i. If Apple determines that your product is eligible for ERS, and you choose to order ERS by providing to Apple your credit card details, Apple will ship to your designated location a replacement product. You will return your product so that Apple receives it within ten (10) days from the date Apple ships the replacement product (the “Return Period”). You must return the original product in the package that contained the replacement product in accordance with Apple’s instructions. Apple will retain the original product and you will retain the replacement product.

ii. For the ERS, Apple will charge your credit card the ERS Charge, described at the Product Service FAQ webpages described below (“Service FAQ”) at the time the replacement product ships. At the time the replacement product ships, Apple will effect an authorization against your credit card equal to the replacement value of a new product (“Replacement Value”), described at the Service FAQ. This authorization will be maintained by Apple and will be applied against any damage to the original product that is not eligible for Out-of-Warranty Service, or loss of the original product or other payments due Apple. Repairs are considered Out-of-Warranty when:

• Your product is no longer covered by the Apple warranty, AppleCare service plan or by consumer law.
• The issue you are reporting was caused by accidental damage or unauthorized modifications or if said accidental damage or unauthorized modifications prevent Apple from addressing the issue you are reporting.

iii. If Apple receives the original product within the Return Period in a condition that is not eligible for Out-of-Warranty Service, your credit card will be charged an additional amount representing the difference between the replacement value of a new product (“Replacement Value”) and the Out-of-Warranty Service Fee, as described at the Service FAQ. An original product that is inoperable due to unauthorized modifications or has failed due to catastrophic damage, such as the product separating into multiple pieces, are examples of a product that is ineligible for Out-of-Warranty Service.

iv. If the original product is returned to Apple within the Return Period, the remainder of the Replacement Value will be credited back to your credit card after confirmation that all other applicable charges have been paid. If Apple does not receive the original product within the Return Period, your credit card will be charged the Replacement Value. All fees and charges described herein exclude all applicable taxes.

v. Additional Terms. In addition to the terms described herein, Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions, as described at www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/generalservice.html will apply.

vi. Country variations. The following country variations will control if inconsistent with any provision of these terms:

a) Australia: The contractual rights in respect of returns, refunds and warranties you may be entitled to under these terms are in addition to the statutory rights you may be entitled to under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a repair, replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”
