HP Workstation xw3100 Limited Warranty page 2

HP is not responsible for any tariffs or duties that may be incurred in transferring the products. Transfer
of the products 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, authorized distributors, or country
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. To the extent allowed by local law, 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 guarantees 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. The phrase "equivalent to new" when used in this Limited Warranty means used or refurbished
parts or products which are not new. However such parts or products, though not new, are refurbished to
a condition which is 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 sole 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 selected by HP 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. To the extent allowed by local law, this is your exclusive remedy
for defective products.
