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.

During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will provide repair or exchange service for the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM and your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new but in good working order.
