Appendix B. Lenovo Limited Warranty
L505-0010-01 04/2008
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo branded hardware products you purchased for
your own use and not for resale. This Lenovo Limited Warranty is available in other languages at
www.lenovo.com/warranty.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product that you purchase is free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts
on the original date of purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Lenovo informs you
otherwise in writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are
designated below under the section titled Warranty Information.
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES 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. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON
HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty
service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a Service
Provider. A list of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/
support/phone.
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges
may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for
location-specific information.
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution
procedures specified.
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone, e-mail, or
through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated
software updates.
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install yourself called a Customer
Replaceable Unit or CRU. If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software
updates or the installation of a CRU by you, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the
type of warranty service designated for the product under the section titled Warranty Information.
© Copyright Lenovo 2009 11
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole
remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase
price.
Replacement of a Product or Part
When the 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.
Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;
2. ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its
replacement; and
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product or part if you do
not own it.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access
to your facilities to perform service; and
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted
from the product or that, with respect to any Personal Data that you did not delete, you are in
compliance with all applicable laws.
Use of Personal Information
If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process information about your
warranty service and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail
address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our
business relationship with you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our
warranty service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these
purposes, we may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to
entities acting on our behalf. We may also disclose it where required by law.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
v loss of, or damage to, your data;
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
v failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by you;
v damage caused by a non-authorized service provider;
v failure of, or damage caused by, any third party products, including those that Lenovo may provide or
integrate into the Lenovo product at your request; and
12 Lenovo ConstantConnect ExpressCard User Guide
v any technical or other support, such as assistance with how-to questions and those regarding product
set-up and installation.
This warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the product or its parts.
Limitation of Liability
Lenovo is responsible for loss or damage to your product only while it is: 1) in your Service Provider’s
possession; or 2) in transit in those cases where the Service Provider is responsible for the transportation.
Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your data including confidential,
proprietary, or personal data contained in a product. You should remove and/or backup all such
information from the product prior to its service or return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or other liability, you may be
entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance, regardless of the basis of your claim
against Lenovo (including breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except
and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, Lenovo shall not be liable
for more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you, up to the amount you paid for the
product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real
property or tangible personal property for which Lenovo is liable under law.
This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider. It is the maximum
amount for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider are collectively responsible.

PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES; 2) LOSS OR DAMAGE
TO YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,

Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for installation by you. CRU
information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo
at any time upon request. CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service CRUs, while
Optional-service CRUs may require some technical skill and tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is
your responsibility. You may request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of
the other types of warranty service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be
available for purchase from Lenovo to have Lenovo install Self-service CRUs for you. You may find a list
of CRUs and their designation in the publication that ships with your product or at www.lenovocom/
CRUs. The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with
a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and
a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement
CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt
of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location.
You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product.
For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.

Appendix E. Important information for the European Directive
2002/96/EC
EU Only
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only to countries within the
European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive
2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union.
This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather
reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive. Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the
WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted
municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of
WEEE and minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the
presence of hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information go to: http://www.lenovo.com/
lenovo/environment.
Le marquage des déchets d’équipements électriques et électroniques (DEEE) s’applique uniquement aux
pays de l’Union européenne (EU) et à la Norvège. Les appareils sont marqués conformément à la
Directive 2002/96/CE du Conseil Européen relative aux déchets d’équipements électriques et
électroniques (DEEE). Cette directive, applicable à l’ensemble des pays de l’Union européenne, concerne
la collecte et le recyclage des appareils usagés. Ce marquage est apposé sur différents produits pour
indiquer que ces derniers ne doivent pas être jetés, mais récupérés en fin de vie, conformément à cette
directive. Les utilisateurs d’équipements électriques et électroniques portant le marquage DEEE,
conformément à l’Annexe IV de la Directive DEEE, ne doivent pas mettre au rebut ces équipements
comme des déchets municipaux non triés, mais ils doivent utiliser la structure de collecte mise à
disposition des clients pour le retour, le recyclage et la récupération des déchets d’équipements
électriques et électroniques, afin de réduire tout effet potentiel des équipements électriques et
électroniques sur l’environnement et la santé en raison de la présence possible de substances dangereuses
dans ces équipements. Pour plus d’informations sur les équipements électriques et électroniques,
