Service Provider. A list of approved Service Providers and their telephone

facilities to perform service

information and personal information, from the product or, if you are
unable to remove any such information, modify the information to prevent
its access by another party or so that it is not personal data under
applicable law. The Service Provider shall not be responsible for the loss or
disclosure of any data, including confidential information, proprietary
information, or personal information, on a product returned or accessed
for warranty service

The Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem by
telephone, e-mail or remote assistance. The Service Provider may direct you to
download and install designated software updates.
Some problems may be resolved with a replacement part that you install
yourself called a "Customer Replaceable Unit" or "CRU." If so, the Service
Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone; through the application
of software updates or the installation of a CRU, the Service Provider will
arrange for service under the type of warranty service designated for the
product under "
Part 3 - Warranty Service Information " below.
If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, the
Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.
If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace
your product, your sole remedy under this Limited Warranty is to return the
product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase
price.
Replacement Products and Parts
When warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part, the
replaced product or part becomes Lenovo's property and the replacement
product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered Lenovo products and
parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement product or part provided by
Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the original product or part. The replacement
product or part shall be warranted for the balance of the period remaining on
the original product.
Use of Personal Contact Information
If you obtain service under this warranty, you authorize Lenovo to store, use
and process information about your warranty service and your contact
information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address.
