AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad

How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan
 
FOR CONSUMERS IN JURISDICTIONS WHO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THE ABOVE MENTIONED PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.  NOTHING IN THIS PLAN SHALL PREJUDICE CONSUMER RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE MANDATORY LAWS, INCLUDING CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO THE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF TOTAL OR PARTIAL NON-PERFORMANCE OR INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.
 
1.  The Plan.  This service contract governs the hardware service and technical support provided to you by Apple under the above-mentioned plan (the “Plan”) for the Apple branded product and the accessories contained in its original packaging (“Covered Equipment”) listed on your proof of coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”). 
 
2.  When Coverage Begins and Ends.
 
Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and ends on the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (“Coverage Period”).  To obtain your Plan Confirmation register your Covered Equipment and your Plan’s registration number (“Plan Agreement Number”) with Apple. If auto-registration is available, your sales receipt will be your Plan Confirmation. The terms of this Plan, the original sales receipt for your Plan and the Plan Confirmation are each part of your service contract. The price of the Plan is contained in the original sales receipt. The hardware service and technical support coverage provided by the Plan is additional to the coverage provided by the manufacturer’s hardware warranty and complimentary technical support. 
 
3.  What is Covered?
 
3.1 Hardware Service
 
If during the Coverage Period, 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 has depleted fifty (50%) percent or more from its original specifications, Apple will either (a) repair the defect at no charge, using new or refurbished parts that are the 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 and is 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 for the remaining period of the plan.
 
3.2 Covered Equipment
 
In addition to the Apple-branded product and accessories contained in the original packaging, “Covered Equipment” includes an AirPort Extreme Card, an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, and Time Capsule, if used with the Covered Equipment and originally purchased by you no earlier than two years before the Covered Equipment purchase.
 
3.3 Technical Support
 
During the Coverage Period, Apple will provide you with access to telephone and web-based technical support resources. 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. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, "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. The scope of technical support provided to you will vary according to your Plan.
 
3.4 Scope of Technical Support
 
Under the Plan, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iPad OS (“iOS”) and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as "Consumer Software") and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a “Supported Computer”, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications.
 
4. What is not Covered?
 
4.1 Hardware Service.  Apple may restrict service to the Covered Equipment’s original country of purchase. The Plan does not apply to:
 
(i) Installation, removal or disposal of the Covered Equipment, or provision of equipment while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;
 
(ii) Damage caused by (a) a product that is not the Covered Equipment, (b) accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external causes, (c) operating the Covered Equipment outside the permitted or intended uses described by the manufacturer, or (d) service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”);
 
(iii) Covered Equipment with a serial number that has been altered, defaced or removed, or has been modified to alter its functionality or capability without the written permission of the manufacturer;
 
(iv) Covered Equipment that has been lost or stolen. This Plan only covers Covered Equipment that is returned to Apple in its entirety;
 
(v) Cosmetic damage to the Covered Equipment including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports;
 
(vi) Preventative maintenance on the Covered Equipment; or
 
(vii) Defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to normal aging of the product;
 
4.2 Technical Support.  The Plan does not include:
 
(i) Your use of the iOS and Consumer Software as server-based applications;
 
(ii) Issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then current version;
 
(iii) Third-party products or their effects on or interactions with the Covered Equipment, the iOS or Consumer Software;
 
(iv) Your use of a computer or operating system that is unrelated to Consumer Software or connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment;
 
(v) Apple software other than the iOS or Consumer Software, as covered under the Plan;
 
(vi) iOS software or any Apple-branded software designated as “beta”, “prerelease,” or “preview” or similarly labeled software; or
 
(vii) Damage to, or loss of any software or data residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment.  Recovery and reinstallation of software programs and user data are not covered under this Plan.
 
5.  How to Obtain Service and Support?
 
You may obtain hardware services and technical support by accessing the Apple website (www.apple.com/support) or calling the telephone number listed below. If calling, an Apple technical support representative will answer, request your Plan Agreement Number or Covered Equipment serial number, before providing assistance.  Keep your Plan Confirmation document and the original sales receipt for your Covered Equipment and your Plan, as it will be required if there is any question as to your product’s eligibility for coverage.
 
6. Hardware Service Options.
 
6.1 Apple will provide hardware services through one or more of the following options:
 
(i) Carry-in service. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be repaired or replaced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.
 
(ii) Mail-in service. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid way bills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, Apple may send you packaging material) and you will ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS location in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS location will return the Covered Equipment or a replacement product to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed.
 
(iii) Express replacement or do-it-yourself  (“DIY”) parts service.  Express replacement is available for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
 
(a) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced product or part. Apple may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer alternative arrangements for service. Apple will ship a replacement product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced product or part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or 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 product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced product or part.
 
(c) Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to express replacement or DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, 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 service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will 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 defective 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 the following:
 
(i) Provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, if requested;
 
(ii) Provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment;
 
(iii) Respond to requests for information, including but not limited to the Covered Equipment serial number, model, version of the operating system and software installed, any peripherals devices connected or installed on the Covered Equipment, any error messages displayed, actions taken before the Covered Equipment experienced the issue and steps taken to resolve the issue;
 
(iv) 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) Update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service; and
 
(vi) Make sure to backup software and data residing on the Covered Equipment. DURING APP FOR IPAD SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE IPAD AND REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA. Apple will return your iPad or provide a replacement iPad as the iPad was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install iOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the iPad from reverting to an earlier version of the iOS. Third party applications installed on the iPad may not be compatible or work with the iPad as a result of the iOS 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 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 AGENT’S 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) 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 REPLACE 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.

2.  When Coverage Begins and Ends.
 
Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and ends on the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (“Coverage Period”).  To obtain your Plan Confirmation register your Covered Equipment and your Plan’s registration number (“Plan Agreement Number”) with Apple. If auto-registration is available, your sales receipt will be your Plan Confirmation. The terms of this Plan, the original sales receipt for your Plan and the Plan Confirmation are each part of your service contract. The price of the Plan is contained in the original sales receipt. The hardware service and technical support coverage provided by the Plan is additional to the coverage provided by the manufacturer’s hardware warranty and complimentary technical support. 
 
3.  What is Covered?
 
3.1 Hardware Service
 
If during the Coverage Period, 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 has depleted fifty (50%) percent or more from its original specifications, Apple will either (a) repair the defect at no charge, using new or refurbished parts that are the 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 and is 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 for the remaining period of the plan.

Under the Plan, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iPad OS (“iOS”) and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as "Consumer Software") and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a “Supported Computer”, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications.
 
4. What is not Covered?
 
4.1 Hardware Service.  Apple may restrict service to the Covered Equipment’s original country of purchase. The Plan does not apply to:
 
(i) Installation, removal or disposal of the Covered Equipment, or provision of equipment while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;
 
(ii) Damage caused by (a) a product that is not the Covered Equipment, (b) accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external causes, (c) operating the Covered Equipment outside the permitted or intended uses described by the manufacturer, or (d) service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”);
 
(iii) Covered Equipment with a serial number that has been altered, defaced or removed, or has been modified to alter its functionality or capability without the written permission of the manufacturer;
 
(iv) Covered Equipment that has been lost or stolen. This Plan only covers Covered Equipment that is returned to Apple in its entirety;
 
(v) Cosmetic damage to the Covered Equipment including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports;
 
(vi) Preventative maintenance on the Covered Equipment; or
 
(vii) Defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to normal aging of the product;
 
4.2 Technical Support.  The Plan does not include:
 
(i) Your use of the iOS and Consumer Software as server-based applications;
 
(ii) Issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then current version;
 
(iii) Third-party products or their effects on or interactions with the Covered Equipment, the iOS or Consumer Software;
 
(iv) Your use of a computer or operating system that is unrelated to Consumer Software or connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment;
 
(v) Apple software other than the iOS or Consumer Software, as covered under the Plan;
 
(vi) iOS software or any Apple-branded software designated as “beta”, “prerelease,” or “preview” or similarly labeled software; or
 
(vii) Damage to, or loss of any software or data residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment.  Recovery and reinstallation of software programs and user data are not covered under this Plan.
 
5.  How to Obtain Service and Support?
 
You may obtain hardware services and technical support by accessing the Apple website (www.apple.com/support) or calling the telephone number listed below. If calling, an Apple technical support representative will answer, request your Plan Agreement Number or Covered Equipment serial number, before providing assistance.  Keep your Plan Confirmation document and the original sales receipt for your Covered Equipment and your Plan, as it will be required if there is any question as to your product’s eligibility for coverage.
 
6. Hardware Service Options.
 
6.1 Apple will provide hardware services through one or more of the following options:
 
(i) Carry-in service. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be repaired or replaced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.
 
(ii) Mail-in service. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid way bills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, Apple may send you packaging material) and you will ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS location in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS location will return the Covered Equipment or a replacement product to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed.
 
(iii) Express replacement or do-it-yourself  (“DIY”) parts service.  Express replacement is available for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
 
(a) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced product or part. Apple may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer alternative arrangements for service. Apple will ship a replacement product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced product or part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or 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 product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced product or part.
 
(c) Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to express replacement or DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, 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 service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will 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 defective 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 the following:
 
(i) Provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, if requested;
 
(ii) Provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment;
 
(iii) Respond to requests for information, including but not limited to the Covered Equipment serial number, model, version of the operating system and software installed, any peripherals devices connected or installed on the Covered Equipment, any error messages displayed, actions taken before the Covered Equipment experienced the issue and steps taken to resolve the issue;
 
(iv) 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) Update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service; and
 
(vi) Make sure to backup software and data residing on the Covered Equipment. DURING APP FOR IPAD SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE IPAD AND REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA. Apple will return your iPad or provide a replacement iPad as the iPad was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install iOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the iPad from reverting to an earlier version of the iOS. Third party applications installed on the iPad may not be compatible or work with the iPad as a result of the iOS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords.

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.
