We don’t enjoy rejecting claims, but it’s a necessary evil effort. That’s because some behaviour goes against the T&C’s you’ve agreed to. Here are some of the usual deal-breakers:

  • Fraud, dishonesty, or misrepresentation.

  • Loss you caused deliberately.

  • Wear and tear, mildew, corrosion, or gradual deterioration.

  • Damage from insects, pests, or pets.

  • Issues from cleaning, dyeing, or accidental scorching.

  • Malware or software viruses.

  • Sun damage or climatic changes.

  • Items confiscated by lawful authorities.

  • Using items for business when not declared.

  • Breakdown due to defects, design, or construction flaws.

  • Damage covered by a service contract or guarantee.

  • Overseas purchases not declared at customs.

  • Domestic disputes.

  • No visible forced entry (for items stolen, including from vehicles).

  • For cellphones: not blacklisting with EIR/IMEI.
