Appendix B. 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
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 preloaded 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 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. 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.
