Protection For Up To 12 Months 

heliguy™ Repair Refresh can be purchased up to five days after the receipt of your drone. 

As soon as Repair Refresh is purchased, the time and date are automatically logged and activated by heliguy™, linking it to your original drone purchase details.

heliguy™ Repair Refresh covers your equipment in the event of the following events:
  • Accidental damage
  • Water damage
  • Damaged during transit
  • You damage your equipment on holiday (free shipping for your Repair Refresh claim only applies when claiming from the UK).

Your Repair Refresh period lasts for 12 months from the date of purchase. If you make a claim within the 12-month period, the cover immediately expires at the point of successful repair or replacement.

heliguy™ Repair Refresh does not cover lost or stolen equipment. heliguy™ suggests contacting your insurance company for this kind of cover.

If a drone suffers a crash, and flight logs show that the pilot's stick manoeuvres indicate an intentional or reckless crash, then cover will not be valid on this occasion.

Repair Refresh is available to people outside of the UK, but international shipping is not included in the cover.
