What’s International Warranty Service (IWS)?
- International Warranty Service (IWS) enables customers who travel with, or relocate any IWS-eligible Lenovo machine type to receive warranty service in any country where their machine type is announced and sold and supported by Lenovo or a Lenovo authorized reseller under Lenovo Limited Warranty and/or the destination country Warranty Services Agreement.
- The length of International Warranty Service is based upon the original warranty period assigned in the country of origin where the machine type was first sold by Lenovo or a Lenovo authorized reseller.
- The phone support languages are listed on the IWS contact list and the method of service will be determined by the destination country. For customers who have on-site base warranty, on-site service will be delivered where it is available.
- Some service and/or parts may not be available in all countries. Lenovo or a Lenovo authorized reseller may repair or replace the products or the parts with comparable Lenovo products or parts that comply with local standards. For example, if the product was purchased with a Japanese keyboard, and service request is submitted in US, Lenovo may replace with a US keyboard upon your agreement.
- Some countries may have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service such as packaging, shipping and handling fees. You will be advised of your responsibility to pay these fees at the time of service.
- For Think products and Lenovo branded Notebooks, if a customer has purchased warranty extension in the original country of hardware purchase to extend the Lenovo base warranty offered with a machine type, IWS will provide coverage until the end of purchased warranty extension.
