IBM Aptiva 2198, Reference Manual

Page: 160 / 186

Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date
on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs
you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide
warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, without
charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and
install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or
your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at
least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your
money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good
working order.
Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from
misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper
maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification
labels.
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.
