ADC Hardware Purchase Program

What is the ADC Hardware Purchase Program and who is eligible for hardware discounts through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program?

The ADC Hardware Purchase Program allows ADC Members to purchase, at a discount, a limited number of hardware systems to use for development or testing. ADC Premier members receive ten ADC Hardware Discount assets each membership year and ADC Select members receive one ADC Hardware Discount each membership year. Prices, product offerings, and program terms are subject to change at Apple's discretion. Prices for particular product purchases are those in effect at the time of shipment. All products are accompanied by Apple's standard limited hardware warranty for those products. Purchases made outside of the ADC Hardware Purchase Program will not be re-booked or credited at developer pricing. There are no refunds on items purchased through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program.

What is considered a "system" in the ADC Hardware Purchase Program?

A system is equivalent to one CPU (either desktop system; portable, server, or RAID). If you are purchasing peripherals (monitor, cable, etc.) you must order all items at the same time as your system purchase in order to receive a discount.

How do I get access to the developer hardware purchase program in my region?

System availability, prices, terms of sale, and ordering methods vary by region, so members taking advantage of the ADC Hardware Purchase Program should identify where their system will be shipped and then follow the specific instructions for that country or region. Please visit the ADC Hardware Purchase Program site for more detail and a listing of country stores.

I see special offers, rebates, and promotions on the online Apple Store/retail store/reseller store. Are purchases made through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program eligible for these promotions?

Purchases made through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program are NOT eligible for most Apple or third-party promotions or rebates. You may see wording on an online Store that indicates eligibility, however, please consult the official terms and conditions of all promotional offers before placing an order. There are no refunds on items purchased through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program.

If I don't use my discount(s) during my current membership year, may I roll them in to the next year if I renew?

No, the Hardware Purchase Program benefit, like your other member benefits, is only available during your membership year. However, when you renew your membership, you will receive the hardware discounts associated with that membership for the next year. Please be sure to read the Terms and Conditions of the ADC Hardware Purchase Program (PDF) thoroughly prior to purchasing.

The ADC Hardware Purchase Program provides discounts on hardware for development and testing purposes only. Are there any programs for discounts on hardware that can be used for other purposes?

ADC offers Premier and Select members the opportunity to purchase hardware at a discount for the purpose of showcasing solutions on the latest Apple hardware at a small number of specific tradeshows. Visit the Events Hardware Discounts web page to find out which shows currently have hardware promotions available to members.
