Hewlett-Packard limited global warranty statement

The following information specifies the HP limited global warranty.

Extent of limited warranty

Hewlett-Packard ("HP") warrants to the end-user customer ("Customer") that each HP Photosmart 2600/2700 series all-in-one product ("Product"), including related software, accessories, media, and supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.

For each hardware Product, the duration of HP's limited warranty is one year for parts and one year for labor. For all other Products, the duration of HP's limited warranty for both parts and labor is ninety days.

For each software Product, HP's limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be uninterrupted or error free.

HP's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of (a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) software, accessories, media, or supplies not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product's specifications.

For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the Customer. However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product for the failure or damage.

If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product, HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP's option. Where labor charges are not covered by HP's limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP's standard charges for labor.

If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the Product.

HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer returns the defective Product to HP.

Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.

HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.

HP's limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality where the covered HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty service, such as on-site service, are available from any authorized HP service facility in countries/regions where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized representative.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT,
