Plan Purchase Date

Apple Products, the AppleCare Protection Plan and New Zealand Consumer Law

When you purchase Apple hardware products, in addition to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you will receive coverage from the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty.

By purchasing the optional AppleCare Protection Plan, you also obtain additional benefits. The terms and conditions of your AppleCare Protection Plan are summarised below and set out in full in your original purchase receipt, your Plan Confirmation (if auto registration is not available) and in the terms contained in the Getting Started Guide (in your AppleCare Protection Plan box or from apple.com/legal/applecare/).

If you decide for any reason that you’d like to cancel your AppleCare Protection Plan you can do this within 30 days after the date of your purchase or where we have failed to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Fair Trading Act 1986. Just visit the store you purchased the product from and they will refund the cost of the AppleCare Protection Plan.

Summary of protections provided by New Zealand consumer law, the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty and the AppleCare Protection Plan

Summary of New Zealand statutory consumer guarantees

Your rights and remedies under the AppleCare Protection Plan operate alongside, and in addition to, your rights under New Zealand consumer law. A summary of your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 is set out below. 

Under New Zealand consumer law, the remedy you are entitled to if a product fails to meet a consumer guarantee will depend on whether the failure to comply with the guarantee is serious or minor, and whether it can be fixed.

The AppleCare Protection Plan is provided to you by Apple Sales New Zealand. You can contact us at Apple Sales New Zealand, Level 15, 188 Quay Street, Auckland 1010  by phoning us on 0800 692 7753 or by emailing acpp@apple.com.

Where the failure is not serious, we may choose to offer you a refund, replacement, repair, or in the case of services, resupply.

Where the failure is serious or, in the case of a product, makes that product unsafe, you can choose from one of the remedies set out below:

Where you incur extra costs from a failure relating to an Apple product you have purchased from us, we will also pay you a reasonable amount for damage caused by any fault or for extra costs caused by the failure of the product.

If you discover a fault or failure in a product you have purchased from us, you should contact us on 0800 692 7753 or the store where you purchased your product from.  Where the failure is serious, you must contact us and request a refund as soon as possible after you discover the failure otherwise you may lose your right to that refund.

You must also give us a reasonable time to repair the failure. We do not have to cover the cost of a repair if you do not contact us about the failure of the product first.

For more information about the AppleCare Protection Plan and your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you can visit apple.com/nz/legal/statutory-warranty/ or consumeraffairs.govt.nz/. 

You should retain a copy of your receipt and any applicable Plan Confirmation as it forms part of your AppleCare Protection Plan and includes important information such as the commencement date.

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 PLANS 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 services and technical support provided to you by Apple under the above-mentioned plans (each referred to herein as the “Plan”) for the Apple-branded product and the Apple-branded accessories contained in its original packaging (“Covered Equipment”) listed on your proof of coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”). For the purposes of this Plan, Apple will mean the entity or the successor in title to the entity listed in Section 12 below.

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, you may receive a separate Plan Confirmation. If auto-registration is available and you do not receive a separate Plan Confirmation, your original 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 as provided by Apple or another seller from whom you’ve purchased your Plan (a “Reseller”). 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 (a) a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or (b) the capacity of a covered battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will either (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new or previously used Apple genuine parts that have been tested and pass Apple functional requirements, or (ii) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or comprised of new and/or previously used Apple genuine parts and has been tested and passed Apple functional requirements. All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum have the same or substantially similar features (e.g., a different model with the same features, or the same model in a different color) as 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. Apple may use Covered Equipment or replacement parts for service that are sourced from a country that is different from the country from which the Covered Equipment or original parts were sourced.

3.2 Covered Equipment

In addition to the Apple-branded product and accessories contained in the original packaging, “Covered Equipment” under APP for Mac, includes, according to your Plan, (a) an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, Apple Battery Charger and keyboard if included with the Covered Equipment (or purchased with a Mac mini, Mac Pro, or Mac Studio), and (b) an Apple memory modules (RAM) and Apple USB SuperDrive if used with the Covered Equipment and originally purchased by you no earlier than two years before the Covered Equipment purchase.

The Covered Equipment must have been purchased or leased as new from Apple or an Apple Authorised Reseller. Where legal ownership of the Covered Equipment has been transferred to You, the Plan must have been transferred to You pursuant to clause 10. Covered Equipment includes any replacement product provided to You by Apple under clause 3.1 of this Plan.

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

(a) Under APP for Mac, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, Apple’s operating system software (“macOS”) and Apple-branded software applications that are designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”). Apple will also provide technical support using the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software (“macOS Server”) on a Mac.

(b) Under APP for iPod, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iOS and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as “iPod Software”) and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a “Supported Computer”, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system that is supported by the Covered Equipment.

(c) Under APP for Apple TV, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (“tvOS”) and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a laptop or desktop computer, a compatible television, or other compatible wireless device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment.

5. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain hardware services and technical support by accessing the Apple website or calling the telephone number listed for the country calling from at apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html. 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

Apple will provide hardware services 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 or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store or service provider may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Onsite service. Onsite service is available in some countries 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.

(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 you no longer have the original packaging, 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 to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed. Alternatively, Apple or an AASP may arrange to pick your Covered Equipment up from you and then once the service is complete, ship the Covered Equipment back to you directly.

(d) Express Replacement Service or do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. Express Replacement Service is available in certain countries for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply. If Apple requires return of the replaced device or part, Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement device or part and applicable shipping costs until you return the replaced device as instructed. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you in which case Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. If you fail to return the replaced device or part as instructed or return a replaced device or part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount. If Apple does not require return of the replaced device or part, Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement device or part accompanied by any applicable instructions or requirements for disposal of the replaced device or part. Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to ERS or DIY parts service.

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 where service is requested. 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:

(a) Provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, if requested;

(b) Provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment;

(c) 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;

(d) 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;

(e) Update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service; and

APPLE MAY REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES WHILE PERFORMING SERVICE, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. DURING APP FOR IPOD SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE IPOD AND REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA. Apple will return your iPod or provide a replacement iPod as the iPod was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install iOS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the iPod from reverting to an earlier version of the iOS. Third party applications installed on the iPod may not be compatible or work with the iPod 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) 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 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.

Apple Products, the AppleCare Protection Plan and New Zealand Consumer Law

When you purchase Apple hardware products, in addition to your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you will receive coverage from the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty.

By purchasing the optional AppleCare Protection Plan, you also obtain additional benefits. The terms and conditions of your AppleCare Protection Plan are summarised below and set out in full in your original purchase receipt, your Plan Confirmation (if auto registration is not available) and in the terms contained in the Getting Started Guide (in your AppleCare Protection Plan box or from https://www.apple.com/legal/applecare/).

If you decide for any reason that you’d like to cancel your AppleCare Protection Plan you can do this within 30 days after the date of your purchase or where we have failed to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Fair Trading Act 1986. Just visit the store you purchased the product from and they will refund the cost of the AppleCare Protection Plan.

Summary of protections provided by New Zealand consumer law, the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty and the AppleCare Protection Plan

Summary of New Zealand statutory consumer guarantees

Your rights and remedies under the AppleCare Protection Plan operate alongside, and in addition to, your rights under New Zealand consumer law. A summary of your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 is set out below. 

Under New Zealand consumer law, the remedy you are entitled to if a product fails to meet a consumer guarantee will depend on whether the failure to comply with the guarantee is serious or minor, and whether it can be fixed.

The AppleCare Protection Plan is provided to you by Apple Sales New Zealand. You can contact us at Apple Sales New Zealand, Level 15, 188 Quay Street, Auckland 1010  by phoning us on 0800 692 7753 or by emailing acpp@apple.com.

Where the failure is not serious, we may choose to offer you a refund, replacement, repair, or in the case of services, resupply.

Where the failure is serious or, in the case of a product, makes that product unsafe, you can choose from one of the remedies set out below:

Where you incur extra costs from a failure relating to an Apple product you have purchased from us, we will also pay you a reasonable amount for damage caused by any fault or for extra costs caused by the failure of the product.

If you discover a fault or failure in a product you have purchased from us, you should contact us on 0800 692 7753 or the store where you purchased your product from.  Where the failure is serious, you must contact us and request a refund as soon as possible after you discover the failure otherwise you may lose your right to that refund.

You must also give us a reasonable time to repair the failure. We do not have to cover the cost of a repair if you do not contact us about the failure of the product first.

For more information about the AppleCare Protection Plan and your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you can visit https://www.apple.com/nz/legal/statutory-warranty/ or http://www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz. 

You should retain a copy of your receipt and any applicable Plan Confirmation as it forms part of your AppleCare Protection Plan and includes important information such as the commencement date.

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 PLANS 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 services and technical support provided to you by Apple under the above-mentioned plans (each referred to herein as the “Plan”) for the Apple-branded product and the Apple-branded accessories contained in its original packaging (“Covered Equipment”) listed on your proof of coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”). For the purposes of this Plan, Apple will mean the entity or the successor in title to the entity listed in Section 12 below.

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, you may receive a separate Plan Confirmation. If auto-registration is available and you do not receive a separate Plan Confirmation, your original 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 as provided by Apple or another seller from whom you’ve purchased your Plan (a “Reseller”). 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 (a) a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment, or (b) the capacity of a covered battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will either (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new or refurbished 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, and is at least 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. Apple may use Covered Equipment or replacement parts for service that are sourced from a country that is different from the country from which the Covered Equipment or original parts were sourced.

3.2 Covered Equipment

In addition to the Apple-branded product and accessories contained in the original packaging, “Covered Equipment” includes the following according to your Plan: (a) Under APP for Mac, (i) an Apple-branded mouse, Magic Trackpad, Apple Battery Charger and keyboard if included with the Covered Equipment (or purchased with a Mac mini or Mac Pro), and (ii) Apple memory modules (RAM) and an Apple USB SuperDrive 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

(a) Under APP for Mac, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, Apple’s operating system software (“macOS”) and Apple-branded software applications that are designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”). Apple will also provide technical support using the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on Apple’s operating system server software (“macOS Server”) on a Mac. 

(b) Under APP for iPod, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iPod OS and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as "iPod Software") and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a “Supported Computer”, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system that is supported by the Covered Equipment.

(c) Under APP for Apple TV, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (“tvOS”) and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a laptop or desktop computer, a compatible television, or other compatible wireless device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment.

4. What is not Covered?

4.1 Hardware Service

The Plan does not apply to:

(a) Installation, removal or disposal of the Covered Equipment, or the provision of equipment while the Covered Equipment is being serviced; 

(b) Damage caused by (i) a product that is not the Covered Equipment (ii) accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause, (iii) operating the Covered Equipment outside the permitted or intended uses described by the manufacturer, or (iv) service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); 

(c) 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;

(e) Cosmetic damage to the Covered Equipment including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; 

(f) Consumable parts, such as batteries, except in respect of battery coverage under APP for iPod or APP for Mac or APP for Apple TV or unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials and workmanship; 

(g) Preventative maintenance on the Covered Equipment; or

(h) 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:

(a) Issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then current version; 

(b) Your use of or modification to the Covered Equipment, the macOS, iPod Software, tvOS or Consumer Software in a manner for which it is not intended to be used or modified; 

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

(d) Your use of a computer or operating system under APP for iPod that is unrelated to iPod Software or connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment; 

(e) Your use of a computer or operating system under APP for Apple TV that is unrelated to tvOS or connectivity issues with the Covered Equipment; 

(f) Apple software other than the macOS, macOS Server, iPod Software, tvOS or Consumer Software as covered under the applicable Plan; 

(g) macOS software for servers, except when using the graphical user interface for server administration and network management issues on macOS Server on a Mac;

(i) Third-party web browsers, email applications, and Internet service provider software, or the operating software configurations necessary for their use; or 

(j) 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 or calling the telephone number listed for the country calling from at www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html. 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

Apple will provide hardware services 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 or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store or service provider may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Onsite service. Onsite service is available in some countries 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 be 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 you no longer have the original packaging, 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 to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed. Alternatively, Apple or an AASP may arrange to pick your Covered Equipment up from you and then once the service is complete, ship the Covered Equipment back to you directly.

(d) Express Replacement Service or do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service. Express Replacement Service is available in certain countries for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply. If Apple requires return of the replaced device or part, Apple may require a credit card authorization to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement device or part and applicable shipping costs until you return the replaced device as instructed. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you in which case Apple will offer an alternative arrangement for service. If you fail to return the replaced device or part as instructed or return a replaced device or part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount. If Apple does not require return of the replaced device or part, Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement device or part accompanied by any applicable instructions or requirements for disposal of the replaced device or part. Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to ERS or DIY parts service.

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 where service is requested. 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: 

(a) Provide your Plan Agreement Number and a copy of your Plan’s original proof of purchase, if requested; 

(b) Provide information about the symptoms and causes of the issues with the Covered Equipment; 

(c) 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; 

(d) 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; 

(e) Update software to currently published releases prior to seeking service; and

APPLE MAY REINSTALL THE COVERED EQUIPMENT’S ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATE RELEASES WHILE PERFORMING SERVICE, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DELETION OF ALL SOFTWARE AND DATA THAT RESIDED ON THE COVERED EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO SERVICE. DURING APP FOR IPOD SERVICE, APPLE WILL DELETE THE CONTENTS OF THE IPOD AND REFORMAT THE STORAGE MEDIA. Apple will return your iPod or provide a replacement iPod as the iPod was originally configured, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install iPod OS updates as part of hardware service that will prevent the iPod from reverting to an earlier version of the iPod OS. Third party applications installed on the iPod may not be compatible or work with the iPod as a result of the iPod 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 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) 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 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.
