Insurance & Warranty
CCI Protection Plan
All CCI laptops have available a comprehensive protection plan that exceeds the coverage available under standard homeowners insurance and your manufacturer’s warranty. This protection plan covers theft, accidental damage and damage from a power surge, fire or natural disaster while in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Your policies include a low $100 deductible per incident.
For ThinkPads, this coverage is provided by combining accidental damage coverage from Lenovo called ThinkPad Protection and all other coverage from Safeware. ThinkPad Protection already includes international coverage. However, to extend your insurance coverage when traveling outside the US, Canada and Puerto Rico please contact Safeware to purchase an international rider.
For MacBooks, all coverage including accidental damage is provided by Safeware. To extend your insurance coverage when traveling outside the US, Canada and Puerto Rico please contact Safeware to purchase an international rider.
