The terms of Part 2 replace or modify terms of Part 1 as specified for a particular country.
Part 1 - General Terms
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo 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 Lenovo 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 as shown on your sales receipt or invoice or as may be otherwise specified
by Lenovo. The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are as specified
in “Part 3 - Warranty Service Information” below. This warranty only applies to products in the country
or region of purchase.
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
AS SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT AND FOR SUCH DURATION AS REQUIRED BY LAW AND
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. AS SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE DURATION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION
ON DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

• backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;
• provide the Service Provider with all system keys or passwords;
• provide the Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to perform service;
• remove all data, including confidential information, proprietary information and personal information, from

access by another party or so that it is not personal data under applicable law. The Service Provider shall

information, or personal information, on a product returned or accessed for warranty service;
• remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not covered by the warranty;

procedures.
The Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem by telephone, e-mail or remote
assistance. The Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software updates.
Some problems may be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself called a “Customer
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
designated for the product under “Part 3 - Warranty Service Information” below.
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.
If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole
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.

your warranty service and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail
address. Lenovo may use this information to perform service under this warranty. We may contact you to
inquire about your satisfaction with our warranty service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety
issues. In accomplishing these purposes, you authorize Lenovo to transfer your information to any country
where we do business and to provide it to entities acting on our behalf. We may also disclose it where

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.

the product as it sees fit, with no liability to you.
