How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS PLAN SHALL NOT PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER LAW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE NON-PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

1. The Plan. 

This service contract (the “Plan”) governs the services provided by Apple under the above-mentioned plan and includes the terms in this document, your Plan Confirmation ("Plan Confirmation"), and the original sales receipt for your Plan. Your Plan Confirmation will be provided to you at the time of purchase or sent to you automatically thereafter. If you purchased your Plan from Apple, you may obtain a copy of your Plan Confirmation by going to mysupport.apple.com/products.

Benefits under this Plan are additional to your rights under applicable laws, the manufacturer’s hardware warranty and any complimentary technical support.

The Plan covers the following equipment (collectively, the “Covered Equipment”): (i) the Apple-branded Mac computer or display listed on your Plan Confirmation (including any Apple-branded stand and/or VESA mount included with or purchased at the same time as your Apple-branded display), and the Apple-branded accessories contained in the original packaging (“Covered Device”), and (ii) an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, and keyboard if included with the Covered Device (or purchased with a Mac mini or Mac Pro), an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Time Capsule, Apple memory modules (RAM) and Apple USB SuperDrive (“Mac Accessories”) if used with the Covered Device and originally purchased no earlier than two years before the Covered Device purchase.

Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and continues through, unless cancelled, the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (the "Plan Term”).

You can find the price of the Plan on the original sales receipt.

2. What is Covered?

2.1 Hardware Service for Defects or Consumed Battery (“Hardware Service”)

If during the Plan Term, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or, in relation to Covered Equipment that uses an integrated rechargeable battery, where the capacity of the Covered Device’s battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will, at its discretion, either (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. 

All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum be functionally equivalent to the original product. If Apple exchanges the Covered Equipment, the original product becomes Apple’s property and the replacement product is your property, with coverage effective for the remainder of the Plan Term. 

2.2 Services for Accidental Damage from Handling (“ADH Service”)

If during the Plan Term you submit a valid claim notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling resulting from an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g., drops and damages caused by liquid contact from spills) (“ADH”), Apple will, at its discretion and subject to the service fee described below, either (i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. Each time you receive services for ADH is a “Service Event”. Exclusions apply as described below. Further, services for ADH expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this Section are discharged and fulfilled in their entirety once Apple has provided to you two (2) Service Events. 

Important: Please refer to Section 3 for exclusions on provision of ADH Service. 

The following service fees apply to each Service Event:

*Fees exclude applicable taxes payable by you

To qualify for the Tier 1 ADH Service Event fee, the Covered Device must have no additional damage beyond the screen-only damage (if applicable) or the external enclosure-only damage that would prevent Apple from repairing the display or external enclosure. ADH damage to the Apple-branded stand and/or VESA mount used with your Apple-branded display will be treated as external enclosure-only ADH Damage. A Covered Device with additional damage will be charged the price of the Tier 2 ADH Service Event fee. 

2.3 Technical Support

During the Plan Term, Apple will provide you with priority access to telephone and web-based technical support for Covered Equipment (“Technical Support”). Your Technical Support coverage starts on expiration of the complimentary technical support cover provided by Apple, which starts on the date you purchase the Covered Equipment. Technical Support may include assistance with installation, launch, configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery (excluding data recovery), including storing, retrieving, and managing files; interpreting system error messages; and determining when hardware service is required or ADH coverage may be applicable. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, the term "Major Release" means a significant version of software that is commercially released by Apple in a release number format such as "1.0" or "2.0" and which is not in beta or pre-release form.

Apple Technical Support is limited to the following: (i) the Covered Equipment, (ii) the Apple-branded Operating System (“macOS”) and Apple-branded software applications that are pre-installed on or designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”), (iii) use of the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software ("macOS Server"), and (iv) connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a computer or device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment. Exclusions apply as described below. 

3. What is not Covered?

3.1 Hardware Service and ADH Service

Apple may restrict Hardware Service and ADH Service to the country where the Covered Equipment was originally purchased.

Apple will not provide Hardware Service or ADH Service in the following circumstances:

(a) to protect against normal wear and tear, or to repair cosmetic damage not affecting the functionality of the Covered Equipment;

(b) to protect against excessive or catastrophic physical damage to Covered Equipment (e.g., products that have been crushed or bent) or excessive or catastrophic damage to Covered Equipment caused by liquid contact (e.g., products that have been partially or wholly submerged in liquid);

(c) to conduct preventative maintenance;

(d) to replace Covered Equipment that is lost or stolen; 

(e) to repair damage caused by reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct, or any use of the Covered Equipment in a manner not normal or intended by Apple;

(f) to install, remove or dispose of the Covered Equipment, or the equipment provided to you while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;

(g) to repair damage caused by a product that is not Covered Equipment; 

(h) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment (regardless of the cause) if the Covered Equipment has been opened, serviced (including for upgrades and expansions), modified, or altered by anyone other than Apple or an authorized representative of Apple; 

(i) to repair pre-existing conditions of the Covered Equipment if you purchased the Plan after you purchased the Covered Equipment;

(j) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment with a serial number that has been altered, defaced or removed; 

(k) to repair damages caused by fire, earthquake, flood, or other similar external causes; or

(l) to protect against damage caused by the presence of hazardous materials, including, but not limited to, biological materials and allergens, that present a risk to human health.

Installation of third-party parts may affect your coverage. As a condition of receiving Hardware or ADH Service, all Covered Equipment must be returned to Apple in its entirety including all original parts or Apple-authorized replacement components. This restriction does not prejudice your consumer law rights.

3.2 Technical Support

Apple will not provide Technical Support in the following circumstances:

(a) For use or modification to the Covered Equipment, the macOS, or Consumer Software in a manner for which the Covered Equipment or software is not intended to be used or modified; 

(b) For issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then-current version;

(c) For third-party products or their effects on or interactions with the Covered Equipment, the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(d) For your use of a computer or operating system that is not related to Consumer Software or to connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment;

(e) For software other than the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(f) For macOS software for servers, except when using the graphical interface for server administration and network management issues on macOS Server on a Covered Device;

(g) For any Consumer Software designated as “beta”, “prerelease,” or “preview” or similar designation; 

(h) For damage to, or loss of, any software or data that was residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment (note: the Plan does not cover the recovery or reinstallation of software programs and user data); or

(i) For third-party web browsers, email applications, and Internet service provider software, or the macOS configurations necessary for their use.

4. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain service or Technical Support by calling Apple or accessing support.apple.com/country-selector. You must provide your Plan Agreement Number or Covered Device serial number. You must also, upon request, present your Plan Confirmation, and the original sales receipt for your Covered Device and your Plan.

5. Service Options. 

Apple will provide Hardware or ADH Service to you through one or more of the following options:

(a) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store location or to an Apple Authorized Services Provider (“AASP”) that offers carry-in service. Service will be performed for you at the store, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple Repair Service (“ARS”) site for service. You must promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers (and many portable computers in Canada) as well as for the Apple-branded display if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge. 

(c) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid waybills (and, if needed, packaging material). You must ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS site in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS site will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if you follow all instructions.

(d) Do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment. This allows you to service your own Covered Equipment. In any case, Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to DIY parts service. If DIY parts service is available, the following process will apply: 

(i) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement Covered Equipment part and applicable shipping costs. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. Apple will ship a replacement Covered Equipment part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Covered Equipment part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Covered Equipment part as instructed or return a replaced Covered Equipment part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount. 

(ii) Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement part accompanied by instructions for installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced part. 

Should you require further assistance, you should contact Apple at the telephone numbers listed below. 

Apple may change the method by which Apple provides repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. 

Service will be limited to the options available in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

6. Your Responsibilities.

To receive service or support under the Plan, you agree to (i) provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, (ii) provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment, (iii) respond to requests for information needed to diagnose or service the Covered Equipment, (iv) follow instructions Apple gives you, (v) update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service, and (vi) back up software and data residing on the Covered Equipment. 

DURING HARDWARE SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT, REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA, AND REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. Apple will return your Covered Equipment or provide a replacement as the Covered Equipment was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install macOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the Covered Equipment from reverting to an earlier version of the macOS. Third-party applications installed on the Covered Equipment may not be compatible or work with the Covered Equipment as a result of the macOS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords.

7. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA OR THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, RESULTING FROM APPLE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PLAN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMIT OF APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES’ AND AGENTS’ LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER ARISING UNDER THIS PLAN SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PRICE PAID FOR THIS PLAN. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (i) IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE COVERED EQUIPMENT WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA, (ii) IT WILL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, OR (iii) THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. 

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, APPLE’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

8. Cancellation.

(b) If you cancel more than thirty (30) days after your receipt of this Plan, you will receive a pro rata refund of the original purchase price. The pro rata refund is based on the percentage of unexpired Plan Term from the Plan’s date of purchase, less (i) a cancellation fee of twenty-five ($25) dollars or ten percent (10%) of the pro-rata amount, whichever is less, and (ii) the value of any service provided to you under the Plan. 

Unless applicable local law provides otherwise, Apple may cancel this Plan for fraud or material misrepresentation, or if service parts for the Covered Equipment are not available, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. If local law permits and Apple cancels this Plan for the unavailability of service parts, you will receive a pro rata refund for the unexpired Plan Term.

Upon the effective date of your early cancellation, Apple’s future obligations under this Plan to you are fully extinguished.

9. Transfer of Plan.

How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS PLAN SHALL NOT PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER LAW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE NON-PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

1. The Plan. 

This service contract (the “Plan”) governs the services provided by Apple under the above-mentioned plan and includes the terms in this document, your Plan Confirmation ("Plan Confirmation"), and the original sales receipt for your Plan. Your Plan Confirmation will be provided to you at the time of purchase or sent to you automatically thereafter. If you purchased your Plan from Apple, you may obtain a copy of your Plan Confirmation by going to mysupport.apple.com/products.

Benefits under this Plan are additional to your rights under applicable laws, the manufacturer’s hardware warranty and any complimentary technical support.

The Plan covers the following equipment (collectively, the “Covered Equipment”): (i) the Apple-branded Mac line of computer models, which currently consist of the MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, and Mac mini computer models, and the Apple-branded accessories contained in the original packaging listed on your Plan Confirmation (“Covered Device”), and (ii) an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, and keyboard if included with the Covered Device (or purchased with a Mac mini or Mac Pro), an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Time Capsule, Apple memory modules (RAM) and Apple USB SuperDrive (“Mac Accessories”) if used with the Covered Device and originally purchased no earlier than two years before the Covered Device purchase.

Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and continues through, unless cancelled, the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (the "Plan Term”).

You can find the price of the Plan on the original sales receipt.

2. What is Covered?

2.1 Hardware Service for Defects or Consumed Battery (“Hardware Service”)

If during the Plan Term, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or, in relation to Covered Equipment that uses an integrated rechargeable battery, where the capacity of the Covered Device’s battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will, at its discretion, either (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. 

All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum be functionally equivalent to the original product. If Apple exchanges the Covered Equipment, the original product becomes Apple’s property and the replacement product is your property, with coverage effective for the remainder of the Plan Term. 

2.2 Services for Accidental Damage from Handling (“ADH Service”)

If during the Plan Term you submit a valid claim notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling resulting from an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g., drops and damages caused by liquid contact from spills) (“ADH”), Apple will, at its discretion and subject to the service fee described below, either (i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.  Each time you receive services for ADH is a “Service Event”.  Exclusions apply as described below. Further, services for ADH expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this Section are discharged and fulfilled in their entirety once Apple has provided to you two (2) Service Events. 

Important: Please refer to Section 3 for exclusions on provision of ADH Service. 

The following service fees apply to each Service Event:

*Fees exclude applicable taxes payable by you

To qualify for the Tier 1 ADH Service Event fee, the Covered Device must have no additional damage beyond the screen-only damage (if applicable) or the external enclosure-only damage that would prevent Apple from repairing the display or external enclosure. A Covered Device with additional damage will be charged the price of the Tier 2 ADH Service Event fee. 

2.3 Technical Support

During the Plan Term, Apple will provide you with access to telephone and web-based technical support for Covered Equipment (“Technical Support”). Your Technical Support coverage starts on expiration of the complimentary technical support cover provided by Apple, which starts on the date you purchase the Covered Equipment. Technical Support may include assistance with installation, launch, configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery (excluding data recovery), including storing, retrieving, and managing files; interpreting system error messages; and determining when hardware service is required or ADH coverage may be applicable. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, the term "Major Release" means a significant version of software that is commercially released by Apple in a release number format such as "1.0" or "2.0" and which is not in beta or pre-release form.

Apple Technical Support is limited to the following: (i) the Covered Equipment, (ii) the Apple-branded Operating System (“macOS”) and Apple-branded software applications that are pre-installed on or designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”), (iii) use of the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software ("macOS Server"), and (iv) connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a computer or device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment. Exclusions apply as described below. 

3. What is not Covered?

3.1 Hardware Service and ADH Service 

Apple may restrict Hardware Service and ADH Service to the country where the Covered Equipment was originally purchased.

Apple will not provide Hardware Service or ADH Service in the following circumstances:

(a) to protect against normal wear and tear, or to repair cosmetic damage not affecting the functionality of the Covered Equipment;

(b) to protect against excessive or catastrophic physical damage to Covered Equipment (e.g., products that have been crushed or bent) or excessive or catastrophic damage to Covered Equipment caused by liquid contact (e.g., products that have been partially or wholly submerged in liquid);

(c) to conduct preventative maintenance;

(d) to replace Covered Equipment that is lost or stolen; 

(e) to repair damage caused by reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct, or any use of the Covered Equipment in a manner not normal or intended by Apple;

(f) to install, remove or dispose of the Covered Equipment, or the equipment provided to you while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;

(g) to repair damage caused by a product that is not Covered Equipment; 

(h) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment (regardless of the cause) if the Covered Equipment has been opened, serviced (including for upgrades and expansions), modified, or altered by anyone other than Apple or an authorized representative of Apple; 

(i) to repair pre-existing conditions of the Covered Equipment if you purchased the Plan after you purchased the Covered Equipment;

(j) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment with a serial number that has been altered, defaced or removed; 

(k) to repair damages caused by fire, earthquake, flood, or other similar external causes; or

(l) to protect against damage caused by the presence of hazardous materials, including, but not limited to, biological materials and allergens, that present a risk to human health.

Installation of third-party parts may affect your coverage. As a condition of receiving Hardware or ADH Service, all Covered Equipment must be returned to Apple in its entirety including all original parts or Apple-authorized replacement components. This restriction does not prejudice your consumer law rights.

3.2 Technical Support

Apple will not provide Technical Support in the following circumstances:

(a) For use or modification to the Covered Equipment, the macOS, or Consumer Software in a manner for which the Covered Equipment or software is not intended to be used or modified; 

(b) For issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then-current version;

(c) For third-party products or their effects on or interactions with the Covered Equipment, the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(d) For your use of a computer or operating system that is not related to Consumer Software or to connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment;

(e) For software other than the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(f) For macOS software for servers, except when using the graphical interface for server administration and network management issues on macOS Server on a Covered Device;

(g) For any Consumer Software designated as “beta”, “prerelease,” or “preview” or similar designation; 

(h) For damage to, or loss of, any software or data that was residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment (note: the Plan does not cover the recovery or reinstallation of software programs and user data); or

(i) For third-party web browsers, email applications, and Internet service provider software, or the macOS configurations necessary for their use.

4. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain service or Technical Support by calling Apple or accessing support.apple.com/country-selector. You must provide your Plan Agreement Number or Covered Device serial number. You must also, upon request, present your Plan Confirmation, and the original sales receipt for your Covered Device and your Plan.

5. Service Options. 

Apple will provide Hardware or ADH Service to you through one or more of the following options:

(a) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store location or to an Apple Authorized Services Provider (“AASP”) that offers carry-in service. Service will be performed for at the store, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple Repair Service (“ARS”) site for service. You must promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers (and many portable computer in Canada) if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for Onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge. 

(c) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid waybills (and, if needed, packaging material). You must ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS site in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS site will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if you follow all instructions.

(d) Do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment. This allows you to service your own Covered Equipment. In any case, Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to DIY parts service. If DIY parts service is available, the following process will apply: 

(i) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement Covered Equipment part and applicable shipping costs. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. Apple will ship a replacement Covered Equipment part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Covered Equipment part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Covered Equipment part as instructed or return a replaced Covered Equipment part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount. 

(ii) Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement part accompanied by instructions for installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced part. 

Should you require further assistance, you should contact Apple at the telephone numbers listed below. 

Apple may change the method by which Apple provides repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. 

Service will be limited to the options available in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

6. Your Responsibilities.

To receive service or support under the Plan, you agree to (i) provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, (ii) provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment, (iii) respond to requests for information needed to diagnose or service the Covered Equipment, (iv) follow instructions Apple gives you, (v) update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service, and (vi) back up software and data residing on the Covered Equipment. 

DURING HARDWARE SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT, REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA, AND REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. Apple will return your Covered Equipment or provide a replacement as the Covered Equipment was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install macOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the Covered Equipment from reverting to an earlier version of the macOS. Third-party applications installed on the Covered Equipment may not be compatible or work with the Covered Equipment as a result of the macOS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords.

7. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA OR THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, RESULTING FROM APPLE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PLAN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMIT OF APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES’ AND AGENTS’ LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER ARISING UNDER THIS PLAN SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PRICE PAID FOR THIS PLAN. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (i) IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE COVERED EQUIPMENT WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA, (ii) IT WILL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, OR (iii) THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. 

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, APPLE’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS PLAN SHALL NOT PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER LAW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE NON-PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

1. The Plan.

This service contract (the “Plan”) governs the services provided by Apple under the above-mentioned plan and includes the terms in this document, your Plan Confirmation ("Plan Confirmation"), and the original sales receipt for your Plan. Your Plan Confirmation will be provided to you at the time of purchase or sent to you automatically thereafter. If you purchased your Plan from Apple, you may obtain a copy of your Plan Confirmation by going to mysupport.apple.com/products.

Benefits under this Plan are additional to your rights under applicable laws, the manufacturer’s hardware warranty and any complimentary technical support.

The Plan covers the following equipment (collectively, the “Covered Equipment”): (i) the Apple-branded Mac line of computer models, which currently consist of the MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, and Mac mini computer models, and the Apple-branded accessories contained in the original packaging listed on your Plan Confirmation (“Covered Device”), and (ii) an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, and keyboard if included with the Covered Device (or purchased with a Mac mini or Mac Pro), an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Time Capsule, Apple memory modules (RAM) and Apple USB SuperDrive (“Mac Accessories”) if used with the Covered Device and originally purchased no earlier than two years before the Covered Device purchase.

Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and continues through, unless cancelled, the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (the "Plan Term”).

You can find the price of the Plan on the original sales receipt.

2. What is Covered?

2.1 Hardware Service for Defects or Consumed Battery (“Hardware Service”)

If during the Plan Term, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or, in relation to Covered Equipment that uses an integrated rechargeable battery, where the capacity of the Covered Device’s battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will, at its discretion, either (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.

All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum be functionally equivalent to the original product. If Apple exchanges the Covered Equipment, the original product becomes Apple’s property and the replacement product is your property, with coverage effective for the remainder of the Plan Term.

2.2 Services for Accidental Damage from Handling (“ADH Service”)

If during the Plan Term you submit a valid claim notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling resulting from an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g., drops and damages caused by liquid contact from spills) (“ADH”), Apple will, at its discretion and subject to the service fee described below, either (i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. Each time you receive services for ADH is a “Service Event”. Exclusions apply as described below. Further, services for ADH expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this Section are discharged and fulfilled in their entirety once Apple has provided to you two (2) Service Events.

Important: Please refer to Section 3 for exclusions on provision of ADH Service.

The following service fees apply to each Service Event:

*Fees exclude applicable taxes payable by you

To qualify for the Tier 1 ADH Service Event fee, the Covered Device must have no additional damage beyond the screen-only damage (if applicable) or the external enclosure-only damage that would prevent Apple from repairing the display or external enclosure. A Covered Device with additional damage will be charged the price of the Tier 2 ADH Service Event fee.

2.3 Technical Support

During the Plan Term, Apple will provide you with access to telephone and web-based technical support for Covered Equipment (“Technical Support”). Your Technical Support coverage starts on expiration of the complimentary technical support cover provided by Apple, which starts on the date you purchase the Covered Equipment. Technical Support may include assistance with installation, launch, configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery (excluding data recovery), including storing, retrieving, and managing files; interpreting system error messages; and determining when hardware service is required or ADH coverage may be applicable. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, the term "Major Release" means a significant version of software that is commercially released by Apple in a release number format such as "1.0" or "2.0" and which is not in beta or pre-release form.

Apple Technical Support is limited to the following: (i) the Covered Equipment, (ii) the Apple-branded Operating System (“macOS”) and Apple-branded software applications that are pre-installed on or designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”), (iii) use of the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software ("macOS Server"), and (iv) connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a computer or device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment. Exclusions apply as described below.

3. What is not Covered?

3.1 Hardware Service and ADH Service

Apple may restrict Hardware Service and ADH Service to the country where the Covered Equipment was originally purchased.

Apple will not provide Hardware Service or ADH Service in the following circumstances:

(a) to protect against normal wear and tear, or to repair cosmetic damage not affecting the functionality of the Covered Equipment;

(b) to protect against excessive or catastrophic physical damage to Covered Equipment (e.g., products that have been crushed or bent) or excessive or catastrophic damage to Covered Equipment caused by liquid contact (e.g., products that have been partially or wholly submerged in liquid);

(c) to conduct preventative maintenance;

(d) to replace Covered Equipment that is lost or stolen;

(e) to repair damage caused by reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct, or any use of the Covered Equipment in a manner not normal or intended by Apple;

(f) to install, remove or dispose of the Covered Equipment, or the equipment provided to you while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;

(g) to repair damage caused by a product that is not Covered Equipment;

(h) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment (regardless of the cause) if the Covered Equipment has been opened, serviced (including for upgrades and expansions), modified, or altered by anyone other than Apple or an authorized representative of Apple;

(i) to repair pre-existing conditions of the Covered Equipment if you purchased the Plan after you purchased the Covered Equipment;

(j) to repair any damage to Covered Equipment with a serial number that has been altered, defaced or removed;

(k) to repair damages caused by fire, earthquake, flood, or other similar external causes; or

(l) to protect against damage caused by the presence of hazardous materials, including, but not limited to, biological materials and allergens, that present a risk to human health.

Installation of third-party parts may affect your coverage. As a condition of receiving Hardware or ADH Service, all Covered Equipment must be returned to Apple in its entirety including all original parts or Apple-authorized replacement components. This restriction does not prejudice your consumer law rights.

3.2 Technical Support

Apple will not provide Technical Support in the following circumstances:

(a) For use or modification to the Covered Equipment, the macOS, or Consumer Software in a manner for which the Covered Equipment or software is not intended to be used or modified;

(b) For issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then-current version;

(c) For third-party products or their effects on or interactions with the Covered Equipment, the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(d) For your use of a computer or operating system that is not related to Consumer Software or to connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment;

(e) For software other than the macOS, macOS Server or Consumer Software;

(f) For macOS software for servers, except when using the graphical interface for server administration and network management issues on macOS Server on a Covered Device;

(g) For any Consumer Software designated as “beta”, “prerelease,” or “preview” or similar designation;

(h) For damage to, or loss of, any software or data that was residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment (note: the Plan does not cover the recovery or reinstallation of software programs and user data); or

(i) For third-party web browsers, email applications, and Internet service provider software, or the macOS configurations necessary for their use.

4. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain service or Technical Support by calling Apple or accessing support.apple.com/country-selector. You must provide your Plan Agreement Number or Covered Device serial number. You must also, upon request, present your Plan Confirmation, and the original sales receipt for your Covered Device and your Plan.

5. Service Options.

Apple will provide Hardware or ADH Service to you through one or more of the following options:

(a) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store location or to an Apple Authorized Services Provider (“AASP”) that offers carry-in service. Service will be performed for at the store, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple Repair Service (“ARS”) site for service. You must promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers (and many portable computers in Canada) if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for Onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge.

(c) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid waybills (and, if needed, packaging material). You must ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS site in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS site will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if you follow all instructions.

(d) Do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment. This allows you to service your own Covered Equipment. In any case, Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to DIY parts service. If DIY parts service is available, the following process will apply:

1. Service where Apple requires return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement Covered Equipment part and applicable shipping costs. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. Apple will ship a replacement Covered Equipment part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Covered Equipment part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Covered Equipment part as instructed or return a replaced Covered Equipment part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.
2. Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement part accompanied by instructions for installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced part.

Should you require further assistance, you should contact Apple at the telephone numbers listed below.

Apple may change the method by which Apple provides repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service.

Service will be limited to the options available in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

6. Your Responsibilities.

To receive service or support under the Plan, you agree to (i) provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, (ii) provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment, (iii) respond to requests for information needed to diagnose or service the Covered Equipment, (iv) follow instructions Apple gives you, (v) update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service, and (vi) back up software and data residing on the Covered Equipment.

DURING HARDWARE SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT, REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA, AND REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. Apple will return your Covered Equipment or provide a replacement as the Covered Equipment was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install macOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the Covered Equipment from reverting to an earlier version of the macOS. Third-party applications installed on the Covered Equipment may not be compatible or work with the Covered Equipment as a result of the macOS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords.

7. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA OR THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, RESULTING FROM APPLE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PLAN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMIT OF APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES’ AND AGENTS’ LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER ARISING UNDER THIS PLAN SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PRICE PAID FOR THIS PLAN. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (i) IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE COVERED EQUIPMENT WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA, (ii) IT WILL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, OR (iii) THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, APPLE’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS PLAN SHALL NOT PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER LAW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE NON-PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

1. The Plan. This contract (the “Plan”) governs the hardware service and technical support provided to you by Apple under the above-mentioned plan. The Plan covers the Apple-branded Mac computer and the Apple-branded accessories contained in its original packaging (“Covered Device”) listed on your proof of coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”). Apple will also provide hardware service and technical support coverage for an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, and keyboard if included with the Covered Device (or purchased with a Mac mini or Mac Pro), an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Time Capsule, Apple memory modules (RAM) and Apple USB SuperDrive (“Mac Accessories”) if used with the Covered Device and originally purchased no earlier than two years before the Covered Device purchase. (For purposes of this service contract, the Covered Device and, if applicable, the Mac Accessories are referred to collectively as the “Covered Equipment”).

2. When Coverage Begins and Ends.

Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan. The “Plan Term” means the date your Plan begins as per the preceding sentence and, unless cancelled, ends on the date specified in your Plan Confirmation. Your Plan Confirmation will be provided to you at or around the time of purchase or sent to you automatically thereafter. If you purchased your plan from Apple, you may obtain a copy of your Plan Confirmation by following the instructions and entering your Covered Device’s serial number at selfsolve.apple.com/agreement/list.

3. What is Covered?

3.1 Hardware Service

If during the Plan Term, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that (i) a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or (ii) the capacity of the Covered Equipment’s battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will, at its discretion, either

(a) repair the defect at no charge, using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or

(b) exchange the Covered Equipment, with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.

All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum be functionally equivalent to the original product. If Apple exchanges the Covered Equipment, the original product becomes Apple’s property and the replacement product is your property, with coverage effective for the remaining period of the Plan.

3.2 Accidental Damage from Handling

If during the Plan Term you submit a valid claim notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling (“ADH”), Apple will, at its discretion and subject to the service fee described below, either

(i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or

(ii) exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability (both individually known as a “Service Event”).

ADH coverage only applies to an operational or mechanical failure caused by an accident from handling that is the result of an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g. drops and damage caused by liquid contact from spills) that arises from your normal daily usage of the Covered Device as intended for such Covered Device.

ADH coverage does not include

(a) protection against normal wear and tear, excessive or catastrophic damage, theft, misplacement, or damage caused by reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct associated with handling and use of the Covered Device,

(b) protection against any other act or result not covered by the Plan, as described in Section 4.2 below, or

(c) any damage to the Covered Device that arises from one or more conditions described in Section 3.2 (a) or (b).

Apple may ask you to provide an explanation of where and when the accident occurred with a detailed description of the actual event. Apple will deny your claim if you fail to pay the service fee or fail to provide information relating to the accident when asked.

• Under AppleCare+ for Mac, you will pay a $99 (U.S.) dollar service fee plus applicable tax for a screen-only ADH claim or an external enclosure-only ADH claim (“Tier 1 ADH Claim”) or a $299 (U.S.) dollar service fee plus applicable tax for all other ADH claims (“Tier 2 ADH Claim”).

To qualify for the Tier 1 ADH Claim fee, the Covered Device must have no additional damage beyond the screen-only damage (if applicable) or the external enclosure-only damage that would prevent Apple from repairing the display or external enclosure. Covered Device with additional damage will be charged the price of the Tier 2 ADH Claim fee.

ADH coverage will expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this section 3.2 will be fulfilled in their entirety before the end of the Plan Term when Apple, as a result of ADH claims, has provided to you two (2) Service Events.

3.3 Technical Support

During the Plan Term, Apple will provide you with access to telephone and web-based technical support resources. Your Technical Support coverage starts on expiration of the complimentary technical support cover provided by the manufacturer, which starts on the date you purchase the Covered Equipment. Technical support may include assistance with installation, launch, configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery (except for data recovery), including storing, retrieving, and managing files; interpreting system error messages; and determining when hardware service is required or ADH coverage may be applicable. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, the term "Major Release" means a significant version of software that is commercially released by Apple in a release number format such as "1.0" or "2.0" and which is not in beta or pre-release form.

3.4 Scope of Technical Support

Under the Plan, Apple will provide technical support for the following:

(i) Covered Equipment,

(ii) Operating system (“OS”) and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment and Apple-branded software applications that are designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”),

(iii) Use of the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software (“Mac OS Server”), and

(iv) Connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a Supported Computer or Device. (A “Supported Computer or Device” means a computer or device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment).

(xi) The Plan does not apply to damage to Covered Equipment caused by the presence of hazardous materials, including, but not limited to, biological materials and allergens, that present a risk to human health.

Important: Do not open the Covered Equipment, as damage caused as a result of opening the equipment is not covered by this Plan. Only Apple or an AASP should perform service on the Covered Equipment.

4.3 Technical Support

(i) The Plan does not include Technical Support for your use of or modification to the Covered Equipment, the OS, or Consumer Software in a manner for which the Covered Equipment or software is not intended to be used or modified.

5. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain hardware services, which include those relating to ADH coverage, and technical support by accessing the Apple website (support.apple.com/country-selector) or calling the telephone number listed below. If you call, you must provide Apple the Plan Agreement Number or Covered Equipment serial number. You need to keep your Plan Confirmation document and the original sales receipt for your Covered Equipment and your Plan, as they will be required if there is any question as to your Covered Equipment’s eligibility for coverage.

6. Service Options.

6.1 Apple will provide hardware services to you through one or more of these options:

(i) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment products. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store location or to an AASP that offers carry-in service. Service will be performed for you at the store, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) site for service. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(ii) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for Onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge.

(iii) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment products. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid waybills (and, if needed, packaging material) and you must ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS site in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS site will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if you follow all instructions.

(iv) Do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts or accessories, and this will allow you to service your own Covered Equipment. If DIY parts service is available, the following process will apply.

(a) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement Covered Equipment part and applicable shipping costs. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. Apple will ship a replacement Covered Equipment part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Covered Equipment part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Covered Equipment part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Covered Equipment part as instructed or return a replaced Covered Equipment part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.

(b) Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement part accompanied by instructions for installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced part.

(c) Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, you should contact Apple at the telephone number listed below.

6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

7. Your Responsibilities.

To receive service or support under the Plan, you agree to comply with each of the terms listed below.

(i) You will provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, if requested.

(iv) You will follow instructions Apple gives you, including but not limited to refraining from sending Apple products and accessories that are not subject to repair or replacement service and packing the Covered Equipment in accordance with shipping instructions.

(v) You will update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service.

DURING HARDWARE SERVICE, APPLE MAY DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT, REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA, AND REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. Apple will return your Covered Equipment or provide a replacement as the Covered Equipment was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install OS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the Covered Equipment from reverting to an earlier version of the OS. Third-party applications installed on the Covered Equipment may not be compatible or work with the Covered Equipment as a result of the OS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords.

8. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA OR THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, RESULTING FROM APPLE’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PLAN. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMIT OF APPLE AND ITS EMPLOYEES’ AND AGENTS’ LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNER ARISING UNDER THE PLAN SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PRICE PAID FOR THE PLAN. APPLE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (i) IT WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE COVERED EQUIPMENT WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA, (ii) IT WILL MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA, OR (iii) THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

FOR CONSUMERS IN JURISDICTIONS WHO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, APPLE’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, TO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Unless applicable local law provides otherwise, Apple may cancel this Plan for fraud or material misrepresentation.
