  • qualifies (model-proposed): Covers manufacturing defects in a new Roku brand television sold by an Authorized Dealer in the U.S. — The coverage card requires a device purchased and delivered new from an Authorized Dealer in the United States; this exclusion states the converse boundaries: a device bought outside the United States, sold in a used, open-box, demo, as-is or refurbished condition, or with altered serial numbers is not covered.
  • contrast (model-proposed): Roku chooses between in-home repair, paying a service center, or replacing the television — A device purchased in refurbished, factory reconditioned or similar condition is excluded from coverage, while the replacement remedy may supply a new or refurbished / remanufactured device of equivalent value. The two provisions concern different devices: the condition of the device the purchaser bought, and the condition of the device Roku may provide as a remedy, so they are consistent rather than contradictory.
