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.
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 the HP Technical Support Center 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 thirty (30) 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.
Carry-in Warranty Service
Under the terms of carry-in service, you will be required to
deliver your HP Hardware Product to an authorized service
location for warranty repair. You must prepay any shipping
charges, taxes, or duties associated with transportation of
the product to and from the service location. In addition,
you are responsible for insuring any product shipped or
returned to an authorized service location and assume risk
of loss during shipping.
Service Upgrades
HP has a range of additional support and service coverage
for your product that can be purchased locally. However,
some support and related products may not be available in
all countries/regions. For information on availability of
service upgrades and the cost for these service upgrades,
refer to the HP Web site at:

Options and Software
Limited Warranties
The Limited Warranty terms and conditions for most
HP-branded options (HP Options) are as set forth in the
Limited Warranty applicable to the HP Option and are
included in the HP Option product packaging. If your
HP Option is installed in an HP Hardware Product, HP may
provide warranty service for either the period specified in
the warranty documents (HP Option Limited Warranty
Period) that shipped with the HP Option or for the remaining
warranty period of the HP Hardware Product in which the
HP Option is being installed, whichever period is the longer,
but not to exceed three (3) years from the date you
purchased the HP option. The HP Option Limited Warranty
Period starts from the date of purchase from HP or an HP
authorized reseller. Your dated sales or delivery receipt,
showing the date of purchase of the HP Option, is your
warranty start date. See your HP Option Limited Warranty
for more details. Non-HP options are provided "AS IS".
However, non-HP manufacturers and suppliers may provide
warranties directly to you.
