STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines 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, contact IBM or your reseller.
PRODUCT 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 life-time warranty, this warranty is not transferable.
WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or call IBM. In the United
States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to
present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service, either at your location or
at IBM’s or your reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to good working order. Types of service
may vary from country to country. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service
for a Machine based on its country of installation.
