OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Replaceable Unit” or “CRU.” If so, the Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.  
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone; through the application of software updates or  
the installation of a CRU, the Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service

If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, the Service Provider will replace  
it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.

remedy under this Limited Warranty is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo for a  
refund of your purchase price.  
Replacement Products and Parts  
When 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.

service specified for your product and the available service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time  
of your call, parts availability, and other factors.  
Types of Warranty Service  
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service  
Under CRU Service, the Service Provider will ship CRUs to you at its cost 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”. “Optional-service  
CRUs” are CRUs that 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 a Service Provider or Lenovo under which Self-service CRUs would be installed for you.  
You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the publication that was shipped with your product  
or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the  
instructions 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 the Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU from you within thirty  
(30) days of your receipt of the replacement CRU.  
2. On-site Service  
Under On-Site Service, a 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 product. Some repairs  
may need to be completed at a service center. If so, the Service Provider will send the product to the  
service center at its expense.

Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center,  
with shipping at the expense of the Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product and  
packing it in a shipping container provided to you to return your product to a designated service center.  
A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center. The service center will  
return the product to you at its expense.

Under Customer Carry-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged after you deliver it to a  
designated service center at your risk and expense. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will  
be made available to you for collection. If you fail to collect the product, the Service Provider may dispose of  
the product as it sees fit, with no liability to you.

responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. The replacement product becomes your  
property in exchange for the failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack the  
failed product in the shipping carton in which you received the replacement product and return it to Lenovo.  
Transportation charges, both ways, shall be at Lenovo’s expense. If you fail to use the carton in which the  
replacement product was received, you may be responsible for any damage to the failed product occurring  
during shipment. You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the failed
