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.
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 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.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces
becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are 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 service status of the replaced item.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also agree to ensure that the Machine is free of
any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange.
