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

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
