Overwatch x Rescue Plan

Upgrade to the Overwatch x Rescue (OxR) Plan in SPOT My Account to protect against expenses related to an emergency situation. The OxR plan reduces and, in many cases, eliminates the financial exposure tied to a rescue. OxR has no monetary limits for response and no elevation limitations for those that like to mountain climb. Standard benefits include no cost response to hazardous summer and winter sports; point of incident medical evacuations to the nearest appropriate medical facility, to include ground ambulance and rescue helicopter expenses; search and rescue costs; the visit of a family member or friend if you become hospitalized while traveling abroad; response to natural disasters; riots, strikes and civil commotion; and so much more.

Additional Considerations 

All pricing quoted above excludes VAT. The SPOT Trace device requires an active service subscription to properly perform tracking functions. All subscriptions auto-renew at the end of the contract term.

*Enrolment in any Flex Plan is subject to a €34.95 (Excl. VAT) Annual Flex Charge that is collected once per year at renewal, even if the device is suspended at that time. This Flex charge allows you to suspend the service at any time during the year without activation fee recurrence when turning service on again. All Flex Plans have a one month minimum term.

All Annual Contract Plans are 12 month terms with the option of monthly payments or one annual upfront payment. **All Annual & Flex plans are subject to a one-time €29.95 (Excl. VAT) activation fee. Early termination of the service agreement will require a customer to pay an Early Termination Fee to the amount of 100% of the outstanding balance of the contract, plus the full amount of any credits issued during the Term (including promotions).

Offer applicable to end-customers only, not SPOT API VAR's. Offer limited to 3 activations at a time per customer.

SPOT works around the world, including virtually all of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, portions of South America, portions of North and South Africa, North-East Asia and hundreds of miles offshore of these areas.

Estimated coverage area. Actual coverage may vary. Success rates are forecasts for a SPOT messenger to successfully deliver a single message during a 20-minute period, based on network availability. Additionally, in everyday conditions it is normal for some messages to be blocked by your environment, such as hills or buildings. That’s why the SPOT Messenger is scheduled to automatically send multiple messages in every mode – giving you excellent overall reliability.
