Limited Warranty Period

The Limited Warranty Period for an HP Hardware Product is a specified, fixed period commencing on the date of purchase. The date on your sales receipt is the date of purchase unless HP or your reseller informs you otherwise in writing.

Types of Warranty Service

To enable HP to provide the best possible support and service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests or use HP remote support solutions where applicable.

HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of or to employ available support technologies provided by HP. If you choose not to deploy available remote support capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of warranty support service that may be applicable to the HP Hardware Product you have purchased.

On-site Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty service may include on-site labor support to repair your hardware. HP provides on-site service during standard office hours. Standard office hours are typically 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 50km), response times may be longer or there may be additional charges. To locate the nearest HP authorized service provider refer to the HP Web site at:

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 co-operate 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 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.
