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.
Your Additional Responsibilities
You agree:
1. before IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller exchanges a Machine or part,
to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not
under warranty service and ensure that the Machine is free of any legal
obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. to obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or its subcontractor or
the reseller service a Machine that you do not own;
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or its subcontractor or its
reseller provides;
b. backup and secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the
Machine; and
c. inform IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller of changes in the
Machine's location;
4. to provide IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller with sufficient and safe
access to your facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations;
5. to allow IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller to install mandatory
engineering changes, such as those required for safety;
6. when the type of warranty service requires that you deliver a failing
Machine to IBM, you agree to ship it suitably packaged, as IBM specifies, to
a location IBM designates. After the Machine has been repaired or
exchanged, IBM will return the repaired Machine or provide a replacement
Machine to you at its expense, unless IBM specifies otherwise. IBM is
responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in
IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges; and
7. to securely erase from any Machine you return to IBM for any reason all
programs not provided by IBM with the Machine, and data, including
without limitation the following: 1) information about identified or
identifiable individuals or legal entities ("Personal Data") and 2) your
confidential or proprietary information and other data. If removing or
deleting Personal Data is not possible, you agree to transform such
information (e.g., by making it anonymous or encrypting it) so that it no
longer qualifies as Personal Data under applicable law. You also agree to
remove all funds from Machines returned to IBM. IBM is not responsible
for any funds, programs not provided by IBM with the Machine, or data
contained in a Machine that you return to IBM. You acknowledge that, to
perform its responsibilities under this Statement of Limited Warranty, IBM
may ship all or part of the Machine or its software to other IBM or third
party locations around the world, and you authorize IBM to do so.
