country where service is performed.

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 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.
