IBM Statement of Warranty Worldwide except Canada,
Puerto Rico, Turkey, United States (Part 1 - General Terms)
This Statement of Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique Terms.The terms of Part 2
may replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Warranty apply only to
Machines you 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. The term
“Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or
otherwise.Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the
Machine.Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or
limited by contract.If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
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.
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.

WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
