IMPORTANT CHROMEBOOK INFORMATION: 

If you’re sending in a Chromebook for repairs, deprovisioning is important. If your device hasn’t been deprovisoned by your team, it cannot be fully tested and repaired by a technician. This could lengthen the time for repair or result in the inability to thoroughly test the success of a repair. 

After your school Chromebook has been fully repaired and returned, it can be re-enrolled and assigned to its original owner.

Q: How will my claim be handled?
A: Once a claim has been approved, our Solution Center experts will let you know what’s needed in order to obtain service. Depending on the type of device and coverage purchased, the claim will be handled in one of the following ways listed below:

Carry-In: You may be instructed to take your device to one of our local Authorized Service Partners. Covered products must be delivered and picked up by the customer, and you should only take your device to one of these locations once your claim has been approved.

Depot: If you are not near one of our Carry-In locations, you may be provided with a shipping label to send your device for repair to one of our specialty depot partners. Make sure your product is properly protected with bubble wrap or other protective materials, as damage in transit is not covered. Safeware is not responsible for and has no liability for products damaged in shipping. Once a depot repair is completed, your repaired product will be mailed back via 2-day shipping.

Cash Settlement: If your device is deemed unrepairable for any reason, you may be eligible for a cash settlement of your contract. The funds from a cash settlement will be credited to your CDW account and can be used on any future device purchases.
