Examples of third-party purchases may include digital content subscriptions, once off payments, charity donations and in-app charges etc. For a full list of third party providers whose goods, services or digital content you can purchase and/or subscribe to using the Service, please see https://n.vodafone.ie/support/mobile/charge-to-bill-faqs.html.

Vodafone Care Damage Insurance (from 28 October 2020)
This is your mobile device insurance policy for accidental damage. In this document you will find everything you need to know about your cover. Please read this carefully to make sure this policy is right for you and if you have any questions call us on 0818 92 77 11. This policy constitutes an agreement between you and the insurer, Assurant Europe Insurance N.V. The insurer has appointed Sedgwick to administer the policy. References to ‘we/us/our’ relates to Assurant Europe Insurance N.V., Sedgwick and Vodafone. No advice has been given about this insurance product.
Who is this cover designed for?
This policy is designed for people who have a mobile device provided by Vodafone that is not already covered under another insurance policy and you want to cover the cost of repairing or replacing your mobile device against accidental damage. Successful claims are subject to an excess payment by you and you should take this into consideration when deciding if this policy is suitable for you.
You must be at least 18 years of age at the time you purchased this insurance and have a Vodafone airtime contract (i.e. a mobile voice/ data monthly subscription) in place throughout the duration of this policy.
Having insurance does not mean that you can take risks with your mobile device which you would not take if your mobile device was not insured as doing so may result in your claim being declined. Further details can be found in the section ‘What you are NOT covered for’.
What you are covered for
Insurance cover worldwide for the mobile device connected to the Vodafone network and registered with us which must be owned by you in the event of:
Accidental damage
Accidental damage is where an unforeseen event has caused the physical damage to your device which prevents it from working correctly
If your mobile device is accidentally damaged we will either repair or replace it.
Worldwide cover is for single trips outside of Ireland up to a maximum of 30 days
Replacements
1. Where we replace the mobile device the replacement may be a remanufactured (not brand new) device.
2. We will attempt to replace your device with one of the same colour but we can’t guarantee to do this or replace any limited or special edition mobile devices.
3. If we cannot replace your device with one of the same make and model we will contact you to discuss alternative mobile devices of similar specification.
If you are unable to provide the damaged mobile device to support your claim for a damage incident, then this will be classified as a lost mobile device and not covered on this policy. Where we send you a replacement or repaired item, this will only be sent to an Irish address.
Credit to your Vodafone account for the inconvenience of being unable to access your services
We will provide you automatically with a credit to your account of €2 per day for the inconvenience of being unable to use the Vodafone network services whilst your mobile device is being repaired or replaced after a successful claim.
We will advise you at the point of claims how much credit will be applied to your account based on our expectation in being able to repair or replace your device. If it takes longer than expected to repair or replace your device, you can claim an additional €2 per day for each full day you are unable to access the network up to a maximum value of €30. To claim any additional credit above the initial credit please contact the administrators on 0818 92 77 11 providing details on the time it has taken to complete your claim.
What you are NOT covered for
Excess - You need to pay a contribution of €75.00 every time you make a successful claim, this is the excess.
Not taking care of your mobile device - Taking care of your mobile device means:
- Following manufacturer instructions on the use of your device
- Not knowingly leaving the device out of sight where another person could damage your device
- Intentionally damaging your device
All these examples increase the risk of it being damaged and may result in your claim being declined. The examples are to help you understand what’s covered and are not the only reasons a claim could be rejected.
More than 2 claims in a 12-month period - When we have settled the second claim then this policy will automatically cancel. For example, if you make your first claim on the 1st January, you are limited to only one more claim up until 1st January the following year. The policy will cancel on the date on which we settle your second claim.
Loss or theft of your mobile device - This policy provides insurance for accidental damage only. The loss or theft of your mobile device is not covered under any circumstances.
Cosmetic damage - We only cover damage if it stops the normal functioning of your mobile device. If it is just a scratch or dent, and your mobile device still works as expected, then we will not repair or replace it. For example, a scratched screen would not be covered but a cracked screen would be covered.
Contents of your mobile device - We only cover the mobile device, we don’t cover the contents. This means that any pictures, software, downloads, apps, music or any other content is not covered by this policy so make sure you back it up regularly.
Other losses - We don’t cover any loss of profit, opportunity, goodwill or similar losses. We just cover the mobile device.
Breakdown – Cover is provided where the physical damage to the device has been caused by an unforeseen event. If the failure of the device is just as a result of a fault (whether covered by a manufacturer warranty or not) which has developed over time, then this is not covered by this policy.
Modifications - If your mobile device has been modified in any way, we will only replace the mobile device, we do not cover the modifications that have been made. Modifications are anything that changes the way your mobile device looks or operates from the original specifications. This includes things like adding gems, precious metals or making software changes such as unlocking your mobile device from a network.
Accessories - Items which connect to your mobile device are not covered by this insurance policy (e.g. chargers, cases, SIM cards, memory cards, headphones etc.)
How to make a claim
Step One – Log your claim by calling us on 0818 92 77 11
Step Two – We will walk you through the simple claim process and tell you what information you will need to provide for us to assess your claim.
You may be asked to complete a claim form or provide additional information in order to progress your claim. Failure to do so may result in your claim being delayed
Step Three – The excess will be added to your Vodafone network bill
Step Four - We will either repair your mobile device or send you a replacement.
What you need to know about the claims process
- If you are claiming for a damaged device and we need to provide you with a replacement, we will not be able to send you the replacement device until we have been able to confirm that any locking mechanism has been removed (e.g. Find My iPhone).
- If we are unable to replace your device with the same make and model, we will contact you to discuss an alternative claim settlement.
- Damaged mobile devices, parts and materials replaced by us shall become the property of the insurer.
- In some instances, we may arrange to deliver your replacement device at the same time as collecting your damaged device. If you return a device or item other than the insured device, we will either recover the replacement device, block the replacement handset to prevent it from being used and/or recover the cash value by adding this to your Vodafone network bill. The action taken will be at our sole discretion.
What if your claim is rejected?
If you’re not happy with the claim decision, we want to hear from you as soon as possible. Please call us on 0818 92 77 11. Alternatively, you can email vodafone@ie.sedgwick.com or write to: Vodafone Insurance, Merrion Hall, Strand Road, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Fraud
We do not tolerate any aspect of fraudulent activity. We work closely and share data with other insurers, law enforcement agencies, fraud prevention agencies, public bodies and airtime providers to identify fraud and support prosecution where appropriate evidence exists.

Additional Dropbox Space Offer T&Cs
- Status of these terms
These terms and conditions relate to a promotional offer by Vodafone for you to obtain, depending on your Vodafone calling plan, additional space for your Dropbox account in connection with the Vodafone service ‘Backup+' for a promotional period, and an automatic paid monthly subscription for additional Dropbox space on expiry of that promotional period. Where such promotional offer is not available on your Vodafone calling plan, you may be offered the option to subscribe for a standalone paid monthly subscription. These terms are between you and us (Vodafone) and are applicable from 3rd December 2015 until further notice. These terms and conditions apply in addition to:- The general customer terms and conditions of Vodafone Ireland Limited under which you enjoy access to Vodafone's mobile telecommunication services, available on www.vodafone.ie/terms AND
- The terms and conditions applicable generally to your use of Backup+, a copy of which is available here. Terms not defined here have the meaning in those terms. Your acceptance of these additional terms by agreeing to be bound by them within Backup+ (and your acceptance of any promotional offer detailed within Backup+) and your continued use of Backup+, constitutes your acceptance of these additional terms (together with the general terms referred to above).
- Eligibility
The service described in these additional terms is for Dropbox end users and consists of additional space for the user's Dropbox account for the applicable period of time as set out in the relevant set up page of Backup+ (which, for some Vodafone calling plans may be unlimited in time). You will only be eligible for any such offer if you:- have a Vodafone mobile telephone number assigned by Vodafone with the country code of the territory of the relevant Vodafone company which is providing you with your Vodafone account;
- have the Backup+ application installed and set up on your mobile device;
- have an eligible Vodafone calling plan (at our discretion); and
- have a Dropbox account and have linked Backup+ with your Dropbox account.
- Promotional Offer and Paid Monthly Storage Subscription – storage and term Promotional Offer
Your Vodafone calling plan may entitle you to a promotional offer for a certain defined period to increase your Dropbox space amount (beyond the Dropbox free plan amount, which is currently named Dropbox Basic), without additional charge for a promotional period, and you will be able to choose, during the set up process for Backup+ (or subsequently), to subscribe to this option (the "Promotional Offer"). The amount of additional storage for your Dropbox account and the term of the promotional period applicable to your calling plan will be shown in Backup+ at the time you are offered the Promotional Offer.
Note to VGCs – please discuss this with your local VAT contact as this wording may need to be amended to accommodate local VAT interpretation. The term of the promotional period for any such Promotional Offer will begin on the date you subscribe for the Promotional Offer through Backup+ by accepting these terms (and not on the date you complete "Get Started" – see more on this below). Please note if you only complete Get Started towards the end of your Promotional Offer period you will have a shorter period in which to enjoy the full additional amount of Dropbox space.
Where your Vodafone calling plan entitles you to additional Dropbox space for the whole period of your Vodafone calling plan, this will be visible in Backup+. At the end of your Promotional Offer period, you will be automatically billed for a storage subscription for an additional 25GB of Dropbox space over the Dropbox free plan amount (see section 6 below on this automatic billing).
If your Dropbox stored amount is greater than this additional 25GB, you will not be able to upload new content until you come below the new limit but you will still be able to have read-only access to the existing content (or otherwise as stated in the Dropbox Terms of Service). In this instance, you will also have the option to subscribe for the 25GB of additional Dropbox space.
Paid Monthly Storage Subscription
Where your Vodafone calling plan does not entitle you to a Promotional Offer or you have cancelled such offer, you may be given the option to pay Vodafone a monthly fee to increase your amount of Dropbox space by 25GB through Backup+ at the price per month [including VAT] set out beside such option in Backup+.
Such subscription will continue until you cancel it (see "Cancellation" below). We refer to this as the "Paid Monthly Storage Subscription". - Get Started
In order to fully utilise any additional Dropbox space as part of any Promotional Offer (but not the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription) you will have to complete Dropbox's "Get Started" steps (as outlined in at www.dropbox.com/gs).
Initially on subscription to the Promotional Offer you will have access to an additional 3GB of Dropbox space (over the Dropbox Basic plan amount). Once you have completed "Get Started" then you will have access to the remaining amount of the additional Dropbox space included within your Promotional Offer. For example, if you are entitled to an additional 25GB of space, initially, on subscription, you will receive an additional 3GB and then, on completion of "Get Started", you will receive further 22GB of additional Dropbox space, thus totalling the additional of 25GB of space.
If you are a subscriber to the Promotional Offer, you must complete "Get Started" by the end of the time period for that Promotional Offer. - Status of subscription
You will be able to check the status of your Promotional Offer subscription or the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription via the "My Offer" page within Backup+ (or equivalent page). This will always show the amount of GB of Dropbox space you have subscribed for, the duration of your free Promotional Offer duration (if applicable), and the price following the end of your Promotional Offer or of the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription (as applicable). - Charges and automatic billing after expiry of Promotional Offer
Paid Monthly Storage Subscription If you have subscribed to the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription described above, you will receive an additional 25GB of Dropbox space through Backup+ at the price per month [including VAT/excluding VAT] set out beside such option in Backup+.
Such amount, if chosen by you, will be added to your usual monthly bill or deducted from your pre-paid credit balance and you agree to be billed or charged for that amount. Pay as you go customers will need to have credit on their account each month in order for the monthly standalone subscription payment to be made.
Promotional Offer – automatic billing of Paid Monthly Storage Subscription after promotional period
No charge will be made by us or Dropbox for the term of the promotional period of any Promotional Offer in addition to the amount already charged for your Vodafone calling plan. However (unless the promotion applicable to your Vodafone call plan states otherwise), at the end of such offer period, you agree to be automatically billed on a monthly basis for a fixed amount of 25GB of additional Dropbox space through Backup+ at the price per month [including VAT/excluding VAT] set out beside such option in Backup+, until or unless you cancel such subscription (as set out directly below).
This 25GB is over and above the Dropbox Basic plan amount – not the amount you previously had during any Promotional Offer.
We will notify you by SMS prior to the commencement of this automatic billing and you will have a chance to choose not to take the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription. Cancellation is described below.
The Paid Monthly Storage Subscription, if you do not cancel it, will be added from your usual monthly bill or deducted from your pre-paid credit balance and you agree to be billed or charged for that amount. Pay as you go customers will need to have sufficient credit on their account each month in order for the monthly standalone subscription payment to be made.
We will notify you if the price for the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription changes during the term of this agreement - Relationship with Dropbox services and acceptance of Dropbox terms
If you purchase access to additional Dropbox space as described in these terms, you are and remain a customer of Vodafone (except for the period of any time-limited Promotional Offer where you will be a customer of Dropbox). In order to take up the Promotional Offer or the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription, you must create a Dropbox account (if you do not have one already). Once you have completed the registration process to create a Dropbox account, certain services in connection with Backup+ (for example, Dropbox space) are provided by Dropbox. Your use of Dropbox is subject to Dropbox's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, available at http://www.dropbox.com/terms and https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/security/terms-service-privacy-policy , respectively. Vodafone is not legally responsible to you for the storage of your content on Dropbox. - Cancellation
You may cancel your automatic rolling over onto the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription at any stage.
You may decide to cancel your additional Dropbox space (including the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription) at any time, via the "My Offer" page in your Backup+. Cancelling such additional Dropbox space will not cancel your Dropbox account, if you would like to cancel your Dropbox account please contact Dropbox as per the Dropbox Terms of Service. While you may cancel the Promotional Offer at any stage, if you do so you will not be able to re-subscribe for the Promotional Offer again (except where your Promotional Offer period lasts for the whole of your Vodafone calling plan) and may be offered an alternative paid option to increase your Dropbox space (for example, the Paid Monthly Storage Subscription). In addition, if you cancel during your Promotional Offer period, your additional Dropbox space will not be available at the end of the next renewal period (for example, monthly cycle) and not at the end of the stated Promotional Period.
The cancellation will take effect from the next monthly anniversary of the date you subscribed except where you cancel less than 24 hours before your next monthly anniversary date in which case cancellation will take effect from the following monthly anniversary.
You will not be refunded for any partial months. - Cooling off period - right to cancel within 14 days
You can cancel your Paid Monthly Storage Subscription during the first 14 days following the date you first registered for the monthly subscription ("Cancellation Period"). We'll reimburse you for any monthly subscription payments you have already made.
After the Cancellation Period you can terminate your Paid Monthly Storage Subscription as outlined above.

If your mobile device is accidentally damaged we will either repair or replace it.
Worldwide cover is for single trips outside of Ireland up to a maximum of 30 days
Replacements
- Where we replace the mobile device the replacement may be a remanufactured (not brand new) device.
- We will attempt to replace your device with one of the same colour but we can’t guarantee to do this or replace any limited or special edition mobile devices.
- If we cannot replace your device with one of the same make, model and specification we will contact you to discuss alternative mobile devices of similar specification.
If you are unable to provide the damaged mobile device to support your claim for a damage incident, then this will be classified as a lost mobile device and not covered on this policy. Where we send you a replacement or repaired item, this will only be sent to an Irish address.
What you are NOT covered for
Excess - You need to pay a contribution of €75.00 every time you make a successful claim, this is the excess.
Not taking care of your mobile device - Taking care of your mobile device means:
- Following manufacturer instructions on the use of your device
- Not knowingly leaving the device out of sight where another person could damage your device
- Intentionally damaging your device
All of these examples increase the risk of it being damaged and may result in your claim being declined. The examples are to help you understand what’s covered, and are not the only reasons a claim could be rejected.
More than 2 claims in a 12 month period - When we have settled the second claim then this policy will automatically cancel. For example if you make your first claim on the 1st January, you are limited to only one more claim up until 1st January the following year. The policy will cancel on the date on which we settle your second claim.
Cosmetic damage - We only cover damage if it stops the normal functioning of your mobile device. If it is just a scratch or dent, and your mobile device still works as expected, then we will not repair or replace it. For example, a scratched screen would not be covered but a cracked screen would be covered.
Contents of your mobile device - We only cover the mobile device, we don’t cover the contents. This means that any pictures, software, downloads, apps, music or any other content is not covered by this policy so make sure you back it up regularly.
Other losses - We don’t cover any loss of profit, opportunity, goodwill or similar losses. We just cover the mobile device.
Loss or theft of your mobile device - This policy provides insurance for accidental damage only. The loss or theft of your mobile device is not covered under any circumstances.
Breakdown – Cover is provided where the physical damage to the device has been caused by an unforeseen event. If the failure of the device is just as a result of a fault (whether covered by a manufacturer warranty or not) which has developed over time then this is not covered by this policy.
Modifications - If your mobile device has been modified in any way we will only replace the mobile device, we do not cover the modifications that have been made. Modifications are anything that changes the way your mobile device looks or operates from the original specifications. This includes things like adding gems, precious metals or making software changes such as unlocking your mobile device from a network.
How to make a claim
Step One – Call us as soon as possible on 0818 92 77 11
Step Two – We will walk you through the simple claim process and tell you what information you will need to provide for us to assess your claim.
You may be asked to complete a claim form or provide additional information in order to progress your claim. Failure to do so may result in your claim being delayed
Step Three – Pay the excess, this will be added to your Vodafone network bill
Step Four - We will either repair your mobile device or send you a replacement.
What you need to know about the claims process
- If you are claiming for a damaged device and we need to provide you with a replacement, we will not be able to send you the replacement device until we have been able to confirm that any locking mechanism has been removed (e.g. Find My iPhone).
- If we are unable to replace your device with the same make and model, we will contact you to discuss an alternative claim settlement.
- Damaged mobile devices, parts and materials replaced by us shall become the property of the insurer.
- In some instances we may arrange to deliver your replacement device at the same time as collecting your damaged device. If you return a device or item other than the insured device we will either recover the replacement device, block the replacement handset to prevent it from being used and/or recover the cash value by adding this to your Vodafone network bill. The action taken will be at our sole discretion.
What if your claim is rejected?
If you’re not happy with the claim decision, we want to hear from you as soon as possible. Please follow the complaints process.
Fraud
We do not tolerate any aspect of fraudulent activity. We work closely and share data with other insurers, law enforcement agencies, fraud prevention agencies, public bodies and airtime providers to identify fraud and support prosecution where appropriate evidence exists.
If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified then we may:
- Reject the claim and we may cancel your policy. If an excess has been paid this will be returned.
- Report you to relevant authorities and take legal action, if necessary, to recover any money already paid to you under this insurance policy.
- Pass the details on to your network or our distribution partner providing this service as part of a wider offering.
- Share details of the fraudulent claim with a number of industry wide fraud prevention databases. A list of participants and the name and address of the operators are available on request.
- Pass details to fraud prevention agencies.
We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. Please call us on 0818 92 77 11 for details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies.

Safety Net - Terms & Conditions
- These shall be considered On Demand Services. You are advised to check the most up to date prices and terms and conditions associated with these services before using such services.
- Vodafone uses filter controls for internet access via Vodafone's network. Sites are filtered for both age-classified and inappropriate content. To filter sites Vodafone looks at the nature of the internet site, the age of the customer trying to access the site and the, external classification of the content on the site. We use all reasonable endeavours to control access as stipulated in this clause and should one of the filters fail to prevent access we will do our best to rectify this as soon as possible.
- References in this document to "customers" or "account holders" are references either to the person having the contractual relationship with Vodafone for communications services or (in the case of business customers) their nominated account controller as notified to Vodafone from time to time.
- References to "users" are to any person using a Vodafone Customer's mobile device (e.g. children may be users of phones provided to them by their parents where the parent is still the account holder), employees may be users of phones where their employer is the account holder).
- Vodafone's age verification process is designed to prevent minors accessing inappropriate content. Vodafone will validate the age of its customers in all agent stores. To benefit from this process, Customers need to bring a valid passport, driving licence or National Identification card into a Vodafone Store. Vodafone will then verify their age using this identification and will register this age profile accordingly.
- Vodafone's access filter works by applying commercially acquired third party lists of categorised URLs (web sites) to the network and restricting access to those sites based on predefined user profiles. Subject to section 8 below, the profile applied to an individual mobile number will be determined by the account holder.
- Vodafone will not be liable to you for any errors or omission that may arise as a result of any incorrect setting of an age profile for an account, the making available of a handset/mobile device with a profile that is not suitable for the person to whom the device is given, or the inclusion or omission of particular URLs (web site addresses) from the third parties 'filter lists'.
- Vodafone may amend the nature of the content categories or specific URLs that are available within particular profiles from time to time. Such changes to profiles' access rights will occur without notice to customers.
- The "minor" profile will be applied to all Vodafone customers' accounts that are recorded as under eighteen (18) years of age on Vodafone's systems. The profile will automatically change to "adult" once the minor reaches the age of 18. It is the responsibility of the customer/account holder to alter this profile as and when required. Any user who thinks that an incorrect profile has been applied to their account should contact Vodafone for further information. Changes will only be made upon the instructions of the account holder OR changes will be made upon user request unless the user is a minor. Changes from a "minor" profile to a less restrictive profile will require the Customer to visit a Vodafone store so that the age verification procedure can be followed.
- Account holders may request that users of their account be provided with a minors profile if they so wish, whether or not the user is a minor.
- It is the account holder's responsibility to ensure that a suitable profile has been selected for each of its users. It remains the responsibility of the account holder (whether as employer, parent, guardian or otherwise) to ensure that the profile applied to a user's phone account is correct and in keeping with the account holders wishes.
- Vodafone may create new profiles or modify existing profiles from time to time. Vodafone will advise customers of new profiles that are available by posting the relevant information on its website www.vodafone.ie.
- You are expressly advised that access to all content, whether Vodafone content or that of a third party, may be restricted based on the access profile selected.
- Given the nature of the internet Vodafone cannot accept any liability for any content that may be accessed by users. Sites that have not been categorised by Vodafone or its third party list suppliers will not be blocked until such time as they are classified. Ultimately proper control of the mobile device and internet access is the responsibility of parents, guardians and employers.
- Vodafone will not be responsible for any site that is incorrectly or believed to be incorrectly categorised.
- If you have any concerns regarding any content or the categorisation of any site (including any site that you operate) queries should, in the first instance be referred to www.vodafone.ie/reportasite/ .
- Please be aware that the following products/services are not currently filtered by Vodafone's access controls:
- infrared, Bluetooth, MMS, SMS and Instant messenger content transfer from peer to peer
- Office, ISP & HTTPS via Mobile Connect, Airpack and Blackberry)
- Vodafone Email
- Vodafone will only accept original and valid passports, driving licences or national age verification cards as proof of age for its age verification procedures.
- The accounts of minors (including their profiles) may only be accessed or altered by those persons who have successfully registered as the parent or guardian of the minor in question in accordance with our Parental Access policy.
- Please refer to the "Parents Safe Usage" and the "Secure & Safe Practice" Guides for more information on mobile phone procedures.

Limitations of the Service
You are responsible for the cost of your device and connection. Vodafone may modify system requirements for the Service and or Service features or functionality at any time.
We are not legally responsible for the operation of any device that you use to access the Service. For the Service to work over the Vodafone Home Broadband, your device must be switched on and connected to your Vodafone Home Broadband. For the Service to work over the Vodafone Mobile Network, your device must be switched on, with your Vodafone SIM inserted and you must be connected to the Vodafone Mobile Network.
The Service is designed and intended for smart devices.
The Service does not backup your data, for example photos or contacts. The Service is only available when you are connecting via your Vodafone Home Broadband or, the Vodafone mobile Network, it will not work when you are connected via anything that isn’t the Vodafone Mobile Network or your Vodafone Home Broadband, such as non-Vodafone networks or other WiFi networks. It is not intended to protect against security threats introduced by hardware, such as SD cards.
Non-Vodafone Wi-Fi routers and certain Vodafone Wi-Fi routers do not support Parental Controls and the Cleaning Tool. The routers which support Parental Controls and the Cleaning Tool may be updated from time to time and you should check https://n.vodafone.ie/protecting-you/secure-net.html to see if your router supports Parental Controls and the Cleaning Tool. If you experience any issues when using the Parental Controls or Cleaning Tools with a Vodafone router, please visit contact us using one of the ways set out on: https://n.vodafone.ie/support.html.
Some Wi-Fi routers use two separate Wi-Fi networks. In order to ensure Parental Controls apply to the smart device while the user is using either one of these Wi-Fi networks, you will need to create a separate child profile for the smart device for each Wi-Fi network. You can do this using the Secure Net Portal or the Secure Net app.
The Cleaning Tool is only available for Android devices. It is not supported on IOS devices (such as the iPhone or iPad).
Devices that have a non-Irish SIM card (for example, a UK operator SIM card) installed cannot log in to the Secure Net app and will not be able to use features that are available in the Secure Net app, such as the Cleaning Tool. To use the Secure Net app, you will need to remove your non Irish SIM card. The Secure Net app should then be available to use.
Vodafone Pay As You Go mobile customers must have a Mobile Bill Pay or Fixed Broadband line with their Vodafone account, in order to be able to activate the Service on their Pay As You Go mobile service.

Apart from in the situations set out below, the Service protects you when using your data enabled apps and we will alert you by SMS or RCS push notification (through the SecureNet App) if we block content or a download. The Service may not protect you:
· When using apps with a proprietary form of encryption e.g. WhatsApp;
· When using apps or browsers which have an embedded (pinned) certificate, and ‘white listed’ sites;
· If you change your APN;
· If you use a VPN service;
· If you’re not connected in your Vodafone Home Broadband or the Vodafone Mobile Network (e.g.: Non-Vodafone networks or other WiFi networks);
· If you’re connected to internet through a tethered connection, where the mobile line providing the tethered connection is not protected by Secure Net.
· If you tether your connection and share it with other users from your household, your own protection policies will apply but not that user’s protection policies (e.g.: if a child profile uses a parent’s hotspot they will stay protected against threats however they will not have the child profile specific content access restrictions applied to their browsing);
· Where a proxy service is used;
· Any email protocols;
· When using a download manager, or when your download is paused for an extended length of time;
· Where you change your device’s DNS (Domain Name System) settings (e.g.: changing the DNS to a public/non-ISP one; using DoT or DoH; usage of “anonymiser” services like Tor; or usage of services that are called directly at IP level, not via a domain);
· When using a service that otherwise masks your IP address, performs DNS URL resolution over the HTTPS protocol, or encrypts non-encrypted traffic. This may include some versions of iCloud Private Relay.
Vodafone cannot guarantee the correct operation of the Secure Net application should subscribers apply specific configurations to, or install special software on their devices to use a DNS service other than the Vodafone DNS, or if subscribers use special software to alter their device’s identifying attributes.

This is your mobile device insurance policy for loss, theft & accidental damage. In this document you will find everything you need to know about your cover. Please read this carefully to make sure this policy is right for you and if you have any questions call us on 0818 92 77 11. This policy constitutes an agreement between you and the insurer, Assurant Europe Insurance N.V. The insurer has appointed Sedgwick Ireland to administer the policy. References to ‘we/us/our’ relates to Assurant Europe Insurance N.V., Sedgwick Ireland and Vodafone. No advice has been given about this insurance product.
Who is this cover designed for?
This policy is designed for people who have a mobile device provided by Vodafone that is not already covered under another insurance policy and you want to cover the cost of repairing or replacing your mobile device against loss, theft and accidental damage. Successful claims are subject to an excess payment by you and you should take this into consideration when deciding if this policy is suitable for you.
You must be at least 18 years of age at the time you purchased this insurance and have a Vodafone airtime contract (i.e. a mobile voice/ data monthly subscription) in place throughout the duration of this policy.
Having insurance does not mean that you can take risks with your mobile device which you would not take if your mobile device was not insured as doing so may result in your claim being declined. Further details can be found in the section ‘What you are NOT covered for’.
What you are covered for
Insurance cover worldwide for the mobile device purchased from Vodafone and registered with us which must be owned by you in the event of:
- Loss
- Theft
- Accidental damage
If your mobile device is accidentally damaged we will either repair or replace it. Accidental damage is where an unforeseen event has caused the physical damage to your device which prevents it from working correctly
If your mobile device is lost or stolen we will replace it.
Worldwide cover is for single trips outside of Ireland up to a maximum of 30 days
Replacements
- Where we replace the mobile device the replacement may be a remanufactured (not brand new) device.
- We will attempt to replace your device with one of the same colour but we can’t guarantee to do this or replace any limited or special edition mobile devices
- If we cannot replace your device with one of the same make, model and specification we will contact you to discuss alternative mobile devices of similar specification.
If you are unable to provide the damaged mobile device to support your claim for a damage incident, then this will be classified as a lost mobile device claim.
Where we send you a replacement or repaired item, this will only be sent to an Irish address.
What you are NOT covered for
Excess - You need to pay a contribution every time you make a successful claim, this is the excess. The amount of the excess charge will be €65.00 for the first successful claim and €75.00 for any subsequent successful claim made within 12 months of the first claim.
Not taking care of your mobile device - Taking care of your mobile device means:
- Not knowingly leaving your mobile device somewhere it is likely to be lost, stolen. Just think would you leave your wallet or purse there?
- If you need to leave your mobile device somewhere then we expect you to lock it away out of sight if at all possible. If you cannot lock it away then you must leave it with someone you trust or concealed out of sight in a safe place.
- Making reasonable enquiries to find your device if you think you have lost it.
If you knowingly leave your mobile device where others can see it but you cannot and your mobile device is then lost or stolen we may not pay your claim. Some examples of previous declined claims include:
- in a cafe or pub you leave your mobile device on the table when you go to the bar to pick up your drink instead of taking it with you.
- leaving your mobile device on display in your car or leaving your mobile device in the care of someone you don’t know well.
- if you are at the gym and you leave your mobile device on a bench in the changing rooms rather than taking it with you or storing it in a locker.
- intentionally damaging your device.
All of these examples increase the risk of it being lost, stolen or damaged and may result in your claim being declined. The examples are to help you understand what’s covered, and are not the only reasons a claim could be rejected.
Other losses - We don’t cover any loss of profit, opportunity, goodwill or similar losses. We just cover the mobile device.
More than 2 claims in a 12 month period - When we have settled the second claim then this policy will automatically cancel. For example if you make your first claim on the 1st January, you are limited to only one more claim up until 1st January the following year. The policy will cancel on the date on which we settle your second claim.
Breakdown – Cover is provided where the physical damage to the device has been caused by an unforeseen event. If the failure of the device is just as a result of a fault (whether covered by a manufacturer warranty or not) which has developed over time then this is not covered by this policy.
Cosmetic damage - We only cover damage if it stops the normal functioning of your mobile device. If it is just a scratch or dent, and your mobile device still works as expected, then we will not repair or replace it. For example, a scratched screen would not be covered but a cracked screen would be covered.
Contents of your mobile device - We only cover the mobile device, we don’t cover the contents. This means that any pictures, software, downloads, apps, music or any other content is not covered by this policy so make sure you back it up regularly.
Unauthorised network charges (calls, data etc.) - You should report the loss or theft of your mobile device to Vodafone as soon as possible to limit unauthorised network charges (calls, data etc.) as this is not covered under this insurance.
Modifications - If your mobile device has been modified in any way we will only replace the mobile device, we do not cover the modifications that have been made. Modifications are anything that changes the way your mobile device looks or operates from the original specifications. This includes things like adding gems, precious metals or making software changes such as unlocking your mobile device from a network.
Actions you will need to take on the loss or theft of your mobile device
Tell Vodafone as soon as you can – It is important to block your device and SIM card with Vodafone Care as soon as possible to avoid any unauthorised network charges (calls, data etc.). You can do this by calling 1907 from a Vodafone mobile or 1800 22 55 88 from any other phone.
Tell the Gardaí or local police authority about any stolen mobile device as soon as you can and obtain a reference number - We will ask you to provide the reference number before we will pay any claim for theft. If you have difficulty reporting your incident to the Gardaí please contact us and we can provide advice on what to do.
Report any loss or theft to the place you believe your mobile device has been lost or stolen from - Often mobile devices are handed in to the place they were found at. We expect you to report the loss or theft of your mobile device to the place you think it was lost or stolen from or is most likely to be handed back to. We may ask you to provide the details of where your handset was lost or stolen from and actions you have taken to try to recover it.
How to make a claim
Please read the “Actions you will need to take on the loss or theft of your mobile device” section if relevant as we may need information from you in order to settle your claim.
Step One – Call us as soon as possible on 0818 92 77 11
Step Two – We will walk you through the simple claim process and tell you what information you will need to provide for us to assess your claim.
You may be asked to complete a claim form or provide additional information in order to progress your claim. Failure to do so may result in your claim being delayed
Step Three – Pay the excess, this will be added to your Vodafone network bill
Step Four - We will either repair your mobile device or send you a replacement. In the event of your mobile device being lost or stolen we will blacklist the mobile device to prevent it from being used.
What you need to know about the claims process
- If you are claiming for a damaged device and we need to provide you with a replacement, we will not be able to send you the replacement device until we have been able to confirm that any locking mechanism has been removed (e.g. Find My iPhone).
- If we are unable to replace your device with the same make and model, we will contact you to discuss an alternative claim settlement.
- If any lost or stolen devices are recovered after the claim is approved, they shall become the property of the insurer and must be returned to us immediately.
- Damaged mobile devices, parts and materials replaced by us shall become the property of the insurer.
- In some instances we may arrange to deliver your replacement device at the same time as collecting your damaged device. If you return a device or item other than the insured device we will either recover the replacement device, block the replacement handset to prevent it from being used and/or recover the cash value by adding this to your Vodafone network bill. The action taken will be at our sole discretion.
What if your claim is rejected?
If you’re not happy with the claim decision, we want to hear from you as soon as possible. Please follow the complaints process.
Fraud
We do not tolerate any aspect of fraudulent activity. We work closely and share data with other insurers, law enforcement agencies, fraud prevention agencies, public bodies and airtime providers to identify fraud and support prosecution where appropriate evidence exists.
If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified then we may:
- Reject the claim and we may cancel your policy. If an excess has been paid this will be returned.
- Report you to relevant authorities and take legal action, if necessary, to recover any money already paid to you under this insurance policy.
- Pass the details on to your network or our distribution partner providing this service as part of a wider offering.
- Share details of the fraudulent claim with a number of industry wide fraud prevention databases. A list of participants and the name and address of the operators are available on request.
- Pass details to fraud prevention agencies.
We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. Please contact us at 0818 92 77 11 for details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies.
