Warranty
Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you originally 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. Unless IBM specifies
otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the
Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases,
the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of
the Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
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 receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you
otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will provide
warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage
and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
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 a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your
reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, without
charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order. If IBM or
your reseller is unable to repair or replace the Machine, you may return it to your place
of purchase and your money will be refunded.
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 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 IBM’s or your reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to good
working order.
