Device is in Good Working Order, You will turn over Your Eligible Device to Spectrum Mobile. The Signal will then remit Your Credit equal to the Quote to Spectrum Mobile to be applied in accordance with the Application of Credit section of these Terms and Conditions.
If the Spectrum Mobile representative reasonably determines that the Eligible Device is not in Good Working Order, You may file a claim for a replacement device under the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan. If Your claim for a replacement device is approved and You have paid the applicable deductible, You may use the replacement device as Your Eligible Device for Your Upgrade Program benefit. The replacement device’s IMEI will be updated on Your EIP Agreement. If You file a claim that is approved and completed under the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan and begin the upgrade process using Your replacement device, the claim will count towards the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan’s benefit limits.
Self-Certify: If You upgrade at a participating Spectrum Mobile Store and decide to wait to turn in Your Eligible Device, or process Your request for upgrade over the phone or online, You must ship Your Eligible Device to The Signal to be received within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the upgrade transaction acceptance per the directions provided to You or You may be subject to an unrecovered equipment fee.

In Our sole discretion, in lieu of a credit applied by Spectrum Mobile, The Signal may issue You a check for the amount of the Credit.
If You ship a Device that matches the IMEI on Your EIP Agreement directly to The Signal for an upgrade benefit under the Upgrade Program, but The Signal finds that it is not in Good Working Order, the Device will not be considered an Eligible Device. We will contact You and assist You with filing a claim for a replacement device under the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan. If Your claim for a replacement device is approved and You have paid the applicable deductible, You may use the replacement device as the Eligible Device for Your Upgrade Program benefit.
Ineligible Devices: If You ship a Device to The Signal and the IMEI does not match the one identified on Your EIP or, at The Signal’s discretion, any replacement devices provided by Spectrum Mobile or the manufacturer, the Device will not be considered an Eligible Device, shipping such a Device to The Signal will not entitle You to any upgrade benefits, and THE DEVICE WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO YOU. Your shipment of such a Device to The Signal constitutes Your agreement to process Your Device under Spectrum Mobile’s Trade-in Program terms and conditions. Please see the Trade-in Program terms and conditions at https://spectrum.cs.assurantdevice.com/terms for details.

8. Applicability.
This agreement is supplemental to, and separate from, any other agreements You may have with Spectrum Mobile including, but not limited to, its wireless Services Agreement, Spectrum Mobile Terms and Conditions, and the EIP (collectively the “Spectrum Mobile Agreements”). To the extent that these Terms and Conditions conflict with any other provision of any other terms and conditions of the Spectrum Mobile Agreements, the provision(s) in the Spectrum Mobile Agreements shall apply.
9. Transferability and Availability.

10. Cancellation.
The Upgrade Program is a program included in the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan and may not be canceled without cancellation of the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan. Please see the Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan terms and conditions at fastclaim.com/spectrummobile for details.
If You or Spectrum Mobile cancel Your enrollment in Spectrum Mobile Protection Plan for any reason, You are no longer eligible for benefits or coverage under the Upgrade Program for the Eligible Device and may not re-enroll the same Eligible Device at a later date.
The Signal reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions or to cancel the Upgrade Program in its entirety at any time, at Our sole discretion. If We materially change the Upgrade Program or these Terms and Conditions in a manner that is materially adverse to You, We will provide You with at least 30 days’ written notice of the effective date of the change. In the event the Upgrade Program is cancelled in its entirety by The Signal and You are currently eligible for an upgrade, You may receive one benefit under the Upgrade Program prior to the effective date of the cancellation. Cancellation will be effective even if You do not use the upgrade benefit.
11. Waiver of Liability.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SIGNAL OR SPECTRUM MOBILE OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES arising out of, from, or related to the participation by You in the Upgrade Program regardless of the form of action (including, but not limited to, negligence) and regardless as to whether The Signal or Spectrum Mobile has been advised of the possibility of any such loss or damage.

You agree to indemnify and hold The Signal and Spectrum Mobile and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from any claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third parties due to, connected to, or arising out of, the breach of this agreement, any acts or omissions, or violation of any law or the rights of any third party by You.

All arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) in effect at the time the claim is filed. Unless You and We otherwise agree, the arbitration will take place in the county and state where You live. We will advance to You either all or part of the fees of the AAA and of the arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., will govern and no state, local or other arbitration law will apply. IF ANY PORTION OF THIS PROVISION IS DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, IT SHALL NOT INVALIDATE THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE PROVISION, EXCEPT THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS PROVISION BE AMENDED OR CONSTRUED TO PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATION ON BEHALF OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN YOU. You agree that any arbitration proceeding will only consider Your claims. Claims by or on behalf of other individuals will not be arbitrated in any proceeding that is considering Your claims. YOU AND WE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BECAUSE OF THIS PROVISION, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED ABOVE, TO GO TO COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS ANY MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM. California Residents Only – Notwithstanding any other terms of the Provision, which otherwise fully apply, Claims seeking statutorily authorized injunctive relief that, if granted, would have the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public may be arbitrated.

17. Waiver; Severability.
The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of these Terms and Conditions will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render these Terms and Conditions unenforceable or invalid as a whole and in such event, such provisions will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.
