Exchange of a Product or Part

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be refunded.

When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty status of the replaced item.

Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:

1.remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;

2.ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange; and

3.obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product that you do not own.
