Exercising your Upgrade Option. 

To exercise your Upgrade Option you must follow the process and the instructions for the Upgrade Option specified by Apple from time to time, including without limitation:

• Purchase new eligible iPhone at a Qualifying Location after having paid the 24th or 25th installment and before entering into 26th payment month under your Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan, subject to terms and conditions determined by Apple.
• Trade in and return your Financed iPhone within the timeframe specified by Apple in the Trade In process, in good physical and operational condition (as detailed above). Disable Activation Lock, back up and erase all of your data, and remove your SIM card prior to returning the original Financed iPhone, if exercising your Upgrade Option via apple.com/ jp or Apple Store App. You can trade in only when your Financed iPhone falls under the eligible models to trade-in under this offer which Apple separately designates and updates from time to time.

Termination of Original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan, After Exercising Upgrade Option. 

Upon Apple’s determination you have successfully exercised your Upgrade Option as outlined above, Apple will pay any remaining balance due under your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan (“Remaining Balance”) on your behalf to Paidy, and Paidy will consider your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan to be paid in full. The greater of either (i) one-third of the list price of your original Financed iPhone (including tax, and excluding promotional discounts and trade-in credits) or (ii) available trade-in value offered by Apple for the original Financed iPhone at the time of your exercise of the Upgrade Option will be deemed as “Estimated Trade-in Value”, and if the Estimated Trade-in Value is greater than the Remaining Balance, such difference (“Deductible Difference”) will be deducted from your new iPhone purchase. If your new iPhone purchase is made using a Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan, your subsequent monthly payments will be made under the terms of your new Paidy Plus for Apple installment plan (“New Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan”), subject to the conditions of “Return of New, Upgraded iPhone After Exercising Upgrade Option,” as set forth below. 

Return of Financed iPhone.

If you exercise your Upgrade Option, and fail to return your original Financed iPhone or fail to successfully complete ID authentication for the trade-in as directed by Apple within the timeframe specified by Apple, your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan will continue and you will be responsible for any missed and/or remaining installment payments, the Deductible Difference as well as any installment payments under any New Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan that you undertake. 

If you exercise your Upgrade Option and your original iPhone is not in good physical or operational condition as outlined above, Apple may decide in its sole discretion to either: (i) return your original Financed iPhone to you and your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan will continue and you will be responsible for any missed and/or remaining installment payments, the Deductible Difference as well as any installment payments under any New Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan that you undertake; or (ii) provide you a requoted trade-in value (“Requoted Trade-in Value”). If you refuse the Requoted Trade-in Value, your original Financed iPhone will be returned to you and your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan will continue and you will be responsible for  any missed and/or remaining installment payments, the Deductible Difference as well as any installment payments under any New Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan that you undertake. If you accept the Requoted Trade-in Value, your original Financed iPhone will not be returned to you, and you will be responsible for any difference between the Estimated Trade-in Value and the Requoted Trade-in Value, as well as any installment payments under any New Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan that you undertake, and your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan may continue.

Trade-in Service Provider. 

A third-party trade-in partner (“Trade-In Service Provider”) will handle the trade in of your Financed iPhone, not Apple. Upon exercising your Upgrade Option, title and ownership of the Financed iPhone transfers to Trade-In Service Provider, and you disclaim any further right, title or interest in and to the Financed iPhone, and assign to Apple the right to collect from the Trade-In Service Provider, where applicable, the value of the Financed iPhone, in exchange for Apple paying the balance of your original Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan on your behalf to Paidy. Apple or the Trade-In Service Provider may amend or supplement the terms and conditions that govern the trade in of your Financed iPhone. Any fees, charges, or payments made to exercise the Upgrade Option are not reversible and will not be refunded. Any personal data processed by the Trade-In Service Provider shall be done for its own benefit under its own terms and conditions and privacy policy, and not on behalf of Apple. 

Data on the Financed iPhone. 

You are solely responsible for removing all data, including confidential and personal data, from the Financed iPhone prior to the trade-in. It is your sole responsibility to back-up any files or data from your Financed iPhone that you wish to retain prior to trading-in your Financed iPhone. Data recovery is not a part of the 36 Month iPhone Offer and neither Apple nor the Trade-In Service Provider accept any responsibility or liability for any lost files or data.

Return of New, Upgraded iPhone After Exercising Upgrade Option.

Should you exercise the Upgrade Option and subsequently return your new, upgraded iPhone under the terms of Apple’s Returns and Refunds Policy, the Financed iPhone that you traded in will not be returned to you and the Paidy Plus for Apple Installment Plan associated with your new, upgraded iPhone will be terminated.
