Safety and warranty guide

•  failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable 

physical or operating environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper 
maintenance by you;

•  damage caused by a non-authorized service provider;
•  failure of, or damage caused by, any third party products, including those that 

Lenovo may provide or integrate into the Lenovo product at your request; and

•  any technical or other support, such as assistance with “how-to” questions and 

those regarding product set-up and installation.

This warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the 
product or its parts. 

Limitation of Liability

Lenovo is responsible for loss or damage to your product only while it is: 1) in your 
Service Provider’s possession; or 2) in transit in those cases where the Service 
Provider is responsible for the transportation.

Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your data 
including confidential, proprietary, or personal data contained in a product. You 
should remove and/or backup all such information from the product prior to its 
service or return.

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or other 
liability, you may be entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such 
instance, regardless of the basis of your claim against Lenovo (including breach, 
negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except and to the 
extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, Lenovo shall 
not be liable for more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you, 
up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit does not apply to damages 
for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property or tangible personal 
property for which Lenovo is liable under law. 

This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider. It 
is the maximum amount for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service 
Provider are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS, 
RESELLERS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE 
FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY 
CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES; 2) LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR 
DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL 
DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL
