- If 2degrees finds that the trade in device has been reported lost or stolen, 2degrees will assist the police to locate the device and return it to its rightful owner and your personal details will be delivered to the police. In such instance, you agree that the Quoted Value paid by 2degrees for the lost or stolen device to you will need to be refunded in full and you authorise 2degrees to reverse the payment applied for the lost or stolen device from your 2degrees interest free contract or added to your next post-paid 2degrees bill.
