If my device is repaired or replaced, is the repaired or replaced device protected?

In the event that the repaired device or your replacement device fails to function due to any defects in parts or workmanship during this 12 month warranty period, we will repair it at no cost to you. Such service will not be charged against your Service Request limit.

What determines if a walk-in, we come to you, or mail-in repair option is available for my device?
