LenovoEMC® Network Storage Service Plans Terms and Conditions

The LenovoEMC Service Plan (the "Plan") is governed by the following terms and conditions. By accepting the services and support described herein, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. If you do not accept these terms and conditions you may return your product (“Product”) and/or your purchase of the Plan to the place of purchase within twenty-one (21) days of purchase for a full refund. Please read this document carefully.

Eligibility

You are eligible to receive services from LenovoEMC under the Plan if you purchased the Plan as described in this paragraph, and registered your Plan with LenovoEMC as described below. For Products with a purchase date before November 1, 2012, the Plan must be purchased while the Product is within its basic limited warranty period. Details of the limited warranty applicable to your Product can be found in the Quick Start Guide that came with your Product. For Products purchased on or after November 1, 2012, the Plan must be purchased during the first 12 months following the Product’s purchase date.

Term

The period of service under the Plan begins on the date you purchased the Plan, and ends three or five years (depending on which Plan you purchased) from the date you purchased your Product. During this period, LenovoEMC will repair or replace, at its option, your Product if it requires repair or replacement due to defects in materials or workmanship. LenovoEMC may use new or used parts or products, at its option, to do so.

If you purchased on-site repair or replacement services, LenovoEMC will make a commercially reasonable attempt to provide such services within either one business day, or within 4 hours (depending on which service you purchased) of the date your request for such services is received and registered by LenovoEMC and on-site repair or replacement is determined to be needed. However, there is no guarantee that any services will be completed within any given time frame. The actual service and repair/replacement dates will depend upon a number of factors, including part or component availability, availability of qualified service personnel, the ability of such service personnel to travel to and from the location of your Product, economic or political conditions which restrict travel, and other factors.

Warranty Duration

Your Product comes with a basic limited warranty which provides coverage for a period of one, two, or three years from the date of purchase, depending upon the model and country of purchase. Details of the limited warranty applicable to your Product can in the Quick Start Guide that came with your Product. Your Plan may extend additional protection beyond the basic warranty period. Thus, if a five year Plan is purchased on April 1, 2013 for an LenovoEMC Product was purchased on November 7, 2012, the Plan would extend the Product’s warranty to November 7, 2017. Please consult www.iomega.com/serviceplans to determine the length of your Plan.

This Plan is non-transferable and applies only to you, the first end-user purchaser.

For details on which countries and cities are covered by the Plan(s), go to www.iomega.com/serviceplans; this territorial coverage can change from time to time and if a customer’s location ceases to be in a region with an available local provider who can be on site within the promised time, LenovoEMC will make commercially reasonable efforts to deliver services hereunder as fast as reasonably possible.

  6. Some LenovoEMC Plans feature NBD (Next Business Day) and/or 4-hour service. NBD service is provided during business hours of the local region, excluding holidays.
