Compaq Limited Warranty
Statement
DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY: 1 year
Compaq warrants to you, the end-user customer, that
Compaq hardware, accessories, and supplies are free
from defects in materials and workmanship. This
warranty begins on the date of purchase and continues
for the period specified above.
Compaq warrants to you, the end-user customer, that
the software will not fail to execute its programming
instructions due to defects in material and workmanship
when properly installed and used. Compaq does not
warrant that software will operate in hardware and
software combinations selected by you, or meet
requirements specified by you.
Where a network interface card (NIC) has been factory
preinstalled by Compaq in the Compaq Presario,
Compaq warrants that the correct drivers are installed
and that the Compaq Presario will recognise the NIC.
However, Compaq’s warranty does NOT cover
connectivity issues, which are NOT supported.
Compaq products may contain remanufactured parts
equivalent to new in performance or may have been
subject to incidental use.
If Compaq receives notice of such defects during the
warranty period, Compaq will, at its option, either repair
or replace the affected products that prove to be
defective. In case of defective software, Compaq will
replace software media that does not execute its
programming instructions due to such defect.
Replacement parts or units will be either new or
equivalent to new in performance.
If Compaq is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair
or replace any product to a condition as warranted, you
will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price on a
pro-rated basis upon prompt return of the product.
Refunds within the first 3 months of ownership will
be refunded at 100% of purchase price. Refunds within
3–6 months of ownership will be refunded at 85% of
purchase price. Refunds within 6–9 months of ownership
will be refunded at 55% of purchase price. Refunds
within 9–12 months will be refunded at 35% of purchase
price.
Compaq’s limited warranty is valid in any
country/region or locality where Compaq has a support
presence for this product and where Compaq has
marketed this product. The level of warranty service you
receive may vary according to local standards. Compaq
will not alter form, fit, or function of the product to make
it operate in a country/region for which it was never
intended to function for legal or regulatory reasons.
Compaq does not warrant that the operation of the
products will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Compaq’s warranty does not apply to defects resulting
from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or
calibration, (b) software, interfacing, parts, or supplies
not supplied by Compaq, (c) unauthorised modification
or misuse, (d) operation outside of the published
environmental specifications for the product,
(e) improper site preparation, (f) unauthorised
maintenance or repair, or (g) abuse, negligence, accident,
loss or damage in transit.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW,
THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR SOLE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, AND NO OTHER
WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW,
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET
FORTH ABOVE. Some countries/regions, states, or
provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion
might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights and you might also have other rights that
vary from country/region to country/region, state to
state, or province to province.
