How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan

THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS PLAN SHALL NOT PREJUDICE THE RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER LAW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF THE NON-PERFORMANCE BY APPLE OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

1. The Plan

This contract (the “Plan”) governs the services provided by Apple under the above plans and includes the terms in this document, your Plan Confirmation (“Plan Confirmation”), and the original sales receipt for your Plan. Your Plan Confirmation will be provided to you at the time of purchase or sent to you automatically thereafter. If you purchased your Plan from Apple, you may obtain a copy of your Plan Confirmation by going to mysupport.apple.com/products.

Benefits under this Plan are additional to your rights under applicable laws, the manufacturer's hardware warranty and any complimentary technical support. The terms of the Plan apply the same whether paid for on a one-time basis (“Single-Pay Plan”) or a monthly basis (“Monthly Pay Plan”) unless otherwise noted.

The Plan covers the following equipment (collectively, the “Covered Equipment”): (i) the Apple Watch, HomePod, iPad (including an Apple Pencil and an Apple-branded iPad keyboard purchased for use with your iPad, referred to as an “iPad Input Device”), iPhone, iPod, or the Apple- or Beats-branded headphones listed on your Plan Confirmation (“Covered Device”), and (ii) the accessories contained inside the original packaging of your Covered Device.

Coverage begins when you purchase the Plan and continues, unless cancelled, through the date specified in your Plan Confirmation (the “Plan Term”).

You can find the price of the Plan on the original sales receipt.

2. What is Covered?

2.1 Hardware Services for Defects or Consumed Battery (“Hardware Service”)

If during the Plan Term, you submit a valid claim by notifying Apple that a defect in materials and workmanship has arisen in the Covered Equipment or, in relation to Covered Equipment which uses an integrated rechargeable battery, where the capacity of the Covered Device's battery to hold an electrical charge is less than eighty percent (80%) of its original specifications, Apple will either: (i) repair the defect at no charge, using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) exchange the Covered Equipment with a replacement product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.

All replacement products provided under this Plan will at a minimum be 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 effective for the remainder of the Plan Term.

2.2 Services for Accidental Damage from Handling (“ADH Service”)

If during the Plan Term 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 (i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (ii) 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. Further, services for ADH expire and all of Apple’s obligations to you under this Section are fulfilled in their entirety once Apple has provided to you two (2) Service Events within each twelve (12)-month period based on your Plan’s original purchase date as specified on the original sales receipt. All other Plan benefits continue throughout and you are entitled to two (2) new ADH Service Events after the expiration of each twelve (12)-month period of continued coverage.

Important: Please refer to Section 3 for exclusions on provision of ADH Service. The following service fees apply to each Service Event:

Apple Watch (excluding Edition and Hermès): 5,900 ₹

Apple Watch (Edition or Hermès): 6,900 ₹

HomePod: 2,900 ₹

iPad Pro: 3,900 ₹

iPad (all other models): 3,900 ₹

iPad Input Devices: 2,500 ₹

iPhone:

Screen-Only Damage: 2,500 ₹

All Other Damage: 8,900 ₹

iPod: 2,500 ₹

Apple-branded headphones: 2,500 ₹

Beats-branded headphones: 2,500 ₹

*Fees include applicable taxes payable by you

ADH Service for an iPad Input Device will count as a separate Service Event from ADH Service of your iPad and count towards your two Service Events, even if both your iPad and an iPad Input Device are damaged at the same time.

For iPhone – Screen-Only Damage, the Covered Device must have no additional damage beyond the screen, including, but not limited to, a bent or dented enclosure, that would prevent Apple from replacing the screen on the Covered Device. Covered Devices with additional damage will be charged as iPhone All Other Damage. Screen-Only repairs are not available on devices other than iPhones.

The ADH coverage under this Plan is insured by Tata AIG General Insurance Company Limited

(“Insurer”) pursuant to an insurance policy issued to Apple. For ADH coverage, Apple will provide for the Service Events under this Section 2.2 and will cover the costs of such Service Events in excess of your service fee.

Please note that if you seek service under this Plan in a country other than your country of purchase, the service fee will need to be paid in that country’s currency and at that country’s applicable rate – for further details, including regarding applicable fees by country, please visit the AppleCare+ support website at apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/applecareplus/.

2.3 Technical Support

During the Plan Term, Apple will provide you with priority access to telephone and web-based technical support for Covered Equipment (“Technical Support”). Your Technical Support starts on expiration of the complimentary technical support provided by Apple, which starts on the date you purchase the Covered Equipment. Technical support may include assistance with installation, launch, configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery (excluding data recovery), including storing, retrieving, and managing files; interpreting system error messages; and determining when hardware service is required or ADH coverage may be applicable. Apple will provide support for the then-current version of the supported software, and the prior Major Release. For purposes of this section, the term “Major Release” means a significant version of software that is commercially released by Apple in a release number format such as ”1.0” or “2.0” and which is not in beta or pre-release form.

Apple Technical Support is limited to the following: (i) the Covered Equipment, (ii) the Apple- branded Operating System (“OS”) and Apple- or Beats-branded software applications that are pre-installed on or designed to operate with the Covered Equipment (“Consumer Software”), and (iii) connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a laptop or desktop computer, or other compatible wireless device that meets the Covered Equipment’s connectivity specifications and runs an operating system supported by the Covered Equipment. Exclusions apply as described below.

3. What is not Covered?

3.1 Hardware Service and ADH Service

Apple may restrict Hardware Service and ADH Service to the country where the Covered Equipment was originally purchased.

Apple will not provide Hardware Service or ADH Service in the following circumstances:

(a) to protect against normal wear and tear, or to repair cosmetic damage not affecting the functionality of the Covered Equipment;
(b) to conduct preventative maintenance;
(c) to replace Covered Equipment that is lost or stolen;

(d) to repair damage caused by reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct, or any use of the Covered Equipment in a manner not normal or intended by Apple;
(e) to install, remove or dispose of the Covered Equipment or the equipment provided to you while the Covered Equipment is being serviced;

(f) to repair damage caused by a product that is not Covered Equipment;

(l) to protect against damage caused by any civil or foreign war, invasion, rebellion, civil commotion, confiscation by the authorities, order of any government, public authority, or custom officials.

Installation of third-party parts may affect your coverage. As a condition of receiving Hardware or ADH Services, all Covered Equipment must be returned to Apple in its entirety including all original parts or Apple-authorized replacement components. The restriction does not prejudice your consumer law rights.

Apple will not provide Technical Support in the following circumstances:

(a) For use of the OS and Consumer Software as server-based applications;
(b) For issues that could be resolved by upgrading software to the then-current version;

(e) For software other than the Consumer Software;
(f) For any Consumer Software designated as “beta”, “prerelease”, or “preview”, or similar designation; or
(g) For damage to, or loss of, any software or data that was residing or recorded on the Covered Equipment (note: the Plan does not cover the recovery or reinstallation of software programs and user data).

4. How to Obtain Service and Support?

You may obtain service or Technical Support by calling Apple or accessing support.apple.com/ en-in. You must provide the Plan Agreement Number or Covered Device serial number. You must also, upon request, present your Plan Confirmation, and the original sales receipt for your Covered Device and your Plan.

5. Service Options

Apple will provide Hardware or ADH Service to you through one or more of these options:

(a) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store location or to an Apple-authorized service provider (“AASP”) that offers carry-in service. Service will be performed for you at the store, or the store may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) site for service. You must promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.

(b) Pickup and delivery repair service. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for pickup and delivery repair service, Apple will arrange to pick up your Covered Equipment. Once service is complete, Apple will return the Covered Equipment or a replacement product to you. Apple will pay for pickup and delivery to and from your location if all instructions are followed.

Apple may change the method by which Apple provides repair or replacement service to you and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service.

Service will be limited to the options available in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary. If service is not available for the Covered Equipment in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service in a country where service is available. If you seek

service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. or GST and other associated sales taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

Third-party applications installed on the Covered Equipment may not be compatible or work with the Covered Equipment as a result of the OS update. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data, and passwords.
