PLEASE READ THE LENOVO SALES AGREEMENT BELOW CAREFULLY. THIS “AGREEMENT” IS WHAT LENOVO CALLS OUR “SALES TERMS & CONDITIONS” ON LENOVO.COM. BY PLACING AN ORDER ON LENOVO.COM OR ACCEPTING PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU (“YOU” OR “CUSTOMER”) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT; UNDERSTAND IT; AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO A REQUIREMENT THAT DISPUTES MUST BE RESOLVED IN BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, NOT IN COURT.  THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION AND PRETRIAL DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE RIGHTS ARE MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT.  YOU HAVE A LIMITED-TIME RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS REQUIREMENT.  SEE THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT PAGE  FOR FULL DETAILS AND OPT-OUT INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON OR A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT PERSON, COMPANY, OR LEGAL ENTITY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Unless there is a different written sales agreement in place between Lenovo and Customer, this Agreement, including associated warranty statements, license agreements, and any applicable attachments, is the sole and complete agreement between Customer and Lenovo regarding the Products or Services purchased by Customer. Any additional or different terms in any order or communication from Customer shall not be binding on Lenovo unless signed by an authorized representative of Lenovo.

Products and Services purchased on Lenovo’s website, Lenovo.com, are for Customer’s own use and not for resale. Lenovo reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders if Lenovo suspects Customer is purchasing Products and Services for the purpose of reselling them.

Customer accepts the terms of this Agreement when ordering online on Lenovo.com or, when ordering by any other means, by opening the package containing the product or accepting a Service from Lenovo. Placing on order on Lenovo.com or inputting information on Lenovo.com does not mean Lenovo has accepted an order through its website. Lenovo only accepts Customer’s order by shipping the hardware Product or making the software Product available to Customer; or providing the Service. Confirmation of receipt of Customer’s order placed on Lenovo.com shall not mean Lenovo has accepted Customer’s order.

1. Definitions

1.1 Product shall mean any Lenovo branded or third party hardware or software that Lenovo provides to Customer under this Agreement. Hardware products include computers and accessories. Software products include computer software programs (whether pre-loaded, provided separately, or provided as a subscription service) and related licensed materials such as documentation.

1.2 Service is the performance of a task; provision of advice or assistance; or access to a resource such as access to an information data base that Lenovo makes available to Customer.

2. Prices, Payment, and Errors

2.1 Except for credit or debit card transactions, or if not paid in advance of shipment, payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Any amounts not received by Lenovo within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice shall be overdue. Customer shall pay a late payment fee of the lesser of one and one half (1.5%) percent per month or the maximum rate permitted by law on the undisputed overdue balance of the invoice amount. Customer shall pay any applicable sales, use or similar taxes, fees or duties unless Customer provides exemption documentation to Lenovo. Customer is responsible for taxes, if any, on Products from the date Lenovo ships them to Customer or on Services, on the date the Services are provided by Lenovo. No other discounts, quantity entitlements, or promotions apply unless agreed in writing by Lenovo. Delivery charges, if applicable, will be as specified in an invoice.

2.2 If Lenovo makes an error in pricing information and/or a typographic error on Lenovo.com or otherwise in any advertisements or in any communications with Customer, Lenovo may nevertheless refuse or cancel an order placed for a Product or Service quoted at such price or described in error, even if Lenovo has confirmed the receipt of Customer’s order or charged Customer’s credit or debit card. If Lenovo has charged Customer’s credit or debit card, Lenovo will issue a credit to Customer’s credit or debit card account in the amount of the charge.

3. Electronically Delivered Software Products.

In the case of electronically delivered software Products, Customer will receive an email with an activation key and download link. Customer shall be responsible for downloading the software Product and bear risk of loss relating thereto, including the failure of a computer, hard drive, or internet connection. In the case of software provided as a subscription service, Lenovo shall provide instructions on how to access such services.  Internet or other connection charges in connection with the download, access, and use of the software Product shall be Customer’s sole responsibility.

4. Returns

Customer may return an eligible Product in its original package to Lenovo for a full refund, less any applicable return shipping and handling fees and any applicable restocking fees as stated below. Customer may only return the entire Product or all such Products for a refund. For purchases from Lenovo.com, all requests for returns must be submitted within 30 calendar days from the date of invoice. For purchases from Lenovo Outlet, all requests for returns must be submitted within 14 calendar days from the date of invoice.

Digital gaming products; partial refunds or credits for Products, including installation of software Product options; or quantities of Products that are not separately priced, are not available for return. To request a return, Customer must contact Lenovo to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number. Any authorized return must include the Product and all accessories in their original packaging. It must be received at the Lenovo National Return Center within 10 calendar days of issuance of the RMA. Returns on any other basis may be refused by Lenovo. Customer assumes risk of loss and damage for Products returned without an RMA. Upon receipt of your returned Product, Lenovo will issue a credit or refund of the purchase price paid, less any applicable return shipping and handling fees and any applicable restocking fees.

Software Products acquired separately from a hardware Product may not be returned unless media-based software is unopened and still in its sealed package or, if delivered electronically or via a subscription service, software that you have not accepted the terms of the software license.  Customer may return the software Product in such an event within 30 calendar days of the date of invoice and receive a refund or credit in the amount of the price paid.
