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

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

WIHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

Warranty Service

To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller of

IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-722-2227. 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 Specifica-

tions. 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 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.

You also agree to:

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restric-

tions 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 ser-

vice 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 obliga-

tions, and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s loca-

tion.

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 confi-

dential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine

which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should

return 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, negli-

gence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is lia-

ble for no more than

damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real prop-

erty and tangible personal property; and

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 sub-

ject 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 collec-

tively 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,

ACCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING

LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPP-

LIRES 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 LIMITA-

TIONS OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
