Demands and Needs Statement

Insurance 2 Go does not offer advice or recommend insurance. You should decide before purchasing whether the terms of this insurance policy meet your demands and needs for mobile phone insurance.

If you can answer 'no' to all of the above, your demands and needs are those of a mobile phone owner who wishes and needs to ensure their mobile phone insurance needs are met now and in the future.

How do I purchase insurance?

Protecting your mobile phone is quick and easy. Insurance can be purchased by applying online at our website www.insurance2go.co.uk

Why shouldn't I cover my phone under my household insurance?

This policy is a dedicated insurance policy especially for mobile phones, ensuring rapid replacement or repair of your handset once your claim has been accepted.
Household policies often have a much higher excess and a claim for your mobile phone will more likely affect your no claims bonus.

How can I pay for my insurance?

You can choose to pay for your insurance by paying either 1 annual payment, or by monthly installments.

Annual payments will be collected by Insurance 2 Go via WorldPay. The name of Insurance 2 Go will appear on your credit or debit card statement.

Monthly payments will be collected by the Citymain Administrators Limited. The name of Citymain Administrators Limited re: Insurance 2 Go will appear on your bank statement when the payment is taken.

Loyal Insurance Service Ltd receives premiums as an agent of Jubilee Managing Agency Limited, and Citymain Administrators Ltd receives premiums, pay claims and hold monies as an agent of Jubilee Managing Agency.

How does a Direct Debit payment work?

A Direct Debit is an instruction from a customer to their bank or building society authorising an organisation to collect varying amounts from their account, as long as the customer has been given advance notice of the collection amounts and dates. In accepting insurance from Insurance 2 Go, you have agreed that we send your personal and bank details to the insurance administrators to enable us to arrange for your phone to be insured from the moment your insurance has been accepted.

In order to set up a Direct Debit, the organisation you wish to pay will ask you to complete a Direct Debit Instruction. You will need to provide your name and address, name and address of your bank/building society (where applicable), your bank/building society account number and branch sort code. Ensure all the details are correct.

The organisation will update their payment records and forward the instruction on to your bank/building society. The instruction to them gives the organisation authority to collect varying agreed amounts from your account on dates agreed with you.

The organisation will give you advance notice of a collection of dates and amounts. Check these details are correct. Should you wish to query any of the details contact the organisation straight away. There is nothing further you need to do apart from ensure you have sufficient funds in your account.

Is it possible to change the date that my Direct Debit payment comes out of my bank account?

Unfortunately, you are unable to change the date of the Direct Debit collection from your bank account. The date is set and agreed with your bank and we write to you advising and confirming the set up of your Direct Debit instruction and future payment schedule.

Who are WorldPay?

WorldPay are an accredited payment service provider and provide the online payment system for credit card transactions for this website. They handle your credit card transaction in a highly secure environment.

What if I have difficulty entering my bank details?

You will only be able to move forward in the application process if correct details are entered. The website system only accepts information that match and is then validated by the bank. If incorrect details are entered an error warning message will be displayed and you will be asked to enter your details again correctly.

If you see an "Invalid card or card number" message – you should check that you are entering the card number without any spaces. Switch and Solo cards may have a card number printed on them which is only an 8 digit number. We require the long number across the centre of the card.

If you see a message "Authorisation on that payment type has been declined by the bank" your card has been declined by your card issuer, who is responsible for generating the message. You will need to contact your card issuer to find out why your card has been refused. You should check that you have entered the correct card expiry date, valid from date and issue number etc. Your card issuer may inform you that they have authorised the payment, but are awaiting an authorisation code from the merchant. This is known as a referral and cannot be authorised for online payments. In this case, you should try your card again or use a different card.

I have a business bank account. Can I set up my Direct Debit in the normal way?

If you have a business bank account, you will still be required to enter your bank details on the website in the normal way. However, additionally, you need to click on the Direct Debit Mandate link, print and complete it in full and return to the address detailed on the form – Insurance 2 Go, PO Box 116, Ryde, PO33 2WX.

The Sale of Goods Acts lay down several conditions that all goods sold by a trader must meet. The goods must be of satisfactory quality, as described and fit for purpose. Your statutory rights are limited which is why we offer insurance (not just an extended warranty) specially designed to protect your mobile phone (but not e.g. accessories or car kits), against risks such as theft, accidental damage (including water damage), loss, unauthorised calls following a valid theft claim and mobile wallet protection following a valid theft or loss claim whilst being used in the United Kingdom (and worldwide for a maximum of 30 days in any one year) by you as the person who purchased it or your spouse or partner or any of your children, brothers, sisters (all over the age of 16) and parents who permanently live with you.

Importantly these may include; inappropriate use, wear and tear or gradual deterioration of the phone, cosmetic damage to the phone, claims not accompanied by a Crime Reference Number, any claim made in excess of 48 hours of discovering the event or from return to the UK where the incident occurred outside of the UK any claim form not returned within 30 days of notifying the claim, and any claim where the user is under the age of 16. Any handset more than 6 months old at the time of purchasing the insurance, as evidenced by the relevant proof of purchase. There is an excess on each and every claim as specified in the policy document. All policies have a maximum limit of liability for any claim which shall be the replacement cost of the telephone and in any event shall not exceed a total claim cost up to a maximum of £700.00 including VAT. Theft or loss claims will not be paid unless reported to the appropriate local Police authority within 24 hours of discovering the incident and your Network within 12 hours of discovering the incident. If the theft is from an unattended vehicle unless the vehicle is locked and the phone is completely hidden from view within a glove compartment or boot, from unoccupied premises unless there is evidence of forced entry, from the person unless force, or threat of violence is used or if the theft is in a public place if you leave the phone unattended.

Collection of any outstanding payments will be taken at the time of the claim and can be paid by credit/debit card over the phone or by sending a cheque to the Administrator. Your direct debit will be suspended until month 13 onwards and will continue on a monthly basis thereafter in accordance with your direct debit instruction.
