This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and
Part 2 - Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 may replace or
modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this
Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you 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. The term
Part 2: Appendixes 2-3
“Machine” does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded
with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country
where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited
by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
Machine - USB Travel Mouse
Warranty Period* - One Year
*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some
IBM Machines are eligible for On-site warranty service depending on the
country where service is performed.
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 sales
receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs
you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to
provide warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for
the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for
the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply
to the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period,
and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2)
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may
return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
Extent of Warranty
2-4 USB Travel Mouse
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine
resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused
by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided
by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE
WARRANTIES AND 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. IN THAT
EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a
Machine.
Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty,
such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those
Part 2: Appendixes 2-5
regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or
IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada,
call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to present proof of
purchase.
IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange
service, either at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines
in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or
your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a
Machine based on its country of installation. IBM may repair the
failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion.
When warranty 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.
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must
be installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the
designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change
level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many
features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their
return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the
warranty service status of the removed part.
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.
2-6 USB Travel Mouse
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller
service a Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and
service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe
access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their
obligations, and
d. 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.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your
confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine
which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should
remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.
Production Status
Each IBM 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 appropriate warranty terms apply.
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,
Part 2: Appendixes 2-7
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), 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 greater of
U.S. $100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if
recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is the
subject of the claim.
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is
the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are
collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY
CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR 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 ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST
PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS
OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE
YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO
HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM

LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT
EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a
Machine.
Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty,
such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those
regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or
IBM. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange
service, either at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines
in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or
your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a
Machine based on its country of installation. IBM may repair the
failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion.
When warranty 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.
Part 2: Appendixes 2-11
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must
be installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the
designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change
level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many
features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their
return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the
warranty service status of the removed part.
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
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller
service a Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and
service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe
access to your facilities to permit them to fulfil their
obligations, and
d. 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.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your
confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine
which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should
remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Production Status
Each IBM 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 appropriate warranty terms apply.
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 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 greater of
U.S. $100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if
recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is the
subject of the claim.
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is
the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are
collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY
CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR 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 ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST
PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS
OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR
Part 2: Appendixes 2-13
POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
