							14English to reinstall the Covered Equipment’s original software 
configuration and subsequent update releases, but will 
not provide any recovery or transfer of software or data 
contained on the serviced unit not originally included in the 
Covered Equipment. DURING iPOD SERVICE THE CONTENTS 
OF YOUR iPOD WILL BE DELETED AND THE STORAGE MEDIA 
REFORMATTED. Your iPod or a replacement iPod will be 
returned to you as your iPod was configured when originally 
purchased, subject to applicable updates. Apple may install 
system software (“iPod OS”) updates as part of your 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. Recovery and 
reinstallation of software programs and user data are not 
covered under this Plan.
c.   Service Options. Apple may provide service through one or more of 
the following options: 
(i)  Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. 
Return the Covered Equipment requiring service to an Apple-
owned retail store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider 
location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed   
						

							15
English
at the location, or the store or service provider may send the 
Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service location to be 
repaired. Once you are notified that service is complete, you 
will promptly retrieve the product.
(ii)  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 located in the United States or Canada. Onsite 
service is not available for some parts. The service for parts 
that cannot be repaired by onsite service may be repaired 
under Do-It-Yourself Parts service as described below. 
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 Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple 
repair service location for repair. If the Covered Equipment 
is repaired at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple 
repair service 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.   
						

							16English(iii) 
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 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 Apple’s repair service 
location in accordance with its instructions. Once service is 
complete, the Apple repair service location will return the 
Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to 
and from your location if all instructions are followed.
(iv)  Do-It-Yourself Parts service is available for many Covered 
Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own 
product. If Do-It-Yourself Parts service is available in the 
circumstances, the following process will apply.
(A)  Do-It-Yourself Parts service where Apple requires return 
of the replaced part. Apple may require a credit card 
authorization as security for the retail price of the 
replacement part and applicable shipping costs. If you are 
unable to provide credit card authorization, Do-It-Yourself 
Parts service may not be available to you and Apple will 
offer alternative arrangements for service. Apple will ship 
a replacement part to you with installation instructions 
and any requirements for the return of the replaced part.   
						

							17
English
If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit 
card authorization, so you will not be charged for the 
part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to 
return the replaced part as instructed or return a replaced 
part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the 
credit card for the authorized amount.
(B)  Do-It-Yourself Parts service where Apple does not require 
return of the replaced part. Apple will ship you free of 
charge a replacement part accompanied by instructions 
on installation and any requirements for the disposal of 
the replaced part.
(C)  Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur 
relating to Do-It-Yourself Parts service. Should you 
require further assistance, contact Apple at the toll-free 
telephone number listed below.
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, including but not limited to onsite service at any time. 
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   
						

							18EnglishEquipment 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 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.
d.   Obtaining Repair or Replacement Service. To obtain service under 
this Plan, access the Apple website (www.apple.com/support) 
or call the toll-free telephone number listed below. Telephone 
numbers may vary according to your location. When accessing 
the website, follow the instructions for requesting repair 
service provided by Apple. If calling, an Apple technical support 
representative will answer, request your Plan Agreement Number 
or Covered Equipment serial number, advise you and determine 
what service is necessary for the Covered Equipment. All service is 
subject to Apple’s prior approval. Location of service may vary due 
to your location. Keep your Plan Confirmation document and the 
original sales receipt for your Covered Equipment and your Plan. 
Proof of purchase may be required if there is any question as to 
your product’s eligibility for Plan coverage.
