Multi-country Warranty and Exchange Scenarios Scenario 1: The customer purchases Surface devices in the UK and ships the devices to Germany (both are Surface launch countries) Warranty Terms: The terms and conditions of warranty policies are specific to the country where the device is purchased. In this case the standard warranty coverage lasts for 1 year per the UK policy. Exchange Terms: If still under warranty, Microsoft can replace the defective device, type cover or accessory in Germany (where customer resides). All replacement units will be form the SKUs available in Germany . Note: All replacement devices are shipped directly from the distributor and do not come with any value added service that the ADR provided.

Scenario 2: The customer purchases Surface devices in Germany and ships the devices to Poland where Surface is not currently sold. Warranty Terms: The terms and conditions of warranty policies are specific to the country where the device is purchased. In this case the standard warranty coverage lasts for 2 year per the policy for Germany. Exchange Terms: If still under warranty, Microsoft can replace the defective device, type cover or accessory in Poland (where customer resides). All replacement units will be from the UK SKU (as Poland does not have any SKUs) but shipped to the customer location (ie Poland) Note: Since Poland is an EU member and by law Microsoft must provide support for customers in all European Union (EU) countries.
