A processing fee must be paid before receiving a repaired or replacement device. The fee is non-refundable.
What fees will be charged for my service request?
A subscription to the Mobile Device Protection Program costs $11.00 per month. The monthly premium is billed by Likewize on the credit card you provided when you registered. Payment information can be changed at any time in your online account.
The deductible for all other damage repairs, or for replacement, as well as other additional charges vary depending on the retail price of the device at enrolment.
For more details, consult the Program Overview on the Likewize website.
Additional fees - Conversion:
If you submit a service request for mechanical or electrical damage and it is revealed during inspection to be a case of accidental damage, you will be billed a service request conversion fee up to $360.00 plus taxes. Any reclassification as accidental damage must be accepted by the parties involved.
Additional fees - Non-return of device or locked device:
The damaged or defective device must be returned to Likewize within 30 days of receiving the replacement. In addition, you must disable the passcode on the device so that it is unlocked, otherwise you may be charged a fee of up to $1,500.00.
Cost of shipping
Note that in Canada, the cost of shipping your replacement device the day following your accepted service request, is included in the Mobile Device Protection Program. If a service request is approved on a Friday before 5 p.m., Mobile Device Protection Program subscribers can request Saturday delivery for their replacement device for an additional fee of $20 plus tax.

Replacement devices are often new but on occasion may be refurbished. While refurbished devices look and function just like new, they may have minor cosmetic flaws and contain non-original manufacturer parts and accessories. If the exact make and model are not available, your replacement device will be of like kind and quality.
All replacement devices come with a 12-month replacement warranty. If you experience any problems with this device, you must contact Likewize. Any service requests related to the replacement device will not be counted towards the total service requests for accidental damage, as allowed by the Mobile Device Protection Program if, after inspection, the damage is considered to have been covered by the 12-month guarantee offered by Likewize.
Once you receive your replacement device, you must return the defective device. To simplify this process, postage paid packaging will be sent along with your replacement device. Please return your damaged device within 30 days following the reception of your replacement device. If we do not receive the damaged device, you will be charged an unreturned device fee.
You must unlock your mobile device. If your device is still locked when received (due to remote tracking activated on your mobile device or any similar application), you will be charged an additional locked device fee.
It is also recommended to back up your photos and other personal information, remove your SIM card as well as any memory card (if applicable), and perform a complete reset of your device.
