HP warrants that the Compaq hardware product and all the internal components of the product that you have purchased or leased from HP are 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 Compaq branded hardware is required within the Limited Warranty Period. This Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser or lessee of this Compaq branded product and is not transferable to anyone who obtains ownership of the Compaq branded product from the original purchaser or lessee.
Compaq products are manufactured using new materials or new and used materials equivalent to new in performance and reliability. Spare parts may be new or equivalent to new. Spare parts are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for thirty (30) days or for the remainder of the

This is your exclusive remedy for defective products.
