We will refund the difference in the claim cover charges if requested (within 28 days of booking). If you select cover for an item on the restricted and prohibited items list, or for a higher amount than is allowed on the list, this does not mean that WPS have entered into a contract to that level of cover, even if we have not refunded the claims cover payment.."
