IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part1-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
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
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.
Appendix A. Warranty information A-3

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.
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 warranty 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 your reseller will inform you of the available types
of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion,
IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and
2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your
reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to
the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs
to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM
within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for
downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following
the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property 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. Many features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM.
A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of
the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove
all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty
service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
A-4 IBM 11a Wireless LAN CardBus Adapter: Quick Start Guide

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information
from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default
on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM.
In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to
claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that
cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine”includes Machine
Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the
maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively
responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2)
LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS,
EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF
THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
