Product Replacement Service Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions will apply to  Product Replacement Service provided in conjunction with any services offered under Apple's Limited Warranty.  This service is additional to the service options available at no charge under Apple’s warranty and does not otherwise affect your statutory rights.

i. If you want to minimize the amount of time without your Apple product and if Apple determines that your product is eligible for  replacement, and you choose to order  the replacement 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 fourteen (14) 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  Product Replacement Service, 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 loss of the original product or other payments due Apple.
