IBM Statement of Limited Warranty

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 replace or modify those of Part 1. The war-
ranties 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 Limited 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.
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 ("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.
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.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operat-
ing 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, INCLUD-
ING, 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 LIMITA-
TION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIM-
ITED 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. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under
warranty, such as assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regard-
ing Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your
reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present
proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide war-
ranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to
keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or
