6. Hardware Service Options
 
6.1 Apple will provide hardware services through one or more of the following options:
 
(i) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store or service provider may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.
 
(ii) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for Onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge.
 
(iii) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid waybills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, packaging material) and you will ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS location in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS location will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed. Alternatively, Apple or Apple Authorised Service Provider may arrange to pick your Covered Equipment up from you and then once the service is complete, ship the Covered Equipment back to you directly.
 
(iv) Express Replacement Service or do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service.  Express Replacement Service is available for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
 
(a) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced product or part. Apple may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer alternative arrangements for service. Apple will ship a replacement product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced product or part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.
 
(b) Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced product or part.
 
(c) Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, contact Apple at the telephone number listed below.
 
6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide 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 service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.

6. Hardware Service Options
 
6.1 Apple will provide hardware services through one or more of the following options:
 
(i) Carry-in service. Carry-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. Return the Covered Equipment to an Apple-owned retail store or an AASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or the store or service provider may send the Covered Equipment to an Apple repair service (“ARS”) location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will promptly retrieve the Covered Equipment.
 
(ii) Onsite service. Onsite service is available for many desktop computers if the location of the Covered Equipment is within 50 miles (80 kilometers) radius of an Apple Authorized Onsite Service Provider. Certain parts serviceable under do-it-yourself parts service, as described below, are not eligible for Onsite service. If Apple determines that onsite service is available, Apple will dispatch a service technician to the location of the Covered Equipment. Service will be performed at the location, or the service technician will transport the Covered Equipment to an AASP or ARS location for repair. If the Covered Equipment is repaired at an AASP or ARS location, Apple will arrange for transportation of the Covered Equipment to your location following service. If the service technician is not granted access to the Covered Equipment at the appointed time, any further onsite visits may be subject to an additional charge.
 
(iii) Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Equipment. If Apple determines that your Covered Equipment is eligible for mail-in service, Apple will send you prepaid way bills (and if you no longer have the original packaging, packaging material) and you will ship the Covered Equipment to an ARS location in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Once service is complete, the ARS location will return the Covered Equipment to you. Apple will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions are followed.
 
(iv) Express Replacement Service or do-it-yourself (“DIY”) parts service.  Express Replacement Service is available for certain Covered Equipment products, and DIY parts service is available for many Covered Equipment parts, allowing you to service your own product. If Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply.
 
(a) Service where Apple requires return of the replaced product or part. Apple may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, service may not be available to you and Apple will offer alternative arrangements for service. Apple will ship a replacement product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced product or part. If you follow the instructions, Apple will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or part that is ineligible for service, Apple will charge the credit card for the authorized amount.
 
(b) Service where Apple does not require return of the replaced product or part. Apple will ship you free of charge a replacement product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced product or part.
 
(c) Apple is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to Express Replacement Service or DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, contact Apple at the telephone number listed below.
 
6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide 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 service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.
