Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you originally 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. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you
acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
International Business Machines Corporation Armonk, New York, 10504
Machine: IBM ARTIC X.25 Interface Co-Processor PCI Adapter
Warranty Period*: This Feature assumes the Warranty period of the IBM
host in which it is installed. For all other conditions, the Warranty period is
three years.
*Elements and accessories are warranted for three months. Contact your place
of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some
cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed.
Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
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. The warranty period for a
Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date
on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you
otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will provide
warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine and will
manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion, or
upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that the Machine on which it is installed be
1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an
engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many
of these transactions involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. You
represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered. A part that replaces a
removed part will assume the warranty service status of the replaced part.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your
reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent,
without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the Machine, you may return it to
your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
iii

If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user for
the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of purchase and this
Statement to that user. However, for Machines that have a life-time warranty, this
warranty is not transferable.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or call
IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378). In Canada, call
IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service, either at
your location or at IBM's or your reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to good
working order.
When a type of 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. 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 ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange.
You agree to:
1. Obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
2. Where applicable, before service is provided —
a. Follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,
b. Secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and
c. 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.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
The warranties may be voided by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical
or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, removal or alteration of
Machine or parts identification labels, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is
not responsible.
THESE WARRANTIES 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.

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), IBM is liable
only for:
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 or loss, up to the greater of U.S.
$100,000 or the charges (if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine
that is the subject of the claim.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR LOSSES
OR 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

THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
