6.1 Repairs will be performed by Telispire. Service will be available and rendered during the regular working hours and work week of the repair centers. Following Our diagnosis and claim approval, we will, at Our option, setup one of the following service events:
- Mail-in service. Direct mail-in service is available for most Covered Devices. If we determine that your Covered Device is eligible for mail-in service, we will send you a prepaid shipping label (and, if needed, packaging material) for you to ship the Covered Device to an authorized repair center according to the instructions provided by us. Once service is complete, we will return the Covered Device to you. We will pay for shipping to and from your location if you follow all instructions.
- Service where we require return of the replaced Covered Device or part. We may require a credit card authorization or other method to serve as security for the retail price of the replacement Covered Device or part and applicable shipping costs. We will ship a replacement device or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Covered Device or part. If you follow the instructions, the credit card authorization will be cancelled, so you will not be charged for the replacement Covered Device or part and the shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced device or part as instructed or return a replaced device or part that is ineligible for service, we will charge the credit card for the authorized amount. If you are not able to provide credit card authorization, this service may not be available to you, and we will offer an alternative service option.
- Service where we do not require the return of the original Covered Device or part. We will ship you free of charge a replacement Covered Device or part accompanied by instructions for installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced Covered Device or part. Neither we nor our third-party providers are responsible for any labor costs you incur in respect to ERS or DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, you should contact us, at the telephone number listed above.
6.2 We reserve the right to change the method by which we may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Device’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available from us in the country where you request service. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. If service is not available for the Covered Device in a country that is not the country of purchase, you may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you must 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. We may repair or exchange the Covered Device or its parts with a comparable device or parts that comply with the local standards of the countries where you request service.
