IBM PC International Warranty Service (IWS) - Cross Brand
Applicable countries and regions
IBM's International Warranty Service (IWS) provides our customers with warranty service even if they relocate their PC to another country. This warranty service is available wherever IBM or IBM resellers sell and service your particular machine type. IBM has enhanced the IWS offering to allow customers who travel with or relocate any IWS-eligible machines to receive warranty service without the requirement of registering their machines for IWS. To determine which countries provide this service, call the United States IWS Office at 1-800-497-7426. Or call (810) 740-1215 outside of the US.
NOTE: IWS applies to hardware only and not to software.
The length of warranty is determined by the country where your PC was purchased and the service delivery methods of the servicing country will be in effect and may be different from those in the originating country. Some countries may have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service. Certain countries may require additional documentation, such as proof of purchase or proof of proper importation, prior to performing repair service.
Please be aware of the following international considerations:
1. Due to magnetic fields in different parts of the world, monitors are manufactured to work in the northern or southern hemispheres or equatorial region and may not produce a satisfactory image if used in other regions.
2. While IBM software may be used in other countries, it is not covered under warranty. IBM programs are governed by the terms and conditions of the Program License Agreement. Other vendor software may also be subject to restrictions. Please study the terms and conditions before relocating.
3. Electrical power and electrical plugs vary in different parts of the world. Ensure machines you wish to relocate are compatible in the relocation country.
4. Equipment is often subject to local laws (particularly modems). Ensure your equipment is acceptable in the new country.
5. Computer equipment must be carefully packed to avoid transit damage which is not covered under IWS.
6. Each machine type may have models with unique features and components for a particular country. That machine type may be sold and serviced in the new country, however, if a particular model of that machine type is not sold and serviced in that country, service and parts may not be readily available in that country.
7. Customers are responsible for obtaining all necessary clearances required for export/import and shall bear any associated costs, tariffs and duties.
NOTE: For Aptiva-specific IWS information, refer to the Aptiva - IBM PC International Warranty Service (IWS) document.

International Warranty Service Terms And Conditions (English)
Applicable countries and regions
International Warranty Service (IWS) enables customers who travel with or relocate any IWS-eligible IBM product to receive warranty service in any country where their product is sold and serviced. IWS-eligible machine types can be serviced by IBM or IBM resellers authorized to perform warranty service under the warranty terms wherever the specific IBM product is sold and serviced. The length of warranty service is based upon the originating country of purchase, however, the method of service provided [for example, depot, customer carry-in repair (CCR) , IBM on-site repair (IOR, etc.] in the servicing country may be different from the method provided in the country in which the machine was purchased. Service procedures may vary by country, and some service and/or parts may not be available in all countries. Some countries may have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service. Certain countries may require additional documentation, such as proof of purchase or proof of proper importation, prior to performing IWS service. IWS eligibility is based on the four-digit machine type; however, certain countries may not have the capability of servicing all models of a particular machine type.
Customers can determine a machine's IWS eligibility by reviewing the product announcement letter Web site.

Note: It may be helpful to print this output and keep it with the machine. The service provider may request this information.
Verify that the country where service is needed is included in the country list. If it is, please note the service initiation contact phone number.
To initiate service for the machine, please use the contact number provided for the country in question.
Note: Service procedures may vary by country, and some service and/or parts may not be available in all countries. Some countries may have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service. IWS eligibility is based on the four-digit machine type; however, certain countries may not have the capability of servicing all models of a particular machine type.
In cases where the country may not have the ability to service a particular model, service may be provided on a "best effort" basis and some fees or restrictions may apply. An alternative would be to attempt to obtain service under IWS in a neighboring country listed for the machine in question.
Note: Refurbished machines are not eligible for International Warranty Service. Refurbished machines can be identified by their model number (for example, refurbished machines have RRx, XXx, xRR, or xXX as the model number). In general, most refurbished machine warranties are shorter than the original machine warranty and are only valid within the country of purchase.
PRECAUTIONS:
Due to the earth's magnetic field, cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors are manufactured to work in northern, southern and equatorial regions of the earth and may not produce a satisfactory image when moved between them. Any required adjustment (if possible) is not covered under IWS and may be subject to a chargeable action. The magnetic field does not affect Flat Panel LCD Monitors and ThinkPad LCD displays.
Electrical power and plugs vary throughout the world. Please ensure machines you wish to relocate are compatible in the new country. Equipment is often subject to local laws (particularly modems). Please ensure that the equipment is acceptable under the laws in the country of relocation.
IWS does not cover any damage caused by moving equipment from one location to another. When relocating equipment, please ensure that all equipment is carefully packaged to ensure that no damage occurs.
