The following warranty information applies to products
purchased in the United States, Canada, and Puerto
Rico. For warranty terms and conditions for products
purchased in other countries, see the enclosed
Warranty insert, or contact your IBM reseller or IBM
marketing representative.
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.

Machine: 8.4 GB Deskstar Hard Disk Drive P/N: 01K1316, 01K1318

*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.
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is
available to that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You
should give your proof of purchase and this Statement to that user.
However, for Machines which have a life-time warranty, this
warranty is not transferable.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your
reseller or call 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 will provide certain types of repair and
exchange service, either at your location or at IBM's or your
reseller's service center, to restore a Machine to good working order.
When a type of 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. 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 ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange.
You agree to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your
reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
2. where applicable, before service is provided —
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and
service request procedures that IBM or your reseller
provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a
Machine, and
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's
location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it
is 1) in IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM
is responsible for the transportation charges.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a
Machine.
The warranties may be voided by misuse, accident, modification,
unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance
by you, removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification
labels, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not
responsible.
