General Terms
This HP Hardware Limited Warranty gives you, the customer,
express limited warranty rights from HP, the manufacturer.
Please refer to HP’s Web site for an extensive description of
your limited warranty entitlements. In addition, you may also
have other legal rights under applicable local law or special
written agreement with HP.
HP MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR
CONDITION WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, AND
HP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LOCAL LAW OF
JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, HP
DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS OCCURRING IN THE
UNITED STATES, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
SET FORTH ABOVE. SOME STATES OR
COUNTRIES/REGIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION
ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR CONSUMER
PRODUCTS. IN SUCH STATES OR COUNTRIES/REGIONS,
SOME EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THE LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN
THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY
BUT ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY STATUTORY
RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT
TO YOU.
This Limited Warranty is applicable in all countries/regions
and may be enforced in any country/region where HP or its
authorized service providers offer warranty service for the
same product model number subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Limited Warranty.
Under the HP Global Limited Warranty program, products
purchased in one country/region may be transferred to
another country/region, where HP or its authorized service
providers offer warranty service for the same product model
number, without voiding the warranty. Warranty terms,
service availability, and service response times may vary
from country/region to country/region. Standard warranty
service response time is subject to change due to local parts
availability. If so, your HP authorized service provider can
provide you with details.
HP is not responsible for any tariffs or duties that may be
incurred in transferring the products. Transfer of the products
3
may be covered by export controls issued by the United
States or other governments.
This Limited Warranty applies only to HP-branded and
Compaq-branded hardware products (collectively referred to
in this Limited Warranty as ”HP Hardware Products”) sold by
or leased from Hewlett-Packard Company, its worldwide
subsidiaries, affiliates, authorized resellers, or
country/region distributors (collectively referred to in this
Limited Warranty as ”HP”) with this Limited Warranty. The
term ”HP Hardware Product” is limited to the hardware
components and required firmware. The term ”HP Hardware
Product” DOES NOT include any software applications or
programs, non-HP products, or non–HP-branded peripherals.
All non-HP products or non–HP-branded peripherals external
to the HP Hardware Product — such as external storage
subsystems, displays, printers, and other peripherals — are
provided ”AS IS” without HP warranty. However, non-HP
manufacturers and suppliers or publishers may provide their
own warranties directly to you.
HP warrants that the HP Hardware Products that you have
purchased or leased from HP are free from defects in
materials or workmanship under normal use during the
Limited Warranty Period. The Limited Warranty Period starts
on the date of purchase or lease from HP, or from the date
HP completes installation. Your dated sales or delivery
receipt, showing the date of purchase or lease of the
product, is your proof of the purchase or lease date. You
may be required to provide proof of purchase or lease as a
condition of receiving warranty service. You are entitled to
hardware warranty service according to the terms and
conditions of this document if a repair to your HP Hardware
Product is required within the Limited Warranty Period.
Unless otherwise stated, and to the extent permitted by local
law, new HP Hardware Products may be manufactured
using new materials or new and used materials equivalent to
new in performance and reliability. HP may repair or
replace HP Hardware Products (a) with new or previously
used products or parts equivalent to new in performance
and reliability, or (b) with equivalent products to an original
product that has been discontinued. Replacement parts are
warranted to be free from defects in material or
workmanship for ninety (90) days or, for the remainder of
the Limited Warranty Period of the HP Hardware Product
they are replacing or in which they are installed, whichever
is longer.
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will, at its discretion,
repair or replace any defective component. All component
parts or hardware products removed under this Limited
Warranty become the property of HP. In the unlikely event
that your HP Hardware Product has recurring failures, HP, at
its sole discretion, may elect (a) to provide you with a
replacement unit of HP’s choosing that is the same or
equivalent to your HP Hardware Product in performance or
(b) to give you a refund of your purchase price or lease
payments (less interest) instead of a replacement. This is
your exclusive remedy for defective products.
Exclusions
HP does not warrant that the operation of this product will
be uninterrupted or error-free. HP is not responsible for
damage that occurs as a result of your failure to follow the
instructions intended for the HP Hardware Product.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable or
consumable parts and does not extend to any product from
which the serial number has been removed or that has been
damaged or rendered defective (a) as a result of accident,
misuse, abuse, contamination, improper or inadequate
maintenance or calibration, or other external causes;
(b) by operation outside the usage parameters stated in
the user documentation that shipped with the product;
(c) by software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied
by HP; (d) by improper site preparation or maintenance;
(e) by virus infection; (f) from loss or damage in transit;
or (g) by modification or service by anyone other than
(i) HP, (ii) an HP authorized service provider, or (iii) your
own installation of end-user-replaceable HP or HP-approved
parts if available for your product in the servicing
country/region.
YOU SHOULD MAKE PERIODIC BACKUP COPIES OF
THE DATA STORED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE OR
OTHER STORAGE DEVICES AS A PRECAUTION
AGAINST POSSIBLE FAILURES, ALTERATION, OR
LOSS OF THE DATA. BEFORE RETURNING ANY UNIT
FOR SERVICE, BE SURE TO BACK UP DATA AND
REMOVE ANY CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, OR
PERSONAL INFORMATION. HP IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF
PROGRAMS, DATA, OR REMOVABLE STORAGE
MEDIA. HP IS NOT
RESTORATION OR REINSTALLATION OF ANY
PROGRAMS OR DATA OTHER THAN SOFTWARE
INSTALLED BY HP WHEN THE PRODUCT IS
MANUFACTURED.
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ANY
Exclusive Remedy
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW,
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONSTITUTE THE
COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN YOU AND HP REGARDING THE HP HARDWARE
PRODUCT YOU HAVE PURCHASED OR LEASED. THESE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR
AGREEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS — INCLUDING
REPRESENTATIONS MADE IN HP SALES LITERATURE OR
ADVICE GIVEN TO YOU BY HP OR AN AGENT OR
EMPLOYEE OF HP — THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE IN
CONNECTION WITH YOUR PURCHASE OR LEASE OF
THE HP HARDWARE PRODUCT. No change to the
4
conditions of this Limited Warranty is valid unless it is made
in writing and signed by an authorized representative of HP.
YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL STATUTORY RIGHTS
AGAINST THE SELLER BASED ON YOUR PURCHASE
AGREEMENT. THOSE RIGHTS ARE NOT IN ANY
WAY AFFECTED BY THIS HP LIMITED WARRANTY.
Limitation of Liability
IF YOUR HP HARDWARE PRODUCT FAILS TO WORK AS
WARRANTED ABOVE, HP’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE
LESSER OF THE PRICE YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT
OR THE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY
HARDWARE COMPONENTS THAT MALFUNCTION IN
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE.
EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP BE
LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT
OR THE FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT TO PERFORM,
INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS OR
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
HP IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM MADE BY A THIRD
PARTY OR MADE BY YOU FOR A THIRD PARTY.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES WHETHER
DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT, OR A CLAIM MADE, UNDER
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR AS A TORT CLAIM
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT PRODUCT
LIABILITY), A CONTRACT CLAIM, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CANNOT BE WAIVED OR
AMENDED BY ANY PERSON. THIS LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY WILL BE EFFECTIVE EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED
HP OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF HP OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY, HOWEVER, WILL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS
FOR PERSONAL INJURY.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT MAY
VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR FROM
COUNTRY/REGION TO COUNTRY/REGION. YOU ARE
ADVISED TO CONSULT APPLICABLE STATE OR
COUNTRY/REGION LAWS FOR A FULL DETERMINATION
OF YOUR RIGHTS.
Limited Warranty Period
The Limited Warranty Period for an HP Hardware Product
is a specified, fixed period commencing on the date of
purchase. The date on your sales receipt is the date of
purchase unless HP or your reseller informs you otherwise
in writing.
Types of Warranty Service
To enable HP to provide the best possible support and
service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be
directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent
firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests,
or use HP remote support solutions where applicable.
HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of or to
employ available support technologies provided by HP.
If you choose not to deploy available remote support
capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased
support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of
warranty support service that may be applicable to the HP
Hardware Product you have purchased.
Carry-in Warranty Service
Hardware service during the warranty period can be
obtained by returning your PC to an HP Pavilion PC
authorized service provider.
Customer Self Repair Warranty Service
In countries/regions where it is available, your HP Limited
Warranty may include a customer self repair warranty
service. If applicable, HP will determine in its sole discretion
that customer self repair is the appropriate method of
warranty service. If so, HP will ship approved replacement
parts directly to you to fulfill your HP Hardware Product
warranty service. This will save considerable repair time.
After you contact HP and the fault diagnosis identifies that
the problem can be fixed using one of these parts, a
replaceable part can be sent directly to you. Once the part
arrives, replace the defective part pursuant to the provided
instructions and documentation. If further assistance is
required, call the HP Technical Support Center, and a
technician will assist you over the phone. In cases where the
replacement part must be returned to HP, you must ship the
defective part back to HP within a defined period of time,
normally fifteen (15) days. The defective part must be
returned with the associated documentation in the provided
shipping material. Failure to return the defective product
may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a
customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return
costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used. If
customer self repair applies to you, please refer to your
specific HP Hardware Product announcement. You can
also obtain information on this warranty service on the
HP Web site at:
http://www.hp.com/support
Pickup and Return Warranty Service
Your HP Limited Warranty may include a pickup and return
warranty service. Under the terms of pickup and return
service, HP will pick up the defective unit from your location,
repair it, and return it back to your location. HP will incur all
repair, logistics, and insurance costs in this process.
