Mac liquid damage applecare+

So tonight I spilt redbull on the keyboard of my macbook air and I immediately turned the computer upside down to try and get it out and dabbed it with a paper towel. After it seemed dry I set my mac aside for about an hour or 2 and when I tried to check if it was fine the computer wouldn’t start up or respond to anything screen is just black keys not lighting up. Very upsetting as I just bought this computer February 27th of this year. (not even 2 months ago)

But I felt like there was some hope because I also purchased the AppleCare+ plan with the computer. But when I started looking on apple support it says the plan doesn’t protect against liquid damage. But when I read the terms and conditions of apple care plus it said; “ADH coverage only applies to an operational or mechanical failure caused by an accident from handling that is the result of an unexpected and unintentional external event (e.g. drops and damage caused by liquid contact from spills) that arises from your normal daily usage of the Covered Device as intended for such Covered Device.”

So now I’m scared that I’m not going to be covered by apple and I was hoping to hear from someone who may have already gone through this before or may know more about what I should do going forward.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Liquid damage from spills is covered (for the Tier 2 fee of $299 in the U.S.). Submerging in liquid is what isn't covered. See: Legal - AppleCare+ - Apple
