HP Presario CQ5700 - Desktop PC Limited Warranty page 5

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.
HP will, at its discretion, repair or replace any component or hardware product that
manifests a defect in materials or workmanship during the Limited Warranty Period. 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 to provide you with (a) 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,
