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
functionality 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.

uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

questions and those regarding Machine set-up and
installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND.
