Service Guide
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.
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.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be
1)
a "Repair" service at your
location (called "On-site") or at one of IBM's or a reseller's service locations (called
"Carry-in") or 2) an "Exchange" service, either On-site or Carry-in.
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.
The replacement may not be new, but will
be
in
good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. (
It is your responsibility to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor)
to
have IBM or
your reseller service a Machine that you do not own;
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,
c.
inform
IBM
or your reseller of changes
in
a Machine's location, and
d. for a Machine with exchange service, remove
all
features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. Also, the Machine
must be free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its
exchange; and
3.
be responsible for loss
of,
or damage
to,
a Machine
in
transit when you are
responsible for the transportation charges.
Extent
of
Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,
improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not
responsible may void the warranties.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
HOWEVER, SOME LAWS
DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED
IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
In
Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations
on
how long
an
implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
