Customer Responsibilities

HP products may contain remanufactured parts, which are equivalent to new in performance or may have been subject to incidental use.

Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, (b) software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by HP, (c) unauthorized modification or misuse, (d) computer viruses of any origin, (e) operation outside of the published environmental specifications for the product, (f) improper site preparation or maintenance, or

(g)unplanned acts of nature, such as floods, tornadoes, lightning strikes, hurricanes, or earthquakes.

HP MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR CONDITION WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. Some countries/regions, states, or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary from country/region to country/region, state to state, or province to province.

HP’s limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for this product and where HP has marketed this product. The level of warranty service you receive may vary according to local standards. HP will not alter form, fit, or function of the product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to function for legal or regulatory reasons.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

The above warranty is transferable upon sale.

You may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic programs before replacement component (e.g., keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc.) is dispatched. You are responsible for the security of your proprietary and confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs. You should back up all data on your system before calling the HP Customer Care Center. Additionally, the customer is responsible for removing any components that were added after the purchase of the system. HP will not be responsible for components that the customer doesn’t remove.

Obtaining Hardware Warranty Repair Service

For the duration of the hardware warranty period, hardware repair service includes Consumer Replaceable Parts Service, Send-in Repair Service, and Carry-In Service (ASP Retailer). To obtain hardware warranty service, call HP’s Customer Care Center at 1-800-HP-INVENT (U.S. and Canada).

Consumer Replaceable Parts Service

Components such as the keyboard, mouse, hard disc drive, and CD-ROM, may be serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will send you the component with instructions on replacement.

In some cases, HP will ask for a credit card as collateral for the part and will charge you for the retail price of the part if the failed part is not returned within thirty (30) days.
