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.
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 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but may
vary with local business practices. If your location is outside
the customary service zone (typically 50km), response times
may be longer or there may be additional charges. To
locate the nearest HP authorized service provider refer to
the HP website 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 co-operate 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.
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.
