In some outlying areas of the UK (excluding the Isle of Wight) the extra distances involved mean that we’ll service your product as quickly as possible but our standard delivery and collection promises will not apply. Whatever Happens™ Care Plan and Instant Replacement™ are subject to availability. We may choose not to offer these on some products. For full terms and conditions please see your printed validation document.

Your household insurance
Your insurance may provide you with some protection but:

You may not be protected for breakdown caused by mishaps or mechanical breakdown

• Portable products may not be protected
• Your annual premium may increase after your claim
• You may have to pay an excess

 

Replacement Product

If we are unable to repair your product within 7 days for Whatever Happens™ Premier and 21 days for Whatever Happens™, you may request a replacement product. 7/21 day maximum repair time starts from the date of the engineer’s first visit. The replacement will usually be in the form of vouchers to enable you to purchase a product of equivalent specification. Occasionally you may receive a fully reconditioned product.

If you have originally purchased a product labelled as ‘previously owned’ or ‘non-pristine’ our 7 day and 21 day promises do not apply and you will receive vouchers to the value of the original price paid.

If you have bought Whatever Happens™ for 3 or 5 years and your product is replaced, your service agreement ends. We will send you vouchers for the remaining value to use when you next purchase a Whatever Happens™ agreement. If you pay monthly, your agreement will end.

If Currys, Currys Digital, PC World, Black or Dixons Travel ceased trading, would my product still be protected?
Yes. Our promise is to protect our customers’ product support agreements. There is an independently managed trust fund to meet all our obligations to our customers who have purchased a term agreement.

What are my legal rights?
The contents of this leaflet do not affect your legal rights, which include the right to a remedy for defective goods. If you buy goods which are faulty when sold, you have the right to claim for a repair, replacement or refund for up to 6 years (5 years in Scotland) from the date of purchase.

Your Care Plan does not affect your legal rights, which include the right to a remedy for defective goods. If you buy goods which are faulty when sold you have the right to claim for a repair or replacement for up to 6 years (5 in Scotland) from the date of purchase. However, after the first 6 months you have to show that the fault was there from the start and the longer it takes for the fault to show up the more difficult that becomes. Whatever Happens™ gives you benefits which are in addition to your legal rights and your product will be repaired free of charge if it breaks down or malfunctions at any time while your Care Plan is current without you having to prove that the fault was present at time of sale. Further information about your legal rights can be obtained from your local Trading Standards Department or the Citizens Advice Bureau.

Your service agreement will be cancelled in the event of any fraud, or attempted fraud and you will not be entitled to a refund.
