11/2002
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 - Country-unique
Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of
Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. 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.
Nothing in this Statement of Limited
Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by
contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2)
conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (
″
Specifications
″
) which are available
on request. The warranty period for the Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and
is specified in Part 3 - Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the
Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that
replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part. Unless
IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country or region in which you
purchased the Machine.
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. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or installed
subsequently;
v failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine capacity or
capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident, modification, unsuitable
physical or operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;
v failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and
v any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with or
integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.
