condition of receiving warranty service. You are entitled to warranty service
according to the terms and conditions of this document if a repair to your
Compaq branded hardware is required within the Limited Warranty Period. This
Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser or lessee of this
Compaq branded product and is not transferable to anyone who obtains
ownership of the Compaq branded product from the original purchaser or lessee.
Compaq products are manufactured using new materials or new and used
materials equivalent to new in performance and reliability. Spare parts may be
new or equivalent to new. Spare parts are warranted to be free from defects in
material or workmanship for thirty (30) days or for the remainder of the Limited
Warranty Period of the Compaq hardware product in which they are installed,
whichever is longer.
During the Limited Warranty Period, Compaq will repair or replace the
defective component parts or the hardware product. All component parts or
hardware products removed under this Limited Warranty become the property of
Compaq. The replacement part or product takes on either the Limited Warranty
status of the removed part or product or the thirty (30) day limited warranty of
the spare part. In the unlikely event that your Compaq product has a recurring
failure, Compaq, at its discretion, may elect to provide you with a replacement
unit of Compaq's choosing that is at least equivalent to your Compaq branded
product in hardware performance. Compaq reserves the right to elect, at its sole
discretion, 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.

YOUR HARD DRIVE OR OTHER STORAGE DEVICES AS A PRECAUTION

INFORMATION. COMPAQ IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS
OF ANY PROGRAMS, DATA, OR REMOVABLE STORAGE MEDIA. COMPAQ IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESTORATION OR REINSTALLATION OF ANY
PROGRAMS OR DATA OTHER THAN SOFTWARE INSTALLED BY COMPAQ
WHEN THE PRODUCT IS MANUFACTURED.
Compaq does not warrant that the operation of this product will be uninterrupted
or error-free. Compaq is not responsible for damage that occurs as a result of

Warranty does not extend to any product from which the serial number has been
