If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact a Service Provider. If
you do not register the Machine with Lenovo, you may be required to present proof of purchase as
evidence of your entitlement to warranty service.
What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem determination and
resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis of your problem can be made either by a
technician over the telephone or electronically by access to a support website.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 - Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software updates from a support web site
or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that your Service Provider provides.
Software updates may include basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device
drivers, and other software updates.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) (e.g., keyboard, mouse,
speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your problem cannot be
resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your application of software updates, or with a
CRU, your Service Provider, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or
2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If your Service Provider is unable to do
either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also install selected engineering changes that
apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item your Service Provider
replaces becomes Lenovo’s 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.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Before your Service Provider 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 your Service Provider service a Machine that you do not
own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine; and
c. provide your Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit
Lenovo to fulfill its obligations.
4.
(a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted from
the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow your Service Provider or a supplier to
process on your behalf any remaining Personal Data as your Service Provider considers necessary to
fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include shipping the
Machine for such processing to other service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such
processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.
