You love your product and it is more likely to fail as it is used.

Electronics Hardware Technology is getting hugely integrated and complex. In out of warranty conditions, the cost of repairs (Labor Charges + Cost of Parts) are very high; many times it becomes unaffordable forcing you to scrap it and buy a new product. And in some cases, due to non-availability of certain parts with your manufacturer, you have no option but to buy a new product.

You may have also come across situations when a product malfunctions multiple times which not just irritates you but no one comes to the rescue; so you are forced to scrap the same.

InfyShield Service Plans provides protection against such high costs and prohibitive situations by extending the services with a low fixed cost. We don't stop there: if due to any of the above reasons, there is a need to replace the product, we bear the cost. InfyShield Service Plans therefore get you Total Protection.

Yes, InfyShield Extended Warranty Service Plan covers all internal electrical and mechanical parts which are necessary for the product to function when you use your product with care and under your manufacturer’s operating guidelines & environment.

It is important for you to know that damages or defects caused by unauthorized repair, incorrect installation, theft, burglary, accident, negligence, intentional damage, abuse or misuse of the product, fire, use on an incorrect voltage, power dips, poor environmental operating conditions, household pets, rats, cockroaches or any other animals or insects, Force Majeure etc. are not covered.

The Extended Warranty Service plans also do not cover accessories, consumables, external items etc. e.g. external cables, toner, cartridges, batteries, chargers, adapters etc. Specific exclusions related to certain products may also apply.

You must read the terms and conditions of your Service Plan before requesting for service. Those services and parts which are not covered in part or full in the Service Plan are charged extra.

For any doubts or clarifications, please feel free to contact us.

We all love our products and take care of them but there are unforeseen situations when despite due care, accidents happen. In many a situations, the products get damaged.

Even during Warranty period, the damages due to an accident are not covered by the manufacturer of your product; and the repair costs are high. It may also happen the product may become irreparable or it is economically unviable to get the product repaired.

These InfyShield Accidental Damage Protection Service Plans are Great Solution for you; especially for products that are portable e.g. Mobile Phones, Tablets, e-book Readers, Laptops, Cameras etc. and are a MUST have.

As the Service Plan type suggests, InfyShield Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) takes care of product malfunction when they are damaged due to an accident.

These plans also cover all internal electrical and mechanical parts which are necessary for the product to function but the cause of their malfunction is an established condition of an accident.

The plans also do not cover accessories, consumables, external items etc. e.g. external cables, toner, cartridges, batteries, chargers, adapters etc. Specific exclusions related to certain products may apply. You must read the terms and conditions of your Service Plan before requesting for service.

I noticed there is a InfyShield Screen Damage Protection (SDP) Service Plan also? What is that and how is it different from Accidental Damage Protection Service Plan?

A Great observation indeed. We have curated Service Plans suiting various needs of our esteemed customers.

The SDP covers the most failing parts in situations of the accident i.e. the Display / screen. You know that the cost of the Display or the screen is much higher than any other part (in many cases it is more than 2/3rd of the cost of the whole product). In general, the SDP covers the Display / screen only while ADP covers all other internal parts of the products (please refer to the answers under section ADP and also refer to the service plan details as there may be multiple options).

This is an important question. Here's what you should consider:

  • Review whether you actually need a service plan e.g. you should check whether your product is covered under some other service plan or insurance.
  • Short term service plans are costlier. For example, a one year extended service plan and renewing it for another year will be costlier than directly buying a 2 years Extended Warranty Service Plan.
  • Buy the service plans at the first available opportunity. The Accidental Damage Protection plan cannot be purchased at a later date and buying the Extended Warranty Plan at the time of product purchase will be cheaper than buying the same towards the end of the standard warranty period.
  • Look at the profile of the promoters of the warranty provider. Professionals in the customer service industry will be most suited to understand your service needs. Don't fall for the wrong warranty service provider.
  • Be careful and read all inclusions and exclusions i.e. what is covered and what is not covered under your selected InfyShield Service Plan.

If you have any questions or concerns, you must share them with us. You should buy the Service Plans only after assuring yourself on your purchase.

All Extended Warranty Service Plans can be purchased only within a specified limit, normally within 6 months from the date of purchase of your product.

All Accidental Damage Protection or Screen Damage Protection Plans or any plans which have such coverage can be bought only on the same day of product purchase; and must not be damaged or defective at such time.

We recommend you to buy InfyShield at the very first available opportunity i.e. at the time of purchasing your product itself to save costs.

The whole objective of InfyShield Service Plans is to provide you uninterrupted services to your product in case it develops a defect or is accidentally damaged.

Services under InfyShield Extended Warranty Service Plan commence from the very next day when your product manufacturer's warranty expires.

Services under Accidental Damage Protection / Screen Damage Protection Plan commences in 7-15 days (please check the terms at the time of buying the service plan) from the date of purchase of your product unless your product is already covered for Accidental Protection by the manufacturer. In such a case the Accidental Damage Protection Plan shall also start from the very next day the manufacturer’s coverage expires.

It is simple but before you panic and call us, we recommend you to check that the malfunctioning of your product is not due to external sources like network signals, incorrect settings, internet connectivity, improper power supply etc. This will help you resolve the problem quickly.

We recommend you going through your InfyShield Service Plan as these vary. In some of the plans, you may avail multiple services while some are limited with numbers and / or by the value.

This is an unlikely situation because services are normally rendered by Brand Authorised / Technically competent Service Centres only. However, in such a situation, we will replace your product with an equivalent model with similar or better specification of same or similar make at our own discretion as per terms and conditions of the Service Plan document, whose value cannot be more than “the original product purchase price or the prevailing market price of such a product” minus the cost of services already delivered; the depreciation & salvage value will apply as per your service plan.

The service delivery depends upon availability of service centres in your area. The services for remote / un-represented areas are dealt in the same manner as the manufacturer of your product delivers such service in warranty or out of warranty. In special situations, we on the best efforts basis may deliver services in such areas which attract extra charges. There might also be some extra time required to service your product.

The standard answer is NO but under exceptional circumstances, we at our sole discretion may permit the same. We do advise that the owner of the product should only use the product and seek a claim. However, if you have sold a product to another person, then the transfer is not permitted.
