(Product) International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) gives you the following limited
warranty
for
this Product only
if
it

or
2)
otherwise
not in good working order,
IBM
or
such Dealer will remedy the problem by providing the Type
of
Warranty Service indicated above at no additional charge. Warranty service does not include repair
or
exchange when the problem results from
aCCident,

service of the Product by other
than I
BM
or
an
I BM Authorized Dealer
for
this Product.

warranty
will apply only
to
a Product purchased and located in the
United States
or
Puerto Rico.
ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
ARE
LIMITED
IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD, AND
NO
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR
IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THIS PERlOD.
Some states
do
not allow limitations
on
how long an implied
warranty
lasts, so the
above limitations may not apply to you.
This
warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
LIMITATION OF REMEDIES: Your sole remedy under this Statement
of
Limited
Warranty shall be IBM's

an
IBM Authorized Dealer's performance
of
warranty
service. For
any
claim concerning performance
or
nonperformance
by
IBM
or
an
IBM Authorized Dealer under this Statement
of
Limited Warranty, or for
any
other claim directly related to this Product, you shall be entitled to recover actual damages up to the limits set forth in the following paragraph.
IBM's liability for damages
to
you for
any
cause whatsoever, arising out
of
this
Statement
of
Limited Warranty,

any
other claim directly related
to
this
Product, shall be limited to the greater
of
$5000

In
no event will IBM be liable
to
you for any damages
caused by
your

an
IBM approved reseller for this Product has
been advised
of
the possibility of such damages,
or
for
any

any third party claim.
Some states do not allow the exclusion
or
limitation of incidental
or
consequential
damages, so the above limitation
or
exclusion may not apply to you.
