hard disk drive), IBM will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your
problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your
application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or its
subcontractor or a reseller that has been approved by IBM to provide warranty
service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or
2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM or its
subcontractor or the reseller is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to
your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller will also manage and install selected
engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller replaces becomes IBM's 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.
Your Additional Responsibilities
You agree:
1. before IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller exchanges a Machine or part, to
remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under
warranty service and ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. to obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or its subcontractor or the
reseller service a Machine that you do not own;
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or its subcontractor or its
reseller provides;
b. backup and secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine;
and
c. inform IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller of changes in the Machine's
location;
4. to provide IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller with sufficient and safe access
to your facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations;
5. to allow IBM or its subcontractor or the reseller to install mandatory engineering
changes, such as those required for safety;
6. when the type of warranty service requires that you deliver a failing Machine to
IBM, you agree to ship it suitably packaged, as IBM specifies, to a location IBM
designates. After the Machine has been repaired or exchanged, IBM will return
the repaired Machine or provide a replacement Machine to you at its expense,
unless IBM specifies otherwise. IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to,
your Machine only while it is 1) in IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those
cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges; and
Appendix B. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-09 08/200623
7. to securely erase from any Machine you return to IBM for any reason all
programs not provided by IBM with the Machine, and data, including without
limitation the following: 1) information about identified or identifiable individuals
or legal entities (“Personal Data”) and 2) your confidential or proprietary
information and other data. If removing or deleting Personal Data is not
possible, you agree to transform such information (e.g., by making it anonymous
or encrypting it) so that it no longer qualifies as Personal Data under applicable
law. You also agree to remove all funds from Machines returned to IBM. IBM is
not responsible for any funds, programs not provided by IBM with the Machine,
or data contained in a Machine that you return to IBM. You acknowledge that, to
perform its responsibilities under this Statement of Limited Warranty, IBM may
ship all or part of the Machine or its software to other IBM or third party
locations around the world, and you authorize IBM to do so.
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 (“LIC”).
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers, subcontractors, and resellers. It is the
maximum for which IBM and its suppliers, subcontractors and resellers are
collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM OR ITS SUPPLIERS,
SUBCONTRACTORS, OR RESELLERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

* See “Types of Warranty Service” and “Service Levels” for explanations of warranty-service
types and service levels.
Type of Warranty
Service*Service Level*
Scheduling of a warranty service will depend upon the following: 1) the time your
request for service is received, 2) Machine technology, and 3) availability of parts.
Contact your local IBM representative or the subcontractor or reseller performing
services on behalf of IBM for country and location specific information.
Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service
IBM provides replacement CRUs to you for you to install. CRU information and
replacement instructions are shipped with your Machine and are available from
IBM at any time on your request. CRUs are designated as being either Tier 1 or
a Tier 2 CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM installs a
Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for the installation. You may
install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge,
under the type of warranty service designated for your Machine. IBM specifies
in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether a defective CRU
must be returned to IBM. When return is required, 1) return instructions and a
container are shipped with the replacement CRU, and 2) you may be charged
for the replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15
days of your receipt of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
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
Appendix B. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-09 08/200635
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.
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 of the Machine and verification of its operation.
5. CRU and On-site Service*
This type of Warranty Service is a combination of Type 1 and Type 2 (see
above).
6. CRU and Courier or Depot Service*
This type of Warranty Service is a combination of Type 1 and Type 3 (see
above).
7. CRU and Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service*
This type of Warranty Service is a combination of Type 1 and Type 4 (see
above).
8. Machine Exchange Service
IBM will initiate shipment of a replacement Machine to your location. You are
responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. You must pack the
failing Machine into the shipping container that contained the replacement
Machine and return the failing Machine to IBM. Transportation charges, both
ways, are paid by IBM. You may be charged for the replacement Machine if IBM
does not receive the failing Machine within 15 days of your receipt of the
replacement Machine.
(*) When a 5, 6, or 7 type of warranty service is listed, IBM will determine
which type of warranty service is appropriate for the repair.
Service Levels
Service levels specified below are response-time objectives only and are not
guarantees. The specified service level may not be available in all worldwide
locations. Charges may apply outside IBM's normal service area. Certain Machines
with a Same Day On-site response-time objective may require the installation and
use of remote connectivity tools and equipment for direct problem reporting, remote
problem determination and resolution.
1. Next Business Day (NBD), 9X5
After we receive your call, following problem determination, if IBM determines
on-site service is required, a service technician will be scheduled to arrive at
your location on the next business day. Service will be provided from 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. in your local time zone, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
2. Same Business Day (SBD), 9X5
