to return the replaced CRU, you are responsible for returning it to IBM in
accordance with IBM's instructions. If you do not return the defective CRU,
if IBM so instructs, within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU,
IBM may charge you for the replacement.

IBM or your reseller will either repair or exchange the failing Machine at
your location and verify its operation. You must provide suitable working
area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the IBM Machine. The area
must be clean, well lit and suitable for the purpose. For some Machines,
certain repairs may require sending the Machine to an IBM service
center.
3. Courier or Depot Service
You will disconnect the failing Machine for collection arranged by IBM.
IBM will provide you with a shipping container for you to return your
Machine to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your
Machine and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair
or exchange, IBM will arrange the return delivery of the Machine to your
location. You are responsible for its installation and verification. This type
of service is called ThinkPad EasyServ or EasyServ in some countries.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
You will deliver or mail as IBM specifies (prepaid unless IBM specifies
otherwise) the failing Machine suitably packaged to a location IBM
designates. After IBM has repaired or exchanged the Machine, IBM will
make it available for your collection or, for Mail-in Service, IBM will return
it to you at IBM's expense, unless IBM specifies otherwise. You are
responsible for the subsequent installation and verification of the Machine.
