IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-07 11/2002
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2
replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement
of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for
resale. 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. Nothing in this Statement of Limited
Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or
limited by contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
("Specifications") which are available on request. The warranty period for the
Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of
Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. 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. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties
apply only in the country or region in which you purchased the Machine.

REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY
LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine,
or installed subsequently;
v failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any
Machine capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in
writing), accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, or improper maintenance by you;
