HP Hardware

This Hardware Limited Warranty applies only to the HP-branded and Compaq-branded hardware (collectively referred to in this Hardware Limited Warranty as "HP Hardware") sold by or leased from Hewlett-Packard Company, its worldwide subsidiaries, affiliates, authorized resellers, or country distributors (collectively referred to in this Hardware Limited Warranty as "HP") with this Hardware Limited Warranty. The term "HP Hardware" is limited to the hardware components and required firmware. The term "HP Hardware" DOES NOT include any software applications or programs.

HP does NOT provide support for this product configured as a network server.

Unless otherwise stated, and to the extent permitted by local law, hardware products may be manufactured using new materials or new and used materials equivalent to new in performance and reliability. HP may repair or replace HP hardware products (i) with equivalent products to the products being repaired or replaced but which may have been subject to prior use, (ii) with products containing remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or parts which may have been used, or (iii) with equivalent products to an original product that has been discontinued. Replacement parts are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for thirty (30) days or for the remainder of the Limited Warranty Period of the HP Hardware in which they are installed, whichever is longer.

Non-HP Hardware

All non-HP hardware products or peripherals external to the central processor unit—such as external storage subsystems, displays, printers, and other peripherals—are covered by the applicable vendor warranties for those products. Non-HP hardware products are not warranted by HP. However, non-HP manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide their own warranties directly to you.

Proof of Purchase and Limited Warranty Period

HP warrants that the HP Hardware that you have purchased or leased from HP is free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal use during the Limited Warranty Period. The Limited Warranty Period starts on the date of purchase or lease from HP. Your dated sales or delivery receipt, showing the date of purchase or lease of the product, is your proof of the purchase or lease date. You may be required to provide proof of purchase or lease as a condition of receiving warranty service. You are entitled to warranty service according to the terms and conditions of this document if a repair to your HP Hardware is required within the Limited Warranty Period.
