Important Information
Important Information and Limitations
- BINDING ARBITRATION: WHILE WE TRY AND RESOLVE DISPUTES, THE INSURANCE POLICY CONTAINS A MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE SUBMISSION OF ALL DISPUTES (EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESS STATE EXEMPTIONS ARE PROVIDED) TO ARBITRATION BY THE PROVISIONS OUTLINED IN SECTION G.1. OF THE POLICY. THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS DO NOT PREVENT YOU FROM INFORMING FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL AGENCIES OF ANY DISPUTE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO SUBMIT DISPUTES TO BINDING AND INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, OR YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS, YOU SHOULD NOT ENROLL IN WIRELESS PHONE PROTECTION PRODUCTS.
- Cracked Screen and Back Glass Repair: Available on select smartphones in select locations and subject to parts and technician availability and other criteria, which are subject to change at any time. Devices with damage to the screen and back glass are not eligible for repair unless the device is eligible for both cracked screen and back glass repair (if ineligible for repair, damage replacement deductible applies). Repairs are performed by an Asurion-certified technician and come with a 12-month limited warranty. Repairs may use new or refurbished parts, may contain original or non-original manufacturer parts, and may void the manufacturer warranty. Repair options may include in-store repair, mail-in repair or at-home repair. To determine your device eligibility for screen and/or back glass repair, visit phoneclaim.com/verizon. This benefit is provided by Wireless Phone Protection.
- Replacement Devices: For approved claims, a repair or replacement device will be provided at our discretion. It is our goal to provide you with a replacement device that is the same color and has the same features, but this cannot be guaranteed. If the same make and model you claim is not available, a similar make and model will be substituted. Your replacement device could be new or refurbished and may contain original or non-original replacement parts. You may also receive standard accessories with lost or stolen claims.
- Covered Accessories: The following accessories are covered at the time of loss: one standard battery (attached to the wireless device at the time of loss) and one standard home charger. In addition to the foregoing, the following accessories are covered for watches (insurance claims only): one standard wristband (attached to the device at the time of loss) of like kind and quality to the band received at the time of purchase (not to include bands purchased separately from the watch).
- Optional Insurance Coverage: You do not need to purchase insurance coverage to purchase a device or activate Verizon service.
- Duplication of Coverage: You may already have coverage under your homeowner’s insurance or other means.
- Sales Representative Qualifications: Unless otherwise licensed, Verizon sales representatives are not qualified or authorized to evaluate the adequacy of your existing insurance coverages.
- Electronic Communications: Asurion may send you program communications, including legal notices and terms and conditions, electronically using the last email address on file with Verizon, the mobile number identified in the Verizon system as the account owner and/or any other email address or mobile number you provide to Asurion, unless prohibited by state law. If electronic delivery is not possible, this information will be mailed to you. Legal notices will not be sent to New York customers electronically.
- Covered Property: Your coverage applies to the device being used on the mobile number you enrolled (for VMP MD, coverage applies to lines you have registered for coverage). If you change devices, your deductible, premium and/or monthly charge could change. Please see the sample list of devices in this brochure. Device protection follows the enrolled mobile number (single device coverage options) and follows the registered line on an account with VMP MD.
- Insurance Exclusions and Limitations: Coverage contains limitations and exclusions including loss or damage caused by governmental authority; nuclear hazard; war; delay or loss of use; electrical and mechanical breakdown; dishonest or criminal acts; obsolescence; recall or design defect; cosmetic damage; covered under warranty; late claims; programming; repair work; virus; voluntary parting; intentional loss or damage; pollution; fees or charges; failure to mitigate; and vermin. See terms and conditions for a full list of exclusions and limitations.
- Non-Return Fee: If you receive a replacement device, your original device must be returned to us (unless it has been lost or stolen) using the prepaid shipping label provided with your replacement device. Under the insurance program, a Non-Return Fee of up to $300, based on the cost of the claim to Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc. (or its affiliates), may be charged for your failure to return your original device. Under the Verizon Extended Warranty, a Non-Return Fee of up to the full retail price of the replacement device may be charged for your failure to return your original device.
- Verizon Extended Warranty: Verizon Extended Warranty is a service contract, separate and distinct from any product/service warranty that may be provided by the device manufacturer, and does not extend the term of any such product/service warranty.
- Smartphones with Multi-SIM Capability: Verizon customers with multi-SIM devices now have more options for protecting their eligible devices. Verizon device protection single-device coverage options that include insurance coverage (e.g., Verizon Mobile Protect, TEC, WPP) provide coverage for multi-SIM devices based on the SIM (and associated mobile device number) that is enrolled. While you may choose to enroll multiple SIMs (each with a separate mobile number) associated with a single device in a single-device protection program because you plan to move one SIM (and associated mobile number) to a different device, enrolling separate SIMs associated with a single device may result in duplicative coverage and monthly charges. For questions on the best options for covering your multi-SIM device(s), call 1.800.256.4646. For Verizon Mobile Protect Multi-Device customers, coverage for a multi-SIM device used on an eligible line on the account requires registration of an active SIM (and associated mobile number) that is active on the covered wireless line and shows data usage on the device immediately before the loss. Should you have more than one SIM (and associated mobile number) active on the same device at the time of loss, only one SIM on an eligible device may be registered for coverage and a claim filed for that device.
- REMINDER: Enrolled customers with multi-SIM devices can only file one claim on a single device in which two or more separate SIMs (and associated mobile numbers) may be active and in use on the same device before the covered loss.

By: in Georgia, LM General Insurance Company, in Indiana, Indiana Insurance Company, in Louisiana, Liberty Personal Insurance Company, in New Jersey, Liberty Mutual Mid-Atlantic Insurance Company, and in all other states, Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc., or one of its insurance company affiliates.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT COVERAGE INSURANCE POLICY
Various provisions in the policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered. The words “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the insurer in Georgia, LM General Insurance Company; in Indiana, Indiana Insurance Company; in Louisiana, Liberty Personal Insurance Company; in New Jersey, Liberty Mutual Mid-Atlantic Insurance Company; and in all other states, Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc., or one of its insurance company affiliates that is providing this insurance. The terms “you” and “your” mean, as the context requires, the First Named Insured or any Additional Insured or both. The word “Agent” refers to Asurion Insurance Services, Inc. The term “Authorized Service Center” means the service centre providing repair and replacement services on our behalf. The term “Wireless Service Provider” means Verizon Wireless, who is the First Named Insured, providing the Covered Property.
COVERAGE
In exchange for the premium paid when due, we agree to provide the coverage as stated in the policy on a month-to-month basis, provided that any covered damage or loss to the Covered Property is sustained while your coverage is in effect.
- Who Is Covered
- a. First Named Insured The First Named Insured is Verizon Wireless for its interest in Covered Property.
- b. Additional Insureds The First Named Insured has the right to request Additional Insured status for a customer for his or her interest in the Covered Property which he, she or it owns (references herein to “Insured” refer collectively to “First Named Insured” and “Additional Insured”). Requests for coverage for Additional Insureds are subject to our approval.
- Line Based Coverage provides coverage for Covered Property in use on a specific enrolled mobile number active on the account for wireless communication service with the Wireless Service Provider. For devices with multiple SIM capabilities, two (2) separate enrolled mobile numbers that are active on the account for wireless communication service with the Wireless Service Provider may be in use on the same Covered Property.
- Account Coverage provides coverage for Covered Property in use on the mobile numbers that: 1) are active on the Additional Insured’s enrolled account for wireless communication service with the Wireless Service Provider; and 2) have been registered for coverage by the Additional Insured as described in Section A.2 below. When an enrolled mobile number is removed from the Additional Insured’s account with the Wireless Service Provider, coverage ceases immediately for any Covered Property associated with or in use on that mobile number, unless the Covered Property has multiple-SIM capability and is also in use on a separate enrolled mobile number.
- Covered Property Covered Property means only the mobile wireless communications equipment as follows:
- a. If you have subscribed to Line Based Coverage: Covered Property means the wireless device owned by you for which: 1) the unique identification number (International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), Electronic Serial Number (ESN), or Mobile Equipment ID (MEID)) of such wireless device is reflected in the records of the Wireless Service Provider at the time your coverage initially became effective; and 2) for which outgoing airtime usage has been logged with the Wireless Service Provider on the account after coverage became effective; unless you have logged outgoing airtime on a different wireless device immediately before the time of loss, in which case such wireless device becomes the Covered Property so long as i) such wireless device is owned by you and you provide us proof of ownership and ii) airtime usage was logged on such device on the account with the Wireless Service Provider immediately before the time of loss.
- b. If you have subscribed to Account-Based Coverage: When you enrol in Account-Based Coverage (for multiple devices), unless you are eligible to purchase additional registrations as described below, you will receive either two (2) or three (3) registrations based on the number of mobile numbers with eligible devices (“eligible mobile numbers”) on your account. If your account has two (2) or three (3) eligible mobile numbers, each registration is filled with one (1) of those mobile numbers. If your account has four (4) to twenty (20) eligible mobile numbers, you will receive three (3) registrations and may choose which three (3) of those mobile numbers to register; registration of a mobile number must be done with Asurion. When you register an eligible mobile number, the device in use on the registered mobile number becomes Covered Property so long as the device: 1) is owned by you; 2) the device’s unique identification number (International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), Electronic Serial Number (ESN), or Mobile Equipment ID (MEID)) is reflected in the records of the Wireless Service Provider; and 3) outgoing airtime usage has been logged by the device with the Wireless Service Provider on your account after your account was enrolled in Account Based Coverage. If you change the device in use on a registered mobile number, the new device becomes the Covered Property in place of the previous device so long as: 1) the above requirements of this paragraph are met, and 2) airtime usage was logged on the new device immediately before the time of loss. A registered mobile number will remain registered for 12 months following the date of loss of the most recent covered claim on that registered mobile number. If your account has four (4) to twenty (20) eligible mobile numbers, you may be eligible to purchase up to three (3) additional registrations. The additional registrations that are available to purchase are based on the total number of eligible mobile numbers on your account. Purchasing an additional registration will allow you to register one (1) additional eligible mobile number for coverage. Adding or removing eligible mobile numbers to and from your account may change your total number of available registrations and/or registered mobile numbers, your monthly premium or your enrollment in Account Coverage. Please review the Verizon device protection consumer program brochure or contact Asurion or the Wireless Service Provider regarding your coverage or available registrations.
- c. The following applies to both Line Based Coverage and Account Based Coverage: Covered Property includes an accessory used with the Covered Property at the time of loss, specifically: one (1) standard battery (attached to wireless device at time of loss); and one (1) standard home charger. In addition to the foregoing, Accessories used with connected wearable devices that are Covered Property at the time of loss includes one (1) standard wristband (attached to the device at the time of loss) of like kind and quality to the band received at the time of purchase (not to include bands purchased separately from the watch).

- Coverage is provided for the policy period shown in the Declarations subject to Section G.4.b.
- Coverage Territory

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
-
Arbitration Agreement
- Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It affects your rights. Most of your concerns about the policy can be addressed simply by contacting us at 1.888.881.2622. In the unlikely event, we cannot resolve any disputes, including any claims under the policy, that you or we may have,
- YOU AND I AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH EITHER BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU AND I AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS.
- Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. It has more limited discovery than in court and is subject to limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
- For this Arbitration Agreement, references to “we,” “us” and “our” include Liberty Insurance Underwriters Inc., our Agent, the First Named Insured and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, successors and assigns. The policy evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of the policy.
- This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute: (1) arising out of or relating in any way to the policy or to the relationship between You and Us, whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise; (2) that arose either before this Arbitration Agreement or policy was entered into by you and us or that arises after this Arbitration Agreement or policy is terminated; and (3) that currently is the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing an individual action in small claims court or from informing any federal, state or local agencies or entities of your dispute. Such agencies or entities may be able to seek relief on your behalf.
- If you or we intend to seek arbitration you and we must first send to the other a written Notice of Claim (“Notice”) by certified mail. Your Notice to us should be addressed to: the Legal Department, P.O. Box 110656, Nashville, TN 37222. The Notice must describe the dispute and state the specific relief sought. If you and we do not resolve the dispute within 30 days of receipt of the Notice, you or we may initiate an arbitration proceeding with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You can obtain the forms necessary to initiate an arbitration proceeding by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. After we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will reimburse you for payment of any filing fee to the AAA. If you are unable to pay a required filing fee, we will pay it if you send a written request by certified mail to: the Legal Department, P.O. Box 110656, Nashville, TN 37222.
- The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA per the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”) in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You can obtain a copy of the Arbitration Rules by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
- The arbitrator appointed by the AAA to decide the dispute is bound by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement, with the exception that issues relating to the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement may be decided by a court. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county or parish of your billing address.
- If your dispute is for $10,000 or less, you may choose to conduct the arbitration hearings either by submitting documents to the arbitrator or by appearing before the arbitrator in person or by telephone. If your dispute is for more than $10,000, the right to arbitration hearings will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated under this Arbitration Agreement unless your dispute is found by the arbitrator to have been frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). In that case, the payment of such fees shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules.
- After the arbitration hearings, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that includes an explanation of the facts and law upon which the decision is based. If the arbitrator finds in your favour and issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement offer made by us or if we made no settlement offer and the arbitrator awards you any damages, we will: (1) pay you the amount of the damages award or $7,500, whichever is greater; and (2) pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of the attorney’s fees and the actual amount of any expenses reasonably incurred when pursuing your dispute in arbitration. You and we agree not to disclose any settlement offers to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has issued the written decision. The arbitrator may resolve any disputes regarding attorney’s fees and expenses either during the arbitration hearings or, upon request, within 14 days of the arbitrator’s written decision. While the right to the attorney’s fees and expenses discussed above is in addition to any right you may have under applicable law, neither you nor your attorney may recover duplicate awards of attorney’s fees and expenses. Although we may have the right under applicable law to recover attorney’s fees and expenses from you if we prevail in the arbitration, we hereby waive the right to do so.
- To the extent either declaratory or injunctive relief is sought in the arbitration, such relief can be awarded only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by a party’s claim. YOU AND
- WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
- Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the dispute of another person with your or our dispute and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
-
Claim Authorization and Loss Payment
- We or Asurion Insurance Services, Inc. have the right to settle the loss with the Insured or his or her designee.
- No claims will be accepted unless authorized by Asurion Insurance Services, Inc.
- All repairs and replacements must be made by the Authorized Service Center unless we or our Agent give the Insured other specific directions.
