Apple One-Year Limited Warranty
WARRANTY COVERAGE
Apple’s warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:
Apple Asia LLC. (ìAppleî) warrants this hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase.
If a defect exists, at its sole discretion Apple will (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product. A replacement product assumes the remaining warranty period of the original product or 90 days, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes Appleís property. Warranty service will generally be provided by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
For Hardware Products. Deliver the product at your expense to any Apple Authorized Service Provider in the country where you purchased the product.
For Portable Hardware Products. (ìPortableî is defined as any product that can operate independently without a power cord.) For portable products you may obtain service worldwide. Be aware, however, that not all countries have Apple Authorized Service Providers and not all Authorized Service Providers outside the country of purchase have all parts or replacement units for the product. If the product cannot be repaired or replaced in the country it is in, it may need to be sent to a different country or returned to the country of purchase at your expense for repair or replacement.
For All Products. When you contact the Apple Authorized Service Provider, you will be asked to furnish (1) your name, address, telephone number, (2) proof of the original purchase containing a description of the product(s), purchase date, and the appropriate Apple serial number(s), and (3) the local warranty card with registration number issued by Apple (only in countries where Apple requires warranty registration).
When obtaining warranty service, you must comply with all relevant laws and regulations of the country where service is being obtained.
