2. You return the device and original receipt to your purchase location.

All Bell mobile phones and smartphones are covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty from the date of purchase, with the original bill of sale. For all defects covered by the limited warranty, the manufacturer will repair the device (or at their discretion, exchange for a refurbished unit). If the manufacturer replaces the device, the replacement device will carry a warranty period equivalent to the remainder of the original device's warranty, or will be covered for 90 days from the date of replacement, whichever period is longer. The manufacturer's limited warranty does not cover defects or damage caused by:

• improper storage
• damage from liquids
• unauthorized modification
• misuse
• neglect
• abuse
• accidents
• alteration
• improper installation
• abnormal operating conditions
• events outside of human control, such as natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible.

Your Mobile Internet device will be replaced with another when either in-warranty or out-of-warranty service is required. These devices will be exchanged in 24 to 72 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). Shipping times vary nationally.

If your device requires a repair that is not covered by the manufacturer’s limited one-year warranty, an out-of-warranty quote will be provided by the repair facility.

• If you choose to repair your device, you will be responsible for all fees. You will receive a 12-month warranty on the completed repair.
• If you choose not to repair it, your device will be returned at no cost.
