General Terms
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY, HEWLETT-PACKARD MAKES NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. HP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE
IMPOSED BY LAW ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
COUNTRIES/REGIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION
ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR CONSUMER
PRODUCTS. IN SUCH STATES OR COUNTRIES/REGIONS,
SOME EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
This Limited Warranty applies to the Compaq branded
hardware products sold by or leased from Hewlett-Packard
Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, authorized resellers, or
country/region distributors (collectively referred to in this
Limited Warranty as "HP") with this Limited Warranty. This
Limited Warranty is applicable in all countries/regions and
may be enforced in any country/region where HP or its
authorized service providers offer warranty service subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Limited Warranty.
However, warranty service availability and response times
may vary from country/region to country/region and may
also be subject to registration requirements in the
country/region of purchase.
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 Limited Warranty Period of the Compaq
hardware product in which they are installed, whichever is
longer.
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will repair or
replace the defective component parts or the hardware
product. All component parts or hardware products removed
under this Limited Warranty become the property of HP. The
replacement part or product takes on either the Limited
Warranty status of the removed part or product or the
thirty (30) day limited warranty of the spare part. In the
unlikely event that your Compaq product has a recurring
failure, HP, at its discretion, may elect to provide you with
a replacement unit of HP's choosing that is at least
equivalent to your Compaq branded product in hardware
performance. HP reserves the right to elect, at its sole
discretion, to give you a refund of your purchase price or
lease payments (less interest) instead of a replacement. This
is your exclusive remedy for defective products.
YOU SHOULD MAKE PERIODIC BACKUP COPIES OF THE
DATA STORED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE OR OTHER
STORAGE DEVICES AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST
POSSIBLE FAILURES, ALTERATION, OR LOSS OF THE DATA.
BEFORE RETURNING ANY UNIT FOR SERVICE, BE SURE
TO BACK UP DATA AND REMOVE ANY CONFIDENTIAL,
PROPRIETARY, OR PERSONAL INFORMATION. HP IS
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF ANY
PROGRAMS, DATA, OR REMOVABLE STORAGE MEDIA.
HP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESTORATION OR
REINSTALLATION OF ANY PROGRAMS OR DATA OTHER
THAN SOFTWARE INSTALLED BY HP WHEN THE
PRODUCT IS MANUFACTURED.
HP does not warrant that the operation of this product will
be uninterrupted or error-free. HP is not responsible for
damage that occurs as a result of your failure to follow the
instructions that came with the Compaq branded product.
