Are used MacBooks covered with Apple warranty in 1-year from initial purchase?

Hello!


Short story: Can someone tell me if used MacBooks are covered with Apple warranty if it is still within 1-year warranty period?


Long story: Purchased a MacBook on Amazon that was marked as "used" but item arrived absolutely new, factory sealed. Activated it 5th June. Warranty coverrage info on Apple page says it IS coevered with warranty and it complies a warranty rule to have an invoice. Am I right that I have this item covered wtih warranty? Can I activate an Apple Care for this MacBook?

Yes, i did check the coverage on the like stated above and it says that item has warranty coverage for 1 year (till 5th June 2014).


But maybe there's a catch concerning used items or the second owner. I searched the Apple Warranty agreement but didn't find anything concerning "used" or "new" - only that I must have an invoice or receipt.


I have some doubts becvause device condition stated in invoice as "used". (But the device arrived abolutely new - package was still in factory shrink wrap.)


Why all this matters:

I'm going to purchase an Apple Care Protection Plan, but I have doubts that it is eligible for it because item bought was stated as "used" (though it was new in fact)
