My appliance is one year old. Can I rely on the Extended Warranty insurance?

In the first 24 months after the purchase, you must rely on the statutory Warranty provided by the manufacturer of your appliance. The Extended Warranty insurance only takes effect if your appliance breaks down after the statutory Warranty period has expired. The cover applies only if the malfunction is also covered by the original manufacturer's 24-month Warranty. The Extended Warranty insurance linked to your Keytrade Bank Visa Gold card extends the original manufacturer's Warranty by 24 months.

Which goods are covered under the Extended Warranty insurance?

The insurance covers 'white goods' and 'brown goods' newly purchased in Belgium and paid for fully with your Keytrade Bank Visa Gold card. Used goods or goods you bought on an auction site are not covered. The insurance takes effect after expiry of the manufacturer?s statutory Warranty period, which is 24 months. If your appliance breaks down in the first 24 months after purchase, you are advised to contact the manufacturer or distributor. You can find the list of all covered goods here
