Lenovo ThinkPad 41N5653 - Manual (Page 36)

Lenovo does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and
installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND .
How to Obtain Warranty Service
Warranty service may be provided by Lenovo, IBM, your reseller if authorized to
perform warranty service, or an authorized warranty service provider. Each of
them is referred to as a “Service Provider.”
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact
a Service Provider. If you do not register the Machine with Lenovo, you may be
required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your entitlement to warranty
service.
What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis of
your problem can be made either by a technician over the telephone or
electronically by access to a support website.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software updates
from a support web site or from other electronic media, and following the
instructions that your Service Provider provides. Software updates may include
basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device drivers,
and other software updates.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) (e.g.,
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service Provider will
ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and
your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your
application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider, will either,
at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent. If your Service Provider is unable to do
either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will
be refunded.
As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also install selected
engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s 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.
