- The Plan
This service contract governs the services provided to you by Apple under the above mentioned plan (the “Plan”) for the Apple branded product and the accessories contained in its original packaging (“Covered Equipment”) listed on your proof of coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”).
For the purposes of this Plan, Apple will mean the entity or the successor in title to the entity listed in section 11 below. The Plan covers Covered Equipment: (i) iPhone with Hardware Serial Number as listed on your Plan Confirmation (“Covered Device”), (ii) the accessories contained inside the original packaging of your Covered Device. Your Plan Confirmation contains your Plan’s registration number (“Plan Agreement Number”) with Apple. - When Coverage Begins and Ends
Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan (“Plan Purchase Date”) and ends on the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (“Coverage Period”), unless cancelled. This Plan can be purchased only within 7 calendar days from all channels and 60 days through video verification (available at limited channels/outlets) of the original purchase of the Covered Device, and subject to the Covered Device being in its perfect working condition. The terms of this Plan, the original sales receipt for your Plan and the Plan Confirmation are each part of your service contract. - What is Covered?
- Hardware Service
If during the Coverage Period, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that- a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment or,
- the capacity of the covered iPhone battery to hold an electrical charge has depleted fifty (50%) percent or more from its original specifications, Apple will either (a) repair the defect at no charge, using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (b) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability, and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product. If Apple exchanges the Covered Equipment, the original product becomes Apple’s property and the replacement product is your property, with coverage for the remaining period of the Plan.
- Services for Accidental Damage from Handling (“ADH Service”)
If during the Coverage Period you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that the Covered Device has failed due to accidental damage from handling resulting from an unexpected and unintentional external event (such as, drops and damage caused by liquid contact) (“ADH”), Apple will, subject to your payment of the service fee described below, either- repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or
- exchange the Covered Device with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. Each time you receive services for ADH is a “Service Event”. Exclusions apply as described below.

- One (1) Service Event within the first twelve (12) month period from your Plan Purchase Date as specified on the Plan Confirmation.
- One (1) Service Event from beginning of the thirteenth (13th) month from your Plan Purchase Date up to end of the Coverage Period, based on your Plan’s original purchase date as specified on the Plan Confirmation.
