About the purchase date or expiration date for your AppleCare agreement

Understanding the limitations of Apple’s service coverage system (“System”) can help avoid problems. The information contained in the System is designed to help customers determine if service for their products is covered under the terms of Apple’s limited warranty or an Apple extended service contract, such as the AppleCare Protection Plan and AppleCare+.

For customers whose products are covered by consumer protection laws or regulations in their country, region, or state of purchase, the service coverage described in the System may not reflect all rights and remedies conveyed by such consumer protection laws and regulations. This may include the right of customers in California and other jurisdictions to have the warranty period extended for the number of whole days that the product has been out of the customer’s hands for warranty repairs. In order to calculate the number of days that the warranty period is extended, Apple may require customers to submit the original sales receipt of your product and repair service documentation. Please also note that the information in the System does not reflect any other additional programs that may extend Apple’s coverage, like those described on the Exchange and Repair Extension Programs page.

The service coverage information described in the System is based on the date of purchase information available to Apple. Depending on when or whether you registered your product, if you purchased it from an Apple authorized reseller or Apple Store, the estimated purchase date may be incorrect. If you believe that the information is inaccurate, please update the information by contacting Apple using the appropriate link on this page. Recently submitted information and repair service warranty coverage may not be reflected in the System records. Customers may not use the System for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited, or to solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity that infringes the rights of Apple or others.
