If further assistance is required, call the HP Technical Support Center, and a technician will assist you over the phone. In cases where the replacement part must be returned to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally thirty (30) days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective product may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self-repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used. If customer self-repair applies to you, please refer to your specific HP Hardware Product announcement. You can also obtain information on this warranty service on the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/support

Pickup and Return Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include a pickup and return warranty service. Under the terms of pickup and return service, HP will pick up the defective unit from your location, repair it, and return it back to your location. HP will incur all repair, logistics, and insurance costs in this process.

Carry-in Warranty Service

Under the terms of carry-in service, you will be required to deliver your HP Hardware Product to an authorized service location for warranty repair. You must prepay any shipping charges, taxes, or duties associated with transportation of the product to and from the service location. In addition, you are responsible for insuring any product shipped or returned to an authorized service location and assume risk of loss during shipping.

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 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 30 mi/50 km) 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: http://www.hp.com/support

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 cooperate 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 manufacturers 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.

Service Upgrades

HP has a range of additional support and service coverage for your product that can be purchased locally. However, some support and related products may not be available in all countries/regions. For information on availability of service upgrades and the cost for these service upgrades, refer to the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/support

Options and Software Limited Warranties

The Limited Warranty terms and conditions for most HP-branded options (HP Options) are as set forth in the Limited Warranty applicable to the HP Option and are included in the HP Option product packaging. If your HP Option is installed in an HP Hardware Product, HP may provide warranty service for either the period specified in the warranty documents (HP Option Limited Warranty Period) that shipped with the HP Option or for the remaining warranty period of the HP Hardware Product in which the HP Option is being installed, whichever period is the longer, but not to exceed three (3) years from the date you purchased the HP option. The HP Option Limited Warranty Period starts from the date of purchase from HP or an HP authorized reseller. Your dated sales or delivery receipt, showing the date of purchase of the HP Option, is your warranty start date. See your HP Option Limited Warranty for more details. Non-HP options are provided “AS IS.” However, non-HP manufacturers and suppliers may provide warranties directly to you.
