(collectively “COMPANY”) products. COMPANY brands include Apex. Types of products include I/O Sensor. By signing and submitting Your enrollment application and payment for a Plan(s), you agree to be bound by and are entitled to these terms and conditions for the duration of the Agreement. Upon acceptance of your enrollment application and successful processing of Your payment, You will be enrolled in the Plan(s) for the term that you selected and any subsequent renewal term. Each Plan provides certain support and cost replacement benefits in connection with your COMPANY products (individually and collectively, “Hardware”) and their software and those software modules licensed to You by COMPANY (“Software”). The Hardware and Software are collectively referred to as your “COMPANY System.” Coverage is limited to customer-owned, serialized Hardware located at the address imprinted on the enrollment form. 1. Enrollment in a Plan. To enroll in the Plan(s), you must provide COMPANY with a completed enrollment form, including your choice of Plan(s) and payment option, along with full payment or payment instrument in the dollar amount that corresponds to the options you have selected, plus any applicable taxes.
