The

warranties

provided

you

originally

purchase

for

your use,

and

not

for

resale,

from

IBM

or

your

reseller.

The term “Machine” means an IBM

machine,

its

features,

conversions,

upgrades,

elements, or accessories, or any

combination

of

them.

Unless IBM

specifies

otherwise,

the

following

warranties

apply

only

in

the

country

where

you

acquire

the

Machine.

If

you

have

any

questions,

Production	status
Each Machine	is manufactured	from	new	parts,		or	new	and	used	parts. In
some cases, the Machine may			not	be	new	and	may	have	been	previously
installed.	Regardless of the	Machine's			production		status,		IBM's	warranty terms
apply.

The

IBM

Warranty

for

machines

IBM warrants that each Machine

1)

is

free

from

defects

in

materials

and

workmanship

and

2)

conforms

to

IBM's

Official

Published

Specifications.

The

warranty

period for a Machine is a specified,

fixed

period

commencing

on

its

Date

of

Installation.

The

date

on

your

receipt

is

the

Date

of

Installation,

unless

IBM

or

your

reseller

informs you

otherwise.

During

the

warranty

period

IBM

or

your

reseller,

if

authorized

by

IBM,

will

provide

warranty

service

under

the

type

of

service

designated

for

the

Machine

and

will

manage

and

install

engineering

changes

that

apply

to

the

Machine.

For

IBM

or

your

reseller

to

provide

warranty

service

for

a

feature,

conversion,

or

upgrade,

IBM

or

your

reseller

may

require

that

the

Machine

on

which

it

is

installed

be

1)

for

certain

Machines,

the

designated,

serial-numbered

Machine

and

2)

at

an

engineering-change

level

compatible

with

the

feature,

conversion,

or

upgrade.

Many

of

these

transactions

involve

the

removal

of

parts

and

their

return

to

IBM.

You

represent

that

all

removed

parts

are

genuine

and

unaltered.

A part

that

replaces

a

removed

part

will

assume

the

warranty

service

status of

the

replaced

part.

If

a

Machine

does

not

function

as

warranted

during

the

warranty

period,

IBM

or

your

reseller will repair it or

replace

it

with

one

that is

at

least

functionally

equivalent,

without

charge.

The

replacement

may

not

be

new,

but

will

be

in

good

working

order.

If

IBM

or

your

reseller

is

unable

to

repair

or

replace

the

Machine,

you

may

return

it

to

your

place

of

purchase

and

your

money

will

be

refunded.

If

you

transfer

a

Machine

to

another

user,

warranty

service

is

available

to

that

user

for

the

remainder

of

the

warranty

period.

You

should

give

your

proof

of

purchase

and this Statement to that

user.

However,

for

Machines

which

have

a

lifetime

warranty,

this

warranty

is

not transferable.
