THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND
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. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. Unless specified
otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via
telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be
provided
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
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. 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
