IBM Statement of Limited Warranty for United States, Puerto

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
“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 Portable CD-ROM Drive
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
2-2 USB Portable CD-ROM Drive
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
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 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.
Part 2: Appendixes 2-3
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.
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,
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.
2-4 USB Portable CD-ROM Drive
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.
IBM Statement of Warranty Worldwide except Canada, Puerto
Rico, Turkey, United States (Part 1 - General Terms)
This Statement of 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 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
“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.

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
Part 2: Appendixes 2-5
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 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.
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
2-6 USB Portable CD-ROM Drive
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 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.
