These Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) govern the service of your product by Apple Retail UK Limited (“Apple”). Apple may restrict service to one (1) product per customer during your visit to the Apple Retail Store. When your product is repaired pursuant to Apple’s warranty, extended service contract or any consumer law, these terms will apply, to the extent that they do not reduce your rights under Apple's warranty, extended service contract or applicable law.

1. Apple will service your product as described and for the charges shown on the Work Authorisation plus any applicable tax. Apple may restrict service to one (1) product per customer during your visit to the Apple Retail Store. When the service is covered by Apple’s warranty, extended service contract or consumer warranty law, those terms or applicable law will apply.

Apple understands that your data may be valuable to you. Data loss during service is always a possibility, and in some cases, data may be unrecoverable, erased, or reformatted during service. For this reason, it is your sole responsibility to back up all existing data, software, and/or programs from your product, and to decide whether to erase any such data from your product, prior to receiving service. Apple is not responsible for loss, recovery, or compromise of data, software or programs, or loss of use of your product or other equipment arising out of the services provided by Apple. You represent that your product does not contain any illegal files or data.

You acknowledge that your device may be sent out by common carrier to be serviced by an external service provider. For this reason, it's recommended that you back up your device and wipe it, prior to submission for service.

Apple will not be responsible for any damage to the product that occurs during the repair process that is a result of any unauthorised modifications or repairs or replacements not performed by Apple or an AASP. If damage results, Apple will seek your authorisation for any additional costs for completing service even if the product is covered by warranty or an AppleCare service plan. If you decline authorisation, Apple may return your product unrepaired in the damaged condition without any responsibility.

5. Apple may use parts or products that are new or previously used Apple genuine parts that have been tested and passed Apple functional requirements. Apple will retain the replaced part or product that is exchanged as its property, and the replacement part will become your property. Replaced parts are generally repairable and are exchanged or repaired by Apple for value. Apple may use Apple products or replacement parts for service that are sourced from a country that is different from the country from which the Apple product or original parts were sourced. If applicable law requires Apple to return a replaced part to you, you agree to pay Apple the additional cost of the replaced part.

6.
