Protection Plan Terms of Service
UK Recovery Team Ltd now offers a range of Protection Plans to ensure that any expense of repairs from an appliance breakdown is dealt with by qualified and experienced professionals. The service is provided by UK Recovery Team Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales at Unit 4, Silverworks Close, London NW9 0DW and with Registration Number: 12982192. Any dispute will be handled in accordance with local UK laws and handled in the UK.
Plans include paying a fee in exchange for unlimited repairs to your home appliances system (where applicable and agree upon in advance). Prices of our current Protection Plans can be found here.
Unlike an Insurance product, our plans are categorised as a Service or Protection plan. As such, Insurance regulation will not apply.
Subject to the Conditions, Exclusions and Limitations in the contract, UK Recovery Team Ltd agree that in the case of an event outside your manufacturer’s guarantee period and within the territorial limits during the Plan, they shall pay for the cost of repair by the approved repairer authorised by them or for product replacement when authorised and arranged by them.
Under no circumstances will UK Recovery Team Ltd pay Cash or a Settlement for work carried out by an unauthorised third party, outside the scope of this contract.
When you are setting up a new plan, it is important to note the level of protection you require. While it's impossible to plan for every instance, you should take some time to think about your needs as a Homeowner/Landlord. If you have any questions regarding the use of your Protection Plan, please contact our customer service team on 02081 459 171.
