The Apps are provided to you by Vodafone Sales and Services Ltd, registered in England and Wales at Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 2FN, under registered number 06844137 and registered VAT number GB 569 95 32 77.

BY USING THE APPS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. If you choose not to agree with any of these terms, you may not use the Apps.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR ANDROID PHONES ONLY A TWO STEP PROCESS MIGHT BE NEEDED TO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES:  (1) you dial the emergency services number and press the call button which will then direct you to your native keypad where (2) you must press the call button again.  There is also an option to press “Emergency Call” in the Call+ dialler which will take you directly into your native keypad where you will then need to dial the emergency services number as usual.

You may use third party applications within the App (“Third Party App”) which will allow you to further enrich the features of the Apps.   Because any Third Party App is developed by a party other than Vodafone, please make sure you have read through the Third Party App terms and conditions to ensure you are familiar with how any Third Party App that you may use works and how your data may be used by the Third Party App.  You understand and agree that Vodafone is not responsible or liable for the behaviour, features or content of any Third Party App.

2. Using the Apps

The Apps are an enriched calling and integrated messaging service that will allow you to:

a) add rich features to your calling experience provided by Vodafone, such as to send and receive files (for example, pictures, video, audio, vCards and your location data (the “Content”)) during a call, or share certain Content such as location before or after the call; and

b) send and receive messages with your content (“Instant Messaging”), (the “Service”).

To be able to use the enriched features of the Apps, you and your contacts need to have a Rich Communication Services (“RCS”) compatible client supporting enriched calling features, and both have data enabled

If you and your contacts have a Rich Communication Services (RCS) compatible client and both have data enabled, your messages and files will be sent and received over the internet (Instant Messaging), otherwise messages and files will be sent via SMS and MMS in accordance with your carrier’s plan (save for iOS devices where the message will not be delivered unless both you and your recipient have RCS and have an active data connection).

Depending on your device, Message+ could:

a) show when you and your contacts are active or when they have been last active,

b) show who is currently typing and when a message has been sent, delivered and read.

c) enable you to share your location with your recipients by selecting the ‘share location’ feature.

Group chat only works with RCS enabled contacts who are currently active on Message+ (Online-Group Chat).

You are responsible for your messages and any Content that you share, so make sure that they comply with all laws which may apply. In particular, you must make sure that your messages and Content are not harmful or offensive and that you own all rights to the Content you send to your contacts. You should not share music or video files unless you own all rights in these. Sharing music or video without the permission of the copyright owner is unlawful.

To be able to use either of the Apps you will need to have both Call+ and Message+ installed.

Please be aware that any attachment to the message shared through Message+ (such as pictures, audio or video messages) will be automatically stored in your handset (even if the related message has been deleted ) until you manually delete it from your handset.

To use the Apps, you must be 16 years old or more, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and be able to enter into these terms.

4. Your information

So that we can operate the Apps, troubleshoot them if you have a problem, and optimise and improve its performance, we use your information in the following ways:

  • We collect your mobile phone number, email address and, only with your explicit consent, we collect names, phone numbers and email addresses from your address book for the sole purpose of providing the Service (eg. To ensure notifications for messages you receive are shown with the name of the sender as it is shown in your address book).
  • We collect some information about your phone and your use of the Apps (for example, language, device and usage statistics).
  • The Apps are designed to work with the services offered by your local operator, part of Vodafone’s global network. We share some information with your Vodafone operator so that we  can operate and promote the service.
  • We will share some information with your Vodafone carrier and get some information back from them: your mobile number and other information about your tariff and the services available to you.
  • The Apps shows your current status to other users on the messaging service:  you will appear ‘online’ or, depending on the device, when you have last used Message+ as the date and time of your last access will be displayed. You can disable  the last active functionality at all times by going to ‘Settings’ and unchecking the ‘Last active’ option.

You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your mobile phone. Although we will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for the losses caused to us or others due to such unauthorized use.

5. Cost

The Apps are provided to you free of charge. You will not be charged for installing the Apps. Unless you are using a Wifi connection, you will be charged according to your carrier plan for the use of data to download the Apps, and for the messages and Content that are sent and received over the internet. Where an internet connection is not available your messages will be charged as SMS. The voice calls made through Call+ will be charged per minute according to your carrier plan. We would recommend that you purchase an integrated price plan.

6. Ending or changing the Apps

You can stop using the Apps at any time. Depending on the device type, you might also be able to uninstall or deactivate the Apps from your device.

We may suspend, end or change the Apps immediately for any reason, including where repair or maintenance work is needed.

Not all of the Apps’ services will work with all mobile equipment – you will need to check that your mobile equipment is compatible with the Apps before you register. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage that we or you could not reasonably expect at the time you first began to use the Apps or which is out of our control. We will also not be responsible for:

1. any loss or damage arising as a result of any content which you upload, store or share;

2. any content or services provided by another person or organisation;

3. any loss or damage that you could have avoided or reduced by being careful or taking reasonable steps; or

4. any loss of, or corruption to your content or other data if that loss or corruption is not caused by us or is out of our reasonable control

8. General terms

We may allow another person to perform any of our obligations under these terms on our behalf. You agree that we may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another Vodafone company. If we transfer our rights and obligations to any other third party, we will let you know. If any of these terms cannot be enforced by any court or other authority we will delete it from these terms and and it will not affect the rest of the terms. We may send you notices by email, text, post or on our website. We can change these terms at any time by posting the amended terms on http://www.vodafone.ie/terms.

These terms and the provision of the Apps will be governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be dealt with by courts of England and Wales subject to any applicable law which provides a different jurisdiction for you as a consumer.

Stay Mobile Damage Only Insurance (from 14 November 2018)

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 General Insurance Limited. The insurer has appointed Outsource Services Group Limited to administer the policy. References to ‘we/us/our’ relates to Assurant General Insurance Limited, Outsource Services Group Limited 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 purchased from Vodafone 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.

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, 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.

 

What you are NOT covered for (continued)

 

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.

Price of your insurance

The price of this insurance is based upon the model and type of device you purchased. The monthly premium will be collected by Vodafone on behalf of the insurer Assurant General Insurance Limited and is added to your Vodafone network bill. The amount you pay for this insurance is confirmed on your welcome letter and also by viewing your online bill at Vodafone.ie/mybill

 

Duration of this Policy

This insurance has a three month minimum term beginning on the day you purchase the insurance. You can cancel this insurance within 14 days of receiving these terms and conditions without paying any extra fees or charges and the first month’s premium will be refunded. Please refer to the “Cancelling your insurance” section for more information. After this three month minimum term this insurance policy will continue to run on a monthly basis until one of the following events happens:

• You contact us to cancel the insurance.

• You fail to pay the monthly premium.

• You cease to have a Vodafone airtime contract.

• The insurer cancels the insurance.

• In the event 2 successful claims are made in a continuous 12 month period.

 

Otherwise the insurer can cancel your insurance by giving you 30 days’ written notice to your last known address or an email to the email address you provided.

 

Choice of law

Irish law applies to this policy and only the Irish Courts will have any jurisdiction in any dispute. It’s written in English and all communication with you will be in English.

 

Brexit continuity clause

The insurer strives to provide you with certainty, convenience and continuity of cover for your insurance needs.  With a view to ensuring (insofar as is possible) that this will also be the case in the event of the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit), this clause sets out the insurer's agreement with you as to the options you are satisfied with following Brexit (currently scheduled to take place in March 2019).

If, following Brexit: 

1.    The insurer will no longer be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to insure the risks covered by your policy, or to service your policy (for example by paying your claims), the insurer may: 

a.    Put in place replacement cover for you with another reputable insurer within the insurer's group (and you hereby consent to the insurer acting on your behalf in order to do so). The replacement cover will be on identical terms to this policy (unless otherwise agreed by you with the insurer or the replacement insurer). Premium that you have already paid for the current policy term will be split appropriately by the insurer and the replacement insurer and no action is needed from you in that regard. The replacement insurer will provide directly to you, any new contact details you will need for the purpose of claims, complaints or queries regarding the policy. or;

b.    Terminate/cancel your cover/policy.  The insurer will only do so as a last resort and if the option under clause 1a above is not available or if it is no longer commercially feasible/practicable for the insurer to continue to provide your cover.  The insurer will use all reasonable effort to ensure that the replacement cover referred to in clause 1a above is put in place, before considering termination/cancellation of cover.  The insurer would, of course, provide you with advance notice if this was to happen and it would also be open to you to cancel your insurance (in advance of the end date for cover) in the usual manner permitted by your policy if this is what suits you best, in that eventuality. 

2.    The insurer will be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to continue with your cover/policy, but it is reasonably necessary to make adjustments to your cover/policy in order to do so, the insurer may unilaterally amend the conditions that apply to your policy. For example, changes that may be needed to the manner in which your claims monies are paid to you or the way in which the insurer or its agents contact you or service your policy.  The insurer will only make unilateral changes if Applicable Law and Regulation will make this reasonably necessary or desirable.  Where such changes are to occur, the insurer (either directly or through its agents) will let you know in advance and you may of course cancel your insurance in the usual manner permitted by your policy if you wish.

Whether this clause is triggered or not, any claims outstanding on your policy will be dealt with as provided for under your policy (subject as always to Applicable Law and Regulation).

 

If we need to change the terms of the policy

In the event that the insurer needs to change the terms, we will give you 30 days’ notice in writing to your last known address, or email to the email address you provided. This will only be for valid reasons such as to respond proportionately to changes in the law or decisions of the Financial Services Ombudsman, to meet regulatory requirements, industry guidance or codes of practice, to proportionately reflect other legitimate cost increases or reductions associated with providing the cover.

 

Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty has been or will be paid to the Revenue Commissioners in accordance with the provisions entered into with them under section 5 of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999.

 

Statement as to Monies Payable

Vodafone Stay Mobile Extra Insurance (from 14 November 2018)

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 General Insurance Limited. The insurer has appointed Outsource Services Group Limited to administer the policy. References to ‘we/us/our’ relates to Assurant General Insurance Limited, Outsource Services Group Limited 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

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, 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 €75.00 for the first successful claim and €125.00 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.

 

 

What you are NOT covered for (continued)

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.

 

Other losses - We don’t cover any loss of profit, opportunity, goodwill or similar losses. We just cover the mobile device.

 

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.

 

Price of your insurance

You can cancel this insurance within 14 days of receiving these terms and conditions without paying any extra fees or charges and the first month’s premium will be refunded. Please refer to the “Cancelling your insurance” section for more information.

Choice of law

Irish law applies to this policy and only the Irish Courts will have any jurisdiction in any dispute. It’s written in English and all communication with you will be in English.

 

 

Brexit continuity clause

The insurer strives to provide you with certainty, convenience and continuity of cover for your insurance needs.  With a view to ensuring (insofar as is possible) that this will also be the case in the event of the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit), this clause sets out the insurer's agreement with you as to the options you are satisfied with following Brexit (currently scheduled to take place in March 2019).

If, following Brexit: 

1.    The insurer will no longer be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to insure the risks covered by your policy, or to service your policy (for example by paying your claims), the insurer may: 

a.    Put in place replacement cover for you with another reputable insurer within the insurer's group (and you hereby consent to the insurer acting on your behalf in order to do so). The replacement cover will be on identical terms to this policy (unless otherwise agreed by you with the insurer or the replacement insurer). Premium that you have already paid for the current policy term will be split appropriately by the insurer and the replacement insurer and no action is needed from you in that regard. The replacement insurer will provide directly to you, any new contact details you will need for the purpose of claims, complaints or queries regarding the policy. or;

b.    Terminate/cancel your cover/policy.  The insurer will only do so as a last resort and if the option under clause 1a above is not available or if it is no longer commercially feasible/practicable for the insurer to continue to provide your cover.  The insurer will use all reasonable effort to ensure that the replacement cover referred to in clause 1a above is put in place, before considering termination/cancellation of cover.  The insurer would, of course, provide you with advance notice if this was to happen and it would also be open to you to cancel your insurance (in advance of the end date for cover) in the usual manner permitted by your policy if this is what suits you best, in that eventuality. 

2.    The insurer will be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to continue with your cover/policy, but it is reasonably necessary to make adjustments to your cover/policy in order to do so, the insurer may unilaterally amend the conditions that apply to your policy. For example, changes that may be needed to the manner in which your claims monies are paid to you or the way in which the insurer or its agents contact you or service your policy.  The insurer will only make unilateral changes if Applicable Law and Regulation will make this reasonably necessary or desirable.  Where such changes are to occur, the insurer (either directly or through its agents) will let you know in advance and you may of course cancel your insurance in the usual manner permitted by your policy if you wish.

Whether this clause is triggered or not, any claims outstanding on your policy will be dealt with as provided for under your policy (subject as always to Applicable Law and Regulation).

 

 

If we need to change the terms of the policy

In the event that the insurer needs to change the terms, we will give you 30 days’ notice in writing to your last known address, or email to the email address you provided. This will only be for valid reasons such as to respond proportionately to changes in the law or decisions of the Financial Services Ombudsman, to meet regulatory requirements, industry guidance or codes of practice, to proportionately reflect other legitimate cost increases or reductions associated with providing the cover.

 

Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty has been or will be paid to the Revenue Commissioners in accordance with the provisions entered into with them under section 5 of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999.

 

Statement as to Monies Payable

All payments which become due or payable shall be payable in Ireland

Vodafone Stay Mobile Standard Insurance (from 14 November 2018)

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 General Insurance Limited. The insurer has appointed Outsource Services Group Limited to administer the policy. References to ‘we/us/our’ relates to Assurant General Insurance Limited, Outsource Services Group Limited 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

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, 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.

 

 

What you are NOT covered for (continued)

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.

 

Price of your insurance

The price of this insurance is based upon the model and type of device you purchased. The monthly premium will be collected by Vodafone on behalf of the insurer Assurant General Insurance Limited and is added to your Vodafone network bill. The amount you pay for this insurance is confirmed on your welcome letter and also by viewing your online bill at Vodafone.ie/mybill

 

Duration of this Policy

This insurance has a three month minimum term beginning on the day you purchase the insurance. You can cancel this insurance within 14 days of receiving these terms and conditions without paying any extra fees or charges and the first month’s premium will be refunded. Please refer to the “Cancelling your insurance” section for more information. After this three month minimum term this insurance policy will continue to run on a monthly basis until one of the following events happens:

• You contact us to cancel the insurance.

• You fail to pay the monthly premium.

• You cease to have a Vodafone airtime contract.

• The insurer cancels the insurance.

• In the event 2 successful claims are made in a continuous 12 month period.

 

Otherwise the insurer can cancel your insurance by giving you 30 days’ written notice to your last known address or an email to the email address you provided.

 

Choice of law

Irish law applies to this policy and only the Irish Courts will have any jurisdiction in any dispute. It’s written in English and all communication with you will be in English.

 

Brexit continuity clause

The insurer strives to provide you with certainty, convenience and continuity of cover for your insurance needs.  With a view to ensuring (insofar as is possible) that this will also be the case in the event of the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit), this clause sets out the insurer's agreement with you as to the options you are satisfied with following Brexit (currently scheduled to take place in March 2019).

If, following Brexit: 

1.    The insurer will no longer be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to insure the risks covered by your policy, or to service your policy (for example by paying your claims), the insurer may: 

a.    Put in place replacement cover for you with another reputable insurer within the insurer's group (and you hereby consent to the insurer acting on your behalf in order to do so). The replacement cover will be on identical terms to this policy (unless otherwise agreed by you with the insurer or the replacement insurer). Premium that you have already paid for the current policy term will be split appropriately by the insurer and the replacement insurer and no action is needed from you in that regard. The replacement insurer will provide directly to you, any new contact details you will need for the purpose of claims, complaints or queries regarding the policy. or;

b.    Terminate/cancel your cover/policy.  The insurer will only do so as a last resort and if the option under clause 1a above is not available or if it is no longer commercially feasible/practicable for the insurer to continue to provide your cover.  The insurer will use all reasonable effort to ensure that the replacement cover referred to in clause 1a above is put in place, before considering termination/cancellation of cover.  The insurer would, of course, provide you with advance notice if this was to happen and it would also be open to you to cancel your insurance (in advance of the end date for cover) in the usual manner permitted by your policy if this is what suits you best, in that eventuality. 

2.    The insurer will be permitted by Applicable Law and/or Regulation to continue with your cover/policy, but it is reasonably necessary to make adjustments to your cover/policy in order to do so, the insurer may unilaterally amend the conditions that apply to your policy. For example, changes that may be needed to the manner in which your claims monies are paid to you or the way in which the insurer or its agents contact you or service your policy.  The insurer will only make unilateral changes if Applicable Law and Regulation will make this reasonably necessary or desirable.  Where such changes are to occur, the insurer (either directly or through its agents) will let you know in advance and you may of course cancel your insurance in the usual manner permitted by your policy if you wish.

Whether this clause is triggered or not, any claims outstanding on your policy will be dealt with as provided for under your policy (subject as always to Applicable Law and Regulation).

 

 

If we need to change the terms of the policy

In the event that the insurer needs to change the terms, we will give you 30 days’ notice in writing to your last known address, or email to the email address you provided. This will only be for valid reasons such as to respond proportionately to changes in the law or decisions of the Financial Services Ombudsman, to meet regulatory requirements, industry guidance or codes of practice, to proportionately reflect other legitimate cost increases or reductions associated with providing the cover.

 

Stamp Duty

Stamp Duty has been or will be paid to the Revenue Commissioners in accordance with the provisions entered into with them under section 5 of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999.

 

Statement as to Monies Payable

All payments which become due or payable shall be payable in Ireland.

Vodafone's ‘Internet-in the Car’ Service

Last updated:

30 January 2018

Welcome to the Vodafone Internet in the Car Service (the ‘Service’).

The Service enables drivers and passengers to make use of internet connectivity provided by a Vodafone SIM embedded into your vehicle. This can be accessed through the Wi-Fi hotspot in the vehicle or (depending on your vehicle model) the in-dash applications. You can use the Service in any vehicle which is equipped with suitable hardware. 

The Service is available to you if you normally reside in the Republic of Ireland or you have a stable link that requires you to have a frequent and substantial presence in the Republic of Ireland.  By accepting this agreement and purchasing a data bundle, you confirm you are a Republic of Ireland resident or have a stable link to the Republic of Ireland, and where it is reasonable for us to request it you agree to provide us with a valid document to confirm your residence.

The internet connectivity is also available in a number of other countries. The number of countries supporting Internet in the Car will grow over time, and is subject to change. Please go to internetinthecar.vodafone.com for the latest list and for further information on this service.

The Service will commence when you register for Internet in the Car on the registration portal, and accept these terms and conditions.

You might be entitled to a free use of the internet connectivity as detailed on the registration portal (the ‘trial’). To continue using the Service after the end of the trial, you will be prompted to purchase data bundles.

Vodafone will have the final decision on all device(s) values.

5.     Vodafone Ireland recommends that you read the Terms & Conditions in full, as they are designed to ensure you receive your Trade In value in full and on time, depending on the condition of your “device” (ie handset/phone or tablet). Accepting these Terms & Conditions are a condition of using the Trade In service in our retail channels. By using this service and completing the sale of a device in a Vodafone retail store, you acknowledge and accept these terms.

Consumers

In these terms, "consumer" means an individual who is not a business, not holding themselves out as a business nor selling devices in the course of a business. By engaging in the Trade In process you agree that:

·       You are resident in Ireland and

·       You are at least 18 years old and

·       You own the device(s) that you wish to sell.

·       You are making a new purchase of a device as part of the transaction.

·       If you are a consumer, these terms will not affect any rights you may have under any law and which we cannot exclude.

Businesses

By engaging in the Trade In process within a Vodafone business channel, you warrant that:

·       You are based in Ireland and

·       You are authorized to act on behalf of the business

·       The device(s) are owned by the business.

All mobile phone dealers, stock lists and specialist retailers and distributors of mobile phones are excluded from the offers on this site unless a specific exception has been agreed in writing with us or our distributor and Trade In management company Fonua.

Customer Obligations

1.     Your device(s) and SIM/memory cards can contain private information, and may enable unauthorized use of mobile network services. It is the responsibility of the customer to remove the SIM card and any content or data from the device(s) before trading in their device(s) Vodafone.

2.     If you fail to remove your SIM card or remove any data or content from your device(s), you agree that we are not responsible for any claims, losses or damages relating to the use of the SIM card or any data or content arising before, or after we receive the device(s).

3.     Please note that for your security we will destroy any SIM cards or Secure Digital (SD)/memory cards upon receipt of your device(s).

4.     Vodafone cannot take responsibility for protecting any information on the device(s) and it is not possible for you to obtain any content from the device(s), whether stored on the device(s) or memory card, once a transaction has been completed. We strongly recommend you back up such information/content before trading any device(s) with us.

Full Working Order

All trade in devices must be in full working condition and meet the following criteria:

·       The device(s) must be complete with no missing, damaged, or cracked parts (e.g. a stylus for touch screen phones should be included if the phone was originally supplied with one). 

·       The device(s) should be fully functional. The device(s) should power up, and should be free from PIN locks. The device(s) should be capable of making and receiving a call. All functionality must work (e.g. Bluetooth, Camera, Wireless). All control buttons (on/off, volume, navigation) and all buttons on the keypad must work. All connection sockets, microphones and speakers should work, and the (IMEI) label should be intact.

·       The device(s) must be free from cosmetic damage. The display should be clear and fully intact. There should be no fading, no pixels missing, no cracks and no bleeding on the screen. Touch-screens should be free from major scratching and chips. The back cover should also be free from any major cosmetic damage or cracks. Small amounts of wear and tear are acceptable.

·       The device(s) must be free from moisture damage (and signs of moisture damage as signified by the manufacturer’s moisture damage indicators). Please note that any liquid that gets inside your device(s) will cause serious permanent damage. Sometimes device(s) will continue to work after liquid has entered but more than likely will stop working within 1 or 2 months. There are tell-tale indicators on some device(s) alerting engineers to moisture damage. Please consult your device’s user manual.

·       The device(s) must be unlocked from any security locks. In the case of Apple iPhones, the “Find My iPhone” functionality must be deactivated.

·       If the device(s) has a flip or slider mechanism, it should open and close properly. If your device(s) do not met the above criteria, the value will be reduced. We do not accept accessories such as chargers, headsets or the original box as they do not increase the potential value of your device(s).

·       The device(s)cleared of all personal content. We recommend you back your information up before you trade in your device. For your security we wipe any remaining data from the device and destroy sim/memory cards.

·       If your device suffers from any damage it may affect the final value. Our prices are continually checked against other market leaders so you can be sure of getting a competitive price.

Payments

Payment for your returned device(s) is offered via a Vodafone retail voucher, or via a “credit to bill” function.

We provide payments via a Vodafone Retail voucher which can be used:

·       to deduct the price of your new device

·       to deduct the price of an accessory or

·       to deduct the price of Pay As You Go call credit or bill

The voucher can be used after the sale once Proof Of Purchase (ie a receipt) is supplied. “Credit to bill” allows you to have your Trade In value credited towards your mobile phone account, which will be credited to your next bill, depending on your bill day.

Lost, Blocked, Stolen or Fake devices

1.     Lost, Blocked or Stolen devices are devices that have been reported as either lost, blocked or stolen in any of the stolen asset registers maintained by CheckMEND which is operated by Recipero Limited at www.checkmend.com.

2.     Devices which are “Lost, Blocked or Stolen” will be dealt with in accordance with Irish law; devices will be held pending a claim from the Gardai Siochana, an insurance company or the registered owner and no amounts will be paid to the person who presents such device(s) to us.

3.     "Fake Devices" are counterfeit devices which are manufactured to resemble products made by another company in breach of copyright and intellectual property rights. We will make no payments to customers for Fake devices, which can be identified by their production quality and IMEI numbers.

4.     We will inform the relevant authorities if there is any suspicion that there is a deliberate attempt to commit fraud. We may reclaim any money paid to you or a business if it is discovered within three (3) months of the return of a device that the device has either been reported "lost, blocked or stolen" by the (seller of the device,) or the device is discovered to be a Fake Device.

5.     All devices that are returned are subject to a check performed by “Checkmend”, using the unique device identifier (the “IMEI”). If the device(s) is flagged as having been reported stolen, lost, or as part of fraudulent activity, then Vodafone will not be in a position to accept the device and will recommend that you contact the Checkmend service directly.

6.     We may refuse to pay for any devices which we believe are derived from "Box breaking". Our definition of "Box breaking" is where a business or individual purchases devices with the intention of reselling the phone and no intention of using the device and SIM card together, as was the original intention of the mobile phone network whose SIM card was provided with the device.

Your personal information Data Protection

The security and protection of your personal information is extremely important to us. We collect and use your personal information to complete the purchase process and contact you as part of the services we provide. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information about why and how we store and use your personal information). We sometimes use other companies to provide the logistics services, and we may need to pass some personal information to these companies, however Vodafone is still responsible for your information. None of your personal details will be shared with any other organisation without your express permission. Vodafone Ireland and Fonua are registered under the Data Protection Act as processors of personal information.

 

Events Outside Of Our Control

Unfortunately sometimes things happen which we cannot control. Vodafone and Fonua will not be liable or responsible to you for any failure or delay in providing the services or meeting any of our obligations under these terms caused by events outside of our reasonable control, or due to our compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.

Where you hand a Vodafone employee or one of its agents a device(s) for the purpose of a Trade In transaction, this shall constitute an offer by you to sell the device(s) to Vodafone. No contract will be formed until we have accepted your offer. A Trade In transaction is not initiated until a follow-on purchase of a device is planned. Our acceptance may be in one of two ways:

1.     by making a payment of a Vodafone Retail voucher* to you in accordance with the "Payments" section above; or via the “Credit to bill” function, or

2.     if a payment amount is agreed in writing between us.

Once the device is handed over and payment made, the device cannot be returned under any circumstance.

*Please note that Vodafone Retail vouchers have an expiry date of 12 months after issue.

Information on Trade In and other general matters

We will not be liable for any loss of use, profits or data or any indirect, special or consequential damages or losses, whether such losses or damages arise in contract, negligence or tort, or otherwise in relation to:

1.     your use of, reliance upon or inability to use this service;

2.     any circumstance that is outside of our reasonable control; and

3.     any loss or damage that is not directly caused by us or which we could not reasonably expect at the time we entered into our agreement with you. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury, fraud or any other liability which we may not by law exclude or limit.

4.     In all circumstances our maximum liability to you shall be the current value of your handset.

These terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Irish law and you and we both consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
