If your claim is denied or out of warranty
Common reasons Beats denies a claim or treats it as out of warranty:
- Damage caused by accident, liquid contact, fire, earthquake, or other external causes.
- Product that has been modified or serviced by anyone other than Apple or an authorized Apple Service Provider.
- Missing or invalid proof of purchase, or product is outside the one-year limited warranty period.
- Cosmetic damage, such as scratches, dents, or broken plastic on ports, that does not affect functionality.
Third-party protection plans (Asurion, Upsie, SquareTrade) or your credit card's purchase protection may still cover a repair or replacement — check those before paying out of pocket.
