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.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your re-seller or call
IBM. In the United States or Canada, call your point of purchase or IBM customer
technical support at 1-800-358-6661 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m, Eastern Standard
Time. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) mail-in repair at IBM's Depot location
(called Depot Mail-in Repair), 2) a “Repair” service at your location (called “On-site”), 3)
a “Repair” service at one of IBM's or a re-seller's service locations (called “Carry-in”), or
4) “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your re-seller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
It is your responsibility to:
1. Obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have IBM or your
re-seller service a Machine that you do not own;
2. Where applicable, before service is provided:
a. Follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your re-seller provide,
b. Secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. Inform IBM or your re-seller of changes in a Machine's location, and
d. For a Machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. Also, the Machine
must be free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
and
3. If the machine is not shipped in an IBM box, be responsible for loss of, or damage
to, a Machine in transit when you are responsible for the transportation charges.
4. Be responsible for any damage resulting from improper packing of a Machine sent
to IBM for “Depot Mail-in Repair” or “Exchange.”
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper
maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible
may void the warranties.
