The Coverage continues through the ordinary course of transit until your shipment is delivered and unloaded at the designated destination. Provided you have already declared the detailed breakup of the sum insured item-wise, it begins at the time your shipment begins packing. If your goods were already packed or in storage when you requested protection, it begins at the time HappyLocate receives your request and issues you the policy document. In no case will coverage begin before the packing of your belongings start or before transport from storage begins, whichever happens first.

For items that have a special value attached, a valid certificate from an authority, established under the legislation, shall be produced to us, post which it will be purely on our discretion if we will proceed with its inclusion in assurance programs. If no verified document is provided to us by you or the document provided by you fails our verification process, your item will be either insured as a standard item and the insured value will be communicated to you or the item will be kept out of the scope of assurance. Please note that HappyLocate does not relocate items like Luxury Watches, Jewellery, etc via our standard services. Even if such items are relocated via our standard services, we take on the accountability of their safe relocation.

Repairable Damaged Goods are those that can be repaired and brought back to near original condition and the cost of doing so is less than the cost of the new item if replace. In the cases of such damages, the surveyor designated by our Insurance partner will inspect the damages and ascertain the fair amount that should be required to conduct the repairs, provided the same is equal or less than the sum insured/depreciated value of goods (whichever is lower). Whenever the surveyor feels that the repair requires professional/rare skills, we will rely on the quote given by the manufacturer or a reputed professional/agency. Such a quote will have to be submitted by you. Irreparable damaged Goods are those where the goods/assets are better scrapped/disposed of rather than repaired as the cost of the same is higher than the cost of the new item. In such cases, you will be provided with compensation that will be good enough to buy a brand-new variant of the good (s) damaged. Do note that the compensation will be provided to replace only the same/identical variant of the damaged product.

HapyLocate Assurance is optional and provided to customers as per the availability for the PIN codes involved in the relocation. In the absence of HappyLocate Assurance, valid insurance will be provided directly by the service partner and terms specific to the policy will be governed by what will be mentioned in the policy document.

Unless stated otherwise, depending on the circumstances, the value of any sort of compensation will be calculated by either HappyLocate or Insurance partner. In any scenario, the final decision on compensation will be communicated by HappyLocate and the same should be final and binding for you.

With each passing day, products lose their value and become depreciated. This impact the value of your insured goods as depreciation is deducible from the original value of your goods. The depreciation is calculated as 20% per year of the invoice value of goods (up to first 5 Years of the life of the product) and 26% per year (>5 years of product). The method of calculation will be Written-Down and will be only computed after a claim has been initiated.

Sum insured is the be the declared value of goods that you want to be insured. This value should generally be equal to the current depreciated value of the commodity insured. This value will be of the utmost importance when the Insurance claim is initiated. The surveyor who will visit the destination to assess the damage will compare sum insured item wise which will automatically reflect on the Total Sum Insured. In case the value of the goods is under-insured - the value of the product is more than the stated sum insured, in that case, while making a payment on any claim the amount will be prorated to the amount of under insurance.

No. Before starting the relocation, a Pre-Dispatch inspection (PDI) is a mandate by the insurer. If your items are packed then they won't be considered for PDI and will be thus kept out of the scope of HappyLocate Assurance.

All the items that are electric and unpacked directly by the mover should be reported for damages/loss before the unpacking team leaves the destination after conducting the unpacking. In the rarest of the rare cases, the details of such damages can be given within 24 hours of unpacking provided a formal approval for the same has been given by a HappyLocate's representative over the email. For all the other damages/loss that might not be immediately cognizable after the unpacking, a maximum of 48 hours can be taken to report the damages. For relocations where unpacking goes for more than 1 day, damages/losses should be reported as per the above clause for a particular day.

Sadly, no. Under no circumstances whatsoever a refund can be initiated if the certificate has been already issued against your relocate. No refund will be made even if you decide to cancel your relocation.

For the rest of 1.5%, while the Insurer and HappyLocate will try their best to arrange the repairs from capable technicians, it will be ultimately your responsibility to get the repair done. In such cases, we will expect you to submit the quote from the authorized service center/manufacturer/expert technician. Depending on the valid claim value of the product, the reimbursement will be issued to you.

In such cases, our service partner will proceed and initiate an FIR post which the same will be used to process the claim as per your declared insured value of goods.

99.5% of such cases will be immediately resolved with an immediate refund being issued to your bank account (as per the value insured for that item). For the rest of 0.5% cases, we will need you to register an FIR in the nearest police station post which the same will be used to process the claim. In such cases, the depreciated value of goods will be provided to you as reimbursement.

It is always advisable to get the quote of repair from an authorized technician. However, a legally valid quote from an expert technician will be approved as well provided that the value quoted is found realistic during our quote verification process. Approval for such quotes will be a final decision of HappyLocate and the Insurance partner and shall be binding to you well.

For the insurance of your vehicle, we will always advise you to initiate your comprehensive motor vehicle insurance claim before initiating a claim for HappyLocate's Assurance Program. For damages/situations that do not completely make your car completely unusable, HappyLocate will only reimburse a value that is a difference between the claim processed through a comprehensive motor vehicle insurance and the total cost of repairs. The actual compensation that we will process is entirely up to the discretion of HappyLocate and should be binding to you as well. If your comprehensive motor insurance will not process any claim for your damages, the same might be applicable in our case as well. Please note that it is important for you to have a comprehensive Insurance Vechicle Insurance Policy in order to enjoy HappyLocate Assurance Cover. If you do not have a comprehensive policy, make sure you report it to us on reachus@happylocate.com. Failure in doing this will make your policy null and void.
