Appendix B. Lenovo Limited Warranty

L505-0010-00 09/2006

This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you purchased for your own use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes be referred to as the ″Statement of Limited Warranty″ (SOLW) in other documents from Lenovo.

What this Warranty Covers

Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date of purchase specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″

THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a ″Service Provider.″ A list of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/ support/phone.

Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific information.

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems

When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures specified.

Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software updates.

Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself (such as keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive, or port replicator), called a ″Customer Replaceable Unit″ or ″CRU.″ If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
