What's a Coolblue Backup Plan and how does it work?
Insured for the replacement value
With the Backup Plan, you'll be insured for the replacement value of your product. This means that you're insured up to amount of the product's value at the moment of the event. We don't depreciate products. This way, the product doesn't lose value.
A deductible part
Did something happen to the product that you bought at Coolblue? You'll pay a small deductible with the Backup Plan. This way, we can keep the premiums low. The amount depends on the cause.
- Damage: 10% of the purchase price
- Theft of mobile devices: 20% of the purchase value
Did you buy a Backup Plan for a white goods product, like a washing machine or fridge? You don't have to pay a deductible. For white goods products, you also don't have to pay call-out or research costs.
What's not insured?
The Backup Plan doesn't cover all damage. For example, you're not insured against dents, scratches, and other damages that don't affect the functioning of the product. Wear and errors you can solve by cleaning the products also aren't refunded. In addition, the Backup Plan doesn't cover indirect damage. That's damage the broken product causes. For example, your washing machine breaks and the water that it leaks damages your floor. You need a home insurance or content insurance for that. Check the Terms and Conditions for which damage isn't covered by the Backup Plan.
The difference with the standard warranty
The Backup Plan also covers the costs the aren't covered by the standard Coolblue warranty and legal warranty. In addition, you can extend the standard warranty by 2 years. This way, you have right to a replacement product or repairs if your product doesn't work like it should for longer. In addition, you're insured against fall, impact, and water damage, and by unintentional wrong use. And a Backup Plan Complete even insured you against theft.
When repairs aren't possible
Is your product damaged in such a way that repairs aren't possible anymore? Or do the repairs cost more than a new products? You'll receive the current price of the same or a similar product in Coolblue Credit. This amount is reduced by the amount of your deductible. Afterwards, you can pick a new product.
At least 18 years
