If Your Covered Device fails because of accidental damage from handling, Apple will, subject to the relevant service fee 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, a "Service Event").
