Saudi: Insurance Authority warns against unlicensed ...
Saudi Arabia’s Insurance Authority has warned that only licensed and duly registered insurance companies may offer extended warranty products in the country. The notice cautions consumers about unlicensed warranty sellers and emphasizes compliance with consumer protection standards for such extended warranty/insurance-like offerings.
If AppleCare+ (or its local marketed version) is considered an “extended warranty” activity under Saudi insurance/warranty rules, providers and sellers may need to operate through a licensed, registered insurance company and follow required consumer protection standards. This could affect how Apple (or its partners) structures, sells, and markets AppleCare+ in Saudi Arabia, potentially requiring local licensing/partnering and limiting distribution via non-licensed resellers.
