HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if on-site warranty service is required. For example, in many cases, the defect can be fixed by the use of a customer self-repair (CSR) 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, installing software updates or patches, removing third-party options and/or substituting options. In order to receive onsite 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 manufacturers 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.

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.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE SOFTWARE END-USER LICENSE OR PROGRAM LICENSE AGREEMENT, OR IF OTHERWISE PROVIDED UNDER LOCAL LAW, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, FREEWARE (AS DEFINED BELOW), AND THE OPERATING SYSTEM PREINSTALLED BY HP ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND HP HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE AND NON- INFRINGEMENT, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF LACK OF VIRUSES. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on the duration of implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to you in its entirety. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT) EVEN IF HP OR ANY SUPPLIER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
HP’s only warranty obligations with respect to software distributed by HP under the HP brand name are set forth in the applicable end-user license or program license agreement provided with that software. If the removable media on which HP distributes the software proves to be defective in materials or workmanship within ninety (90) days of purchase, your sole remedy shall be to return the removable media to HP for replacement. For blank tape removable media, refer to the following Web site:
