| [Other] Warranty covering my nexus 4 Hey guys.
Since this morning, i've been thinking seriously about the purchase i did at the Source.
I bought a brand new Nexus 4 there alongside getting a new contract. Everything went well up until he offered a warranty for the phone. First, He told me that he could cover for 70$ any kind of defect with my phone for 3 years, which means anything aside water damage, physical damage, etc. I declined that offer.
But then he goes on and offer me something called an "advanced" warranty, which for 120$, cover ANY kind of defect, including drops (in other words, physical damages) and water damage. On top of it, he told me that i could make them change the battery only once during the time of my warranty (but i read somewhere that the nexus's 4 battery is not removable?).
So to summarize the offer, 1 battery and water/physical/defect damage covered for 3 years, for 120$.
I was really happy to get my nexus that day so i kind of accepted without much thinking.
Now i'm wondering if i wasn't scammed. On my invoice, it says that i did pay for something that cost 120$, that starts on 14/03/2013 and ends on 14/03/2016.
But nowhere on the invoice itself is wrote what is covered or what the warranty is for. I'm a little worried about that... Should i?
All in all, could you guys recommend advice on what to do for now? Should i keep the warranty? Or get me refunded? I believe i have up to 14 days to get anything - including the contract - refunded to me. So i guess i could always just make them refund my warranty only to me.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your advices,

kudos:2 | Go back to the location you purchased it from (never heard of "the Source" is that the name of the store?) and get the warranty flyer. It will have all the terms for the warranty.
If you are wondering about the price... the 2 year squaretrade plan is $125 and has a $99 deductible so if the warranty is valid then you got a steal for 3 years with accidental.

I forgot to precise, i live in canada.
Here is a link to the store : »www.thesource.ca/
I'm not really wondering about the price, but more about what it covers. I doubt they have any flyer there as it is quite a small store.
And since i've read this, i'm worrying even more : »fabulouslyfrugirl.wordpress.com/···-part-1/ |

Appears to be for one of their plans.
To be honest they are pretty vague see section 7...
edit: also the post you referenced appears the author did not get the "plus" just the extended.
edit2: to be fair most extended plans are bunk... but accidental damage coverage I tend to like. I generally go with squaretrade as they seem to live up to their promise... but IF that accidental damage plan would end up giving you another nexus 4 or better you cannot beat the price for 3 years coverage. |

Nice find!
They are indeed vague as of section 7. It is unclear if they cover accidental damage or not. Furthermore, what do they consider to be "light damage" ? It always depend how your phone ends up hitting the floor and at what angle :/.
While it would be great to "really" have my phone covered during 3 years for accidental damage, i don't think i want to take the chance to get scammed for 120$ or a phone. Because let's say i end up dropping the phone and i can't use it anymore, what do i do if they don't replace it? I would be losing both the warranty's value and the nexus 4. |
