To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or IBM. In the
United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call IBM at
1-800-565-3344. (In Toronto, call 416-383-3344.) You may be required to present
proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service,
either at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore
them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will
inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country
of installation. IBM may repair the failing Machine or exchange it at its
discretion.
When warranty 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.
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be
installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated,
serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible
with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or
upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that
replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the
removed part.
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
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations, and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
