Limited Warranty Period
The Limited Warranty Period for an HP Hardware Product
is a specified, fixed period commencing on the date of
purchase. The date on your sales receipt is the date of
purchase unless HP or your reseller informs you otherwise
in writing.
Types of Warranty Service
To enable HP to provide the best possible support and
service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be
directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent
firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests,
or use HP remote support solutions where applicable.
HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of or to
employ available support technologies provided by HP.
If you choose not to deploy available remote support
capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased
support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of
warranty support service that may be applicable to the
HP Hardware Product you have purchased.
Customer Self Repair Warranty
Service
In countries/regions where it is available, your HP Limited
Warranty may include a customer self repair warranty
service. If applicable, HP will determine in its sole discretion
that customer self repair is the appropriate method of
warranty service. If so, HP will ship approved replacement
parts directly to you to fulfill your HP Hardware Product
warranty service. This will save considerable repair time.
After you contact the HP Technical Support Center and the
fault diagnosis identifies that the problem can be fixed using
one of these parts, a replaceable part can be sent directly to
you. Once the part arrives, replace the defective part
pursuant to the provided instructions and documentation. 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.
In-Home 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 8:00am to 5:00pm, 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 at:
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 on-site 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 that 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 manufacturer's 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.
