Remote problem
diagnosis and support
Once the Customer has placed and HP has acknowledged the receipt
of a call as described in ‘General provisions’, HP will work during the
coverage window to isolate the hardware incident and to remotely
troubleshoot, remedy, and resolve the incident with the Customer.
Prior to any onsite assistance, HP may initiate and perform remote
diagnostics using electronic remote support solutions to access
covered products, or HP may use other means available to facilitate
remote incident resolution.
HP will provide telephone assistance for the installation of customer-
installable rmware and Customer Self Repair parts during the
service coverage window.
Regardless of the Customer’s coverage window, incidents with
covered hardware can be reported to HP via telephone or Web
portal, as locally available, or as an automated equipment reporting
event via the HP electronic remote support solutions 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. HP will acknowledge the receipt by logging the call,
assigning a case ID, and communicating that case ID to the Customer.
Save for any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy the
Customer may have at law which cannot be excluded, limited or
modied (including a consumer guarantee under the Australian
Consumer Law), HP will determine the resolution of all reported
incidents.

remotely, an HP authorized representative will provide onsite
technical support on covered hardware products to return them to
operating condition. Save for any condition, warranty, guarantee,
right or remedy the Customer may have at law which cannot be
excluded, limited or modied (including a consumer guarantee under
the Australian Consumer Law), for certain products, HP may elect
to replace such products in lieu of repairing them. Replacement
products are new or functionally equivalent to new in performance.
Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of
the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be
used to repair the goods. Replaced products become the property of
H P.
Once an HP authorized representative arrives at the Customer’s site,
the representative will continue to deliver the service, either onsite
or remotely, at the discretion of HP, until the products are repaired.
Work may be temporarily suspended if parts or additional resources
are required, but work will resume when they become available.
Save for any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy the
Customer may have at law which cannot be excluded, limited or
modied (including a consumer guarantee under the Australian
Consumer Law), repair is considered complete upon HP verication
that the hardware malfunction has been corrected or that the
hardware has been replaced.
‘Fix-on-Failure’: In addition at time of onsite technical support
delivery, HP may:
• Install available engineering improvements to help the
Customer ensure proper operation of the hardware products
and maintain compatibility with HP-supplied hardware
replacement parts.
• Install available rmware updates dened by HP as non-
customer- installable that, in the opinion of HP, are required to
return the covered product to operating condition or to maintain
supportability by HP and for which the Customer has the
required license to use, if applicable.
‘Fix-on-Request’: In addition, at customer request HP will install
during coverage hours critical rmware updates dened by HP as
non-customer- installable and for which the Customer has the
required license to use, if applicable. Critical rmware updates are
rmware updates recommended by the HP product division for
immediate installation.

refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired.
Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. Replaced parts
become the property of HP.
Customers who wish to retain, degauss, or otherwise physically
destroy replaced parts will be billed and required to pay the list price
less any applicable discounts for the replacement part.

Call-to-repair time
commitment for
hardware support
A call-to-repair time commitment may be selected for eligible
products in lieu of an onsite response time. For critical incidents
(severity 1 or 2) with covered hardware that cannot be resolved
remotely, HP will use commercially reasonable eorts to return the
covered hardware to operating condition within the specied call-
to-repair time commitment. For non-critical incidents (severity 3 or

schedule an agreed-upon time for the remedial action to commence,
and the call-to-repair time commitment will then start at that time.
Incident severity levels are dened in ‘General provisions’.
Call-to-repair time refers to the period of time that begins when the
initial call has been received and acknowledged by HP, as specied in
‘General provisions’. Call-to-repair time ends with HP’s determination
that the hardware is repaired or when the reported event is closed
with the explanation that HP has determined it does not currently
require onsite intervention.
Call-to-repair times are measured during the coverage window only
and may be carried over to the next day for which there exists a

that the hardware malfunction has been corrected or that the
hardware has been replaced. Repair of hardware may result in
loss of data. HP is not liable for any lost data and the Customer
is responsible for implementing appropriate backup procedures.
Verication by HP may be accomplished by the completion of a
power-on self-test, standalone diagnostic or visual verication of
proper operation. HP will determine the level of testing necessary
to verify that the hardware is repaired. HP may temporarily or
permanently replace the product in order to meet the repair time
commitment. Replacement products are new or functionally
equivalent to new in performance. Goods presented for repair may
be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than
being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
Replaced products become the property of HP.

Service limitations
Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modies any condition, warranty, guarantee,

Consumer Law) which cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.
Service will be provided using a combination of remote diagnosis and support, services
delivered onsite, and other service delivery methods. Other service delivery methods may

Law).
If the Customer agrees to the recommended Customer Self Repair (CSR) and a CSR part is
provided to return the system to operating condition, the onsite service level shall not apply.

The Customer may have additional rights at law which cannot be excluded, limited or modied
(including a consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law).

• Any automated or manual recovery processes triggered by the hardware malfunction,
such as disk mechanism rebuild, sparing procedures, or data integrity protection measures
• Any other activities not specic to the hardware repair but required to verify that the
hardware malfunction has been corrected, such as rebooting the operating system
Call-to-repair time commitments and onsite response times do not apply to the repair or
replacement of defective or depleted batteries for selected enterprise storage arrays and
enterprise tape products.
A call-to-repair time commitment does not apply when the Customer chooses to have HP
prolong diagnosis rather than execute recommended recovery procedures.
If the Customer requests scheduled service, the call-to-repair time period begins at the agreedupon scheduled time.
The following activities are excluded from this Agreement:
