OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS,

IMPLIED. APPLE DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY AND IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES

CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION STORED IN THE APPLE 
PRODUCT.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO DEATH 
OR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS, OR ANY STATUTORY LIABILITY 
FOR INTENTIONAL AND GROSS NEGLIGENT ACTS AND/OR 
OMISSIONS. APPLE DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION THAT IT 
WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY APPLE PRODUCT UNDER THIS 
WARRANTY OR REPLACE THE APPLE PRODUCT WITHOUT 
RISK TO OR LOSS OF INFORMATION STORED ON THE APPLE

WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU 
MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM PROVINCE TO 
PROVINCE. OTHER THAN AS PERMITTED BY LAW, APPLE 
DOES NOT EXCLUDE, LIMIT OR SUSPEND OTHER RIGHTS 
YOU MAY HAVE, INCLUDING THOSE THAT MAY ARISE FROM 
THE NONCONFORMITY OF A SALES CONTRACT. FOR A FULL 
UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR RIGHTS YOU SHOULD CONSULT 
THE LAWS OF YOUR PROVINCE. RESIDENTS OF QUEBEC ARE 
GOVERNED BY THAT PROVINCE’S CONSUMER PROTECTION 
LEGISLATION.  
						

							HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?  Please access and 
review the online help resources described below before 
seeking warranty service. If the Apple Product is still not 
functioning properly after making use of these resources, 
please contact an Apple representative or, if applicable, 
an Apple owned retail store (“Apple Retail”) or AASP, using 
the information provided below. An Apple representative 
or AASP will help determine whether your Apple Product 
requires service and, if it does, will inform you how Apple 
will provide it. When contacting Apple via telephone, other 
charges may apply depending on your location.
Online information with details on obtaining warranty service 
is provided below.
WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS  Apple will provide warranty 
service through one or more of the following options:
(i) Carry-in service. You may return your Apple Product to 
an Apple Retail or AASP location offering carry-in service. 
Service will be performed at the location, or Apple Retail or 
an AASP may send your Apple Product to an Apple Repair 
Service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified 
that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the 
Apple Product from the Apple Retail or AASP location, or 
the Apple Product will be sent directly to your location from 
the ARS location.
(ii) Mail-in service. If Apple determines that your Apple 
Product is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you 
prepaid waybills and if applicable, packaging material, so 
that you may ship your Apple Product to an ARS or AASP 
location in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service 
is complete, the ARS or AASP location will return the Apple 
Product to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your 
location if all instructions are followed.
(iii) Do-it-yourself (DIY ) parts service. DIY parts service allows 
you to service your own Apple 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, DIY parts 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 your credit card for 
the authorized amount.
Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality 
or capability without the written permission of Apple;  
(h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise 
due to the normal aging of the Apple Product; or (i) if any 
serial number has been removed or defaced from the 
Apple Product.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES  IF YOUR APPLE PRODUCT IS 
CAPABLE OF STORING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA AND 
OTHER INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD MAKE PERIODIC BACKUP 
COPIES OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE 
MEDIA TO PROTECT THE CONTENTS AND AS A PRECAUTION 
AGAINST POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL FAILURES. 
Before receiving warranty service, Apple or its agents may 
require that you furnish proof of purchase details, respond to 
questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential issues 
and follow Apple’s procedures for obtaining warranty service. 
Before submitting your Apple Product for warranty service 
you should maintain a separate backup copy of the contents 
of its storage media, remove all personal information that 
you want to protect and disable all security passwords.
DURING WARRANTY SERVICE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE 
CONTENTS OF THE APPLE PRODUCT’S STORAGE MEDIA 
WILL BE LOST, REPLACED OR REFORMATTED. IN SUCH AN 
EVENT APPLE AND ITS AGENTS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR 
ANY LOSS OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA OR OTHER 
INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA OR ANY 
OTHER PART OF THE APPLE PRODUCT SERVICED.
Following warranty service your Apple Product or a 
replacement product will be returned to you as your Apple 
Product was configured when originally purchased, subject 
to applicable updates. You will be responsible for reinstalling 
all other software programs, data and information. Recovery 
and reinstallation of other software programs, data and 
information are not covered under this warranty.
WHAT WILL APPLE DO IN THE EVENT THE WARRANTY IS 
BREACHED?  If during the Warranty Period you submit a 
valid claim to Apple or an AASP, Apple will, at its option: (i) 
repair the Apple Product using new or previously used parts 
that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability; 
(ii) replace the Apple Product with a product that is at least 
functionally equivalent to the Apple Product and is formed 
from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent 
to new in performance and reliability; or (iii) exchange the 
Apple Product for a refund of your purchase price.
Apple may request that you replace certain user-installable 
parts or products. A replacement part or product, including 
a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance 
with instructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining 
warranty of the Apple Product or ninety (90) days from the 
date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer 
coverage for you. When a product or part is replaced or 
a refund provided, any replacement item becomes your 
property and the replaced or refunded item becomes 
Apple’s property.
