IBM Statement of Limited Warranty for United States, Puerto Rico, and
Canada (Part 1 - General Terms)
This Statement of Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique
Terms. The terms of Part 2 may replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties
provided by IBM in this Statement of Warranty apply only to Machines you 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. The term ″Machine″ does not include any software programs,
whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire
the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact
IBM or your reseller.
Machine - 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive
Warranty period* - Three years
* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service
depending on the country where service is performed.
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 sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM
or your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide
warranty service, will provide repair and 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
or 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
your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in
good working order.
