IBM Statement of Warranty Worldwide except Canada,
Puerto Rico, Turkey, United States (Part 1 - General Terms)
This Statement of 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 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.

* 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.
