You can buy a SquareTrade warranty on a retail item within 90 days of item purchase. This applies to warranties both with and without accidental damage coverage.
For an eBay item, the purchase window is 30 days following the end of the auction, whether or not you've received the item. The 30 day mark is a firm deadline because of our contract with our insurer -- generally, we cannot make exceptions.
You can get a full refund on your policy at any time within the first 30 days. You can also cancel your policy after 30 days, but the refund will be pro-rated.
Our friendly refund policy means you don’t have to worry about taking a risk by purchasing a Care Plan early. If your item doesn’t arrive, or doesn’t arrive in working condition, or you decide for any reason that you don’t want the warranty, just let us know and we’ll gladly refund you the money paid for the warranty. After all, we’re here to help reduce your risk.
