The promises

Every promise in Very's terms

Price promiseNo deadline statedTakes a few steps

Pay off balance at old interest rate if new rate is rejected

Requires contacting the company to negotiate a repayment period, not a single-message self-service claim.

“If you are given notice of an interest rate increase but you do not want to accept the new higher rate, you may reject the new rate and instead pay off your account balance at the original interest rate over a reasonable period of time, which we will determine with you.”Very terms, Credit Agreement Clause 14 / Interest
What to include: account number, notice of rate increase
Replacement or repairNo deadline statedTakes a few steps

Unlimited repairs under Protect - Repair Monthly/Annual

Claim submission is described as an easy online process but still requires fault assessment by insurer.

What to include: policy number, proof of purchase, claim details
Replacement or repairNo deadline statedHarder to claim

Appropriate remedy for faulty items

The remedy is undefined and left to company discretion, likely requiring human judgement on repair, replace or refund.

“If an item is faulty please contact us and we will arrange an appropriate remedy.”Very terms, Terms 4.5
What to include: order id, description of fault
Replacement or repairNo deadline statedHarder to claim

Replacement for accidentally damaged, broken down items

Claims require calling or writing to the Insurance Claims Department and are subject to human assessment against exclusions, so an agent cannot self-serve this via order data alone.

Cancel or reconfirm order if pricing/description error found

Requires the company to first flag an error and contact the customer before the cancellation option becomes available, so an agent cannot initiate it unilaterally.

What to include: order id
Right to cancelClaim within 30 daysTakes a few steps

End agreement if a term change is not to your benefit

Requires giving notice and paying off the full balance before the change takes effect, a multi-step process rather than a single message.

“We will give you 30 days written notice of the variation where any such change is not to your benefit. You may end this agreement by giving us notice and paying us the full outstanding balance before that change takes effect except in the case of an increase in the interest...”Very terms, Credit Agreement Clause 19
What to include: account number, notice of variation
RefundClaim within 180 daysTakes a few steps

6 months free insurance refunded on Very Pay statement

Refund is automatic but conditional on account status each month, which an agent would need to verify rather than simply request.

“Buy Protect - Repair Monthly insurance with this item and add to your Very Pay credit account. ... The monthly premium and a refund of it will show on your statement each month for the first 6 months.”Very policy page, Get 6 months FREE insurance offer
