ORANGE CARE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (with effect from 1 August 2009)

 

INTRODUCTION TO ORANGE CARE

 

"Orange Care" is a package of benefits available to owners of Orange approved and Orange branded phones. There are two parts to the package:-

 

(1) The Insurance - the first part is insurance cover provided by Allianz Insurance plc (the "Insurer") which, in summary, covers against theft of, loss of or damage to a phone, subject to the detailed terms and conditions set out below.

Orange arranges this insurance on behalf of the Insurer. Orange also collects the insurance premiums and handles claims on behalf of the Insurer. Where You have Orange Care for more than one phone, each phone is the subject of a separate contract of insurance with the Insurer.

 

(2) The Warranty - the second part is a warranty product provided by Orange itself which, in summary, provides cover against defects in a phone caused by faulty materials or workmanship, subject to the detailed terms and conditions set out below. This warranty is additional to, and does not affect, the legal rights that an Orange customer may have under the general law against the retailer of the phone or under any separate warranty offered by the manufacturer of the phone.

 

An administration fee may be payable in respect of successful claims under Orange Care - see numbered paragraphs 5.11 and 9.6 and 9.7. Details will be set out in Your "Confirmation of Insurance Cover" document.
