IBM PC 300GL Types 6275, Using Manual

Page: 136 / 154

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 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 or replacement parts 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 a service center, to restore Machines 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.
Non-IBM machines are provided by IBM “AS IS”
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
The warranties will 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.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR

THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE
OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
