Things to know about your XCover Protection

What am I covered for with Product Protection?

Depending on your item, you may be covered for accidental damage, defects and stains as well as mechanical breakdown during normal wear and tear. To find out more about your specific protection, you can view your policy wording during the checkout process or log in to your XCover Account to view your policy wording after purchase.

How do I purchase XCover Product Protection?

You can add XCover Protection from the Cart for qualifying items before you check out on outdoorplay.com.

How long is my item protected?

If you’ve purchased product protection, your protection starts on the day of purchase, and it’s valid for the period that’s shown in the wording and certificate. To access your protection wording, login to your XCover Account.

If you’ve purchased shipping protection, your item is protected for the duration of delivery. Your XCover Shipping Protection ends when the item has been successfully delivered.

To get started, simply find the confirmation email from XCover in your inbox and click the link to set up your XCover Account.

Is my XCover Protection tied to the specific item that I purchased?

Yes, that's correct. When you purchase an item and the corresponding XCover Protection, the coverage is specific for that item, as policy prices vary depending on the cost of the item you purchase. This means the policy can't be substituted for another product, even if it's the same make and model. Your item is mentioned in your policy wording (it can take up to three days after purchase to show). To view the wording or make changes, just login to your XCover Account.

Is there a deductible?

There is no deductible.
