Apple’s Limited One-Year Warranty

With this warranty certificate, Apple confirms its commitment to satisfying customer claims under consumer protection laws or regulations concerning hardware defects arising from materials and manufacturing. The warranty terms comply with the laws of the country where the product was purchased, and the terms are interpreted accordingly.

Apple’s Warranty Obligations

Apple, as defined below, warrants this Apple-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser (“Warranty Period”). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, Apple will, at its option and to the extent permitted by law:
repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts;
exchange the product with a product that is new or that has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product;
refund the purchase price of the product.

Apple may require you to replace defective parts with new or refurbished user-installable parts that Apple provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product or part, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with Apple’s instructions, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property, and the replaced item becomes Apple’s property. Parts provided by Apple in fulfillment of its warranty obligation must be used in products for which warranty service is claimed. When a refund is given, the product for which the refund is provided must be returned to Apple and becomes Apple’s property.

Terms for Warranty Service

Before requesting warranty service, please review the online help resources referred to in the documentation provided with the purchased product.
If after using these resources, your product does not function properly and you purchased the product in Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania, please contact the store representative from which you purchased the product, or Apple’s authorized service providers (AASP, Apple Authorized Service Providers) – their contact details can be found in this warranty certificate or on our website. If you contact Apple by phone, other charges may apply depending on your location. When contacting, an Apple representative or AASP will help determine whether your product requires service and, if service is required, will inform you about how Apple will provide it. You must help answer questions that arise during problem diagnosis of your product and follow Apple’s warranty processes.
If you seek assistance in Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania, then Apple offers warranty service at Apple's authorized service providers' (AASP) location and only if the defective Apple product is presented during the warranty period along with 1) a warranty certificate and/or the original invoice or other purchase proof documenting the purchase date, invoice or receipt number, product price, dealer information, and product serial number; 2) registration information as and to the extent that you can provide it. By acquiring this warranty certificate and/or invoice or other purchase proof, you confirm you have reviewed all the information given in this warranty certificate.
If a defect arises in Apple Ipod/Isight products and a justified claim is made after one hundred eighty (180) days from purchase, transportation and/or handling fees may apply to product repair or replacement by Apple.
Service options, part availability, and response times may vary depending on the country where service is requested. Service options may change at any time. You may be responsible for shipping and handling costs if the product cannot be serviced in the country where service is requested. If you want service in a country not the purchase country, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all customs duties, VAT, and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair and replace defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards. Consistent with applicable law, Apple may require you to furnish proof of purchase details and/or comply with registration requirements before receiving warranty service. Please see the included documentation for more details on obtaining warranty service or with questions related to it.
Apple will maintain and use customer information in accordance with the Apple Customer Privacy Policy, accessible at www.apple.com/legal/privacy.
If your product can store software programs, data, or other information, you should make periodic backup copies of the information contained on the product's hard drive or other storage media to protect the contents and as a precaution against possible operational failures. Before delivering your product for warranty service, you must make separate backup copies of the contents and disable all security passwords. It is possible that during warranty service, the contents of your hard drive will be lost or reformatted, and Apple and its representatives will not be liable for damage or loss of programs, data, or other information stored on any media or part of the serviced product. Your product will be returned to you configured as originally purchased, subject to applicable updates. You are responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data, and passwords. Restoration and reinstallation of software programs and user data are not covered under this Limited Warranty.
