Are damages due to accident, fire, flooding, electrical overload (surge) / lightning strike, or theft covered?

If you purchase at SquareTrade.com directly, you get the option to add accidental damage coverage. Check at SquareTrade.com for the exact coverage. I'm sure theft won't be covered.

I would say probably not. Your homeowner's or renter's policy might cover that type of damage.

I have never used it for accidental damage but I recently read where it does cover two instances of accidental damage but there is a $45 up front charge. But again I haver never used it for that. It's great for tech support. If you have a problem and can figure out what's wrong you are free to call them at any time with a charge.

no this is only for damage - for loss you would have to contact your insurance company to see if they cover it. I don't know any extended warranty that covers loss.

I have a power surge protector -- just in case there is a lightning storm and if it knocks out the motor I will not be a happy camper.An extension of this arrangement means, a UPS may work. I see why not. Principle is the same. Actually, a UPS is a smart move.

Warranties are through the manufacturer not Amazon. So yes you get I believe one years warranty but consumers should always read the warranties to know exactly what is covered and what is not. Customer damage is never covered on any product it must be an electrical or mechanical failure due to manufacturing. go to the manufacturer Web site and check their warranty policy. Hope this helps.

DamnYankee: I really think this is a question for the Square Trade people. Telephone number 877-927-7268. I purchased the accidental damage coverage. It does not specifically mention screen damage it just says "Plan includes damage from item drops, liquid spills or other accidental damage.

I can't speak to accidental damage, but they were excellent to deal with when my camera seriously malfunctioned. I will not hesitate to buy their coverage another time. I would suggest calling the company and asking them directly about the coverage you are concerned about. Cameras are so complex these days, I think insurance coverage is a "no brainer".

Section 11 states that the product is protected against operational failure resulting from a power surge while properly connected to a surge protector. You may be required to provide your surge protector for examination. However...section 9, "WHAT IS NOT COVERED", states that improper electrical/power supply (as in, not using a surge protector), will not be covered. I'm sending you a short version of what I already sent to Amazon feedback, just in case. As I said, good luck!!

Go to squaretrade.com and check I do not believe so! Now they will no longer cover accidental damage as well!

It doesn't. The claim works well for Belkin to sell what they call surge protectors. If you read through the comments you will see that 1) people's equipment is damaged when a surge goes through these surge protectors, and 2) Belkin denies damage claims from customers who had faith in the company.

if you here a mum please check to see if it had a lightening strike. Thats what happen to ours. It took the strike and saved the entertainment system. We relaced it with another Monster Power strip.

No - they have a separate plan for "drops and spills" that covers accidents. Neither plan covers theft.

No surge protection. It barely weighs anything. Not sure about the shielding. It's basically just a cheap power strip. If that's all you want then you will be satisfied.

To the best of my knowledge, the warranty covers mechanical and/or electrical failures only. It is not an "accident" plan (i.e. you drop and break it) nor does it cover wear and tear.

it needs to be replaced because it took an electrical surge to protect your equipment

If it were, it would be prominently listed as approved. Since it's not, and if a fire were to occur in your house, your insurance would most likely not pay for the damage. If you still wanna use them, I might suggest using only a "UL approved" transformer, which will make them a bit safer.

Basic 1year warranty, accessories etc. not covered, doesn't apply to fire, flood, dropped, sand/water, tampering, or mishandling
