Hardware Limited Warranty
The following is the statement of limited warranty for the United States, Canada,
and Puerto Rico.
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.
International Business Machines Corporation Armonk, New York, 10504
Machine: PC 365 with Pentium Pro Processor
Warranty Period*: Three years
*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
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.
