Accidental Damage Protection (Service Fee)

Accidental Damage Protection (Service Fee)

We offer "Accidental Damage Protection" with an additional service fee for customers who have purchased an extended warranty with their phone since May 2022. This offer covers user damage such as cracks, chipped glass and dents which are not normally covered by our standard warranty. Upon approval and payment of the service fee, we will arrange a free express return for an identical replacement phone by email. Please see below for service fee pricing details, which are based on the device price you paid on the date of purchase.


Device purchase price under $500 = $109 service fee

Device purchase price from $501-$1,200 = $209 service fee

Device purchase price from $1,201 and higher = $309 service fee

Please contact us to make an Accidental Damage Protection claim. Please attach clear photos of the damage from another device if possible. The service fee invoice we will send you must be paid in full before we can arrange a return.

- Liquid damage and unauthorised third party repairs void our accidental damage protection offer. If you have already paid the service fee and your claim is rejected, we will refund you.

- The returned device must be identifiable via its unique IMEI or serial number, and in repairable condition. We cannot accept returns with missing components, or devices that are unrecognisable.

- Customers are limited to one Accidental Damage Protection claim per device. A second claim cannot be placed on the replacement device. 

- Ownership of the extended warranty and Accidental Damage Protection cannot be transferred between customers. OzMobiles is not liable for lost user data.

- Extended warranties apply to one phone per order. Please add additional extended warranties for each phone on the order if additional coverage is required.

- Accidental Damage Protection is for phones only and cannot be applied to other items such as tablets, laptops or accessories. 

- If you pay the service fee, you are agreeing to receive an identical replacement device if we have stock at the time of assessment, or an OzMobiles store credit for the current price of an identical model if we don't. We cannot provide refunds on user-damaged returns, and cannot guarantee that we have identical stock. We can only offer store credits/model changes if we don't have identical stock available. Store credit values may be lower than your original purchase price, since phone prices drop over time.

- Your accidental damage protection service ends when your 24 month warranty expires.
