Customer-replaceable components may be serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping charges, duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on replacement of the component when necessary; and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be returned.
HP products external to the system processor unit–such as external storage subsystems, displays, printers, and other peripherals–are covered by the applicable warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the HP Software Product Limited Warranty.
On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products–whether internal or external to the system processor unit–are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
On-site service for this product is restricted or unavailable in certain locations. In HP Excluded Travel Areas–areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped roads, or unsuitable public transportation prohibit routine travel–service is provided on a negotiated basis at extra charge.
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally next business day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1-3 (generally 100 miles or 160 Km from the HP office). Response time is second business day for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 Km); third business day for Zone 6 (300 miles, 480 Km); and negotiated beyond Zone 6. Worldwide Customer Support Travel information is available from any HP Sales and Service Office.
Travel restrictions and response time for dealer or distributor service are defined by the participating dealer or distributor.
Service contracts which provide after-hour or weekend coverage, faster response time, or service in an Excluded Travel Area are often available from HP, an authorized dealer, or authorized distributor at additional charge.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic programs before an on-site visit or replacement part will be dispatched.
The customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs.
For on-site service, the customer must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and facilities within a reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all information and facilities determined necessary by HP to service the product; and operating supplies and consumables such as the customer would use during normal operation.
When service is being performed on-site, a representative of the customer must be present at all times. The customer must state if the product is being used in an environment which poses a potential health hazard to repair personnel; HP or the servicing dealer may require that the product be maintained by customer personnel under direct HP or dealer supervision.
Obtaining Return Warranty Service
When return warranty service applies, the product must be returned to a service facility designated by HP. Customer must enclose a copy of a document proving date of purchase.
The customer shall prepay shipping charges (and shall pay all duty and taxes) for products returned to HP for warranty service. HP shall pay for return of products to the customer except for products returned to the customer from another country.
