Contacting HP

HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if in-home warranty service is required. For example, in many cases, the defect can be fixed by the use of a customer self repair part that you are required to replace yourself based on instructions and documentation provided by HP. You are also required to cooperate with HP in attempting to resolve the problem over the telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic procedures, removing third-party options, and/or substituting options. In order to receive in-home support, you must: (a) have a representative present when HP provides warranty services at your site; (b) notify HP if products are being used in an environment which poses a potential health or safety hazard to HP employees or subcontractors;

(c)subject to its reasonable security requirements, provide HP with sufficient, free, and safe access to and use of all facilities, information, and systems determined necessary by HP to provide timely support; (d) ensure that all manufacturer’s labels (such as serial numbers) are in place, accessible, and legible; (e) maintain an environment consistent with product specifications and supported configurations.

If you require an HP representative to handle all component replacements, support uplift contracts are available at additional cost.

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.

Advanced Unit Replacement Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include an advanced unit replacement warranty service. Under the terms of the advanced unit replacement warranty service, if a unit is diagnosed as defective, HP will ship a replacement product directly to you. The defective unit will be packaged and returned to HP. HP will incur all shipping and insurance costs to return the defective unit to HP. Failure to return the defective unit may result in HP billing you for the replacement product.

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, refer to your specific HP Hardware Product announcement.
