AT&T Mobility LLC (“AT&T”) and its Affiliates, Assignees and Successors (collectively referred to as “We” or “Us” or “Our”) offer Our current customers the ability to exchange defective wireless devices that are Eligible Devices (as defined below) during the applicable warranty period (as set forth below) subject to the AT&T's Warranty Exchange Program (the “Program”) terms and conditions (the “Terms & Conditions”) as set forth below. These Terms & Conditions have an Effective Date of September 29, 2020. The purpose of the Program is to facilitate the warranty exchange of Eligible Devices on behalf of the device manufacturer for persons who are Our current customers at the time of the exchange. Former customers of Ours are not eligible for the Program and must exchange their defective devices by contacting the device manufacturer directly. For the terms and conditions of the manufacturer's warranty, refer to the in-box materials provided with your original device purchase or contact the manufacturer.

1. Eligible Devices

Except as set forth below, any new, AT&T Certified-Like-New (“CLN”) or Certified Restored (“CR”) wireless data or voice device that is purchased from Us directly or through one of Our authorized retailers who sells Our service or a device that has previously been replaced by insurance (i.e. Asurion) is eligible for the Program (each, an “Eligible Device”). Eligible Devices do not include:

  10. Any device belonging to any person who is not a customer of Ours at the time of the defect is discovered.
