Product warranties
The warranty statements consist of two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 1 varies by country. Part 2 is the same for both statements.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty for United
States, Puerto Rico, and Canada (Part 1 - General
Terms)
This Statement of Limited 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 Limited 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.
Machine - USB Sleek Mouse
Warranty Period* - One Year
*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some
IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the
country where service is performed.
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.
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. THESE
WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY
FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT
PERIOD.
Items not covered by warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines
WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such
as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding
Machine set-up and installation, will be provided
WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or 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 provides certain types of repair and exchange service,
either at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore
them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will
inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its
country of installation. IBM may repair the failing Machine or exchange it
at its discretion.
When warranty 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.
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be
installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated,
serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible
with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. 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.
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.
