WARRANTY, HP MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

HP warrants that the HP 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 HP branded hardware is
required within the Limited Warranty Period. This Limited Warranty extends
only to the original purchaser or lessee of this HP branded product and is not
transferable to anyone who obtains ownership of the HP branded product from
the original purchaser or lessee.
HP 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 ninety (90) days or for the remainder of the Limited
Warranty Period of the HP 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 ninety (90) day limited warranty of the spare
part. In the unlikely event that your HP 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 HP 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 HP branded product.

This Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable parts. This Limited
Warranty does not extend to any product from which the serial number has been
removed or that has been damaged or rendered defective (a) as a result of
accident, misuse, abuse, or other external causes; (b) by operation outside the
usage parameters stated in the user documentation that shipped with the
product; (c) by the use of parts not manufactured or sold by HP; or (d) by
modification or service by anyone other than (i) HP, (ii) an HP authorized
service provider, or (iii) your own installation of end-user replaceable HP or HP
approved parts if available for your product in the servicing country.
These terms and conditions constitute the complete and exclusive warranty
agreement between you and HP regarding the HP branded product you have
purchased or leased. These terms and conditions supersede any prior agreements
or representations—including representations made in HP sales literature or
advice given to you by HP or an agent or employee of HP—that may have been
made in connection with your purchase or lease of the HP branded product. No
change to the conditions of this Limited Warranty is valid unless it is made in
writing and signed by an authorized representative of HP.

Limitation of Liability
IF YOUR HP BRANDED HARDWARE PRODUCT FAILS TO WORK AS
WARRANTED ABOVE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. HP’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE
PRICE YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT OR THE COST OF REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF ANY HARDWARE COMPONENTS THAT MALFUNCTION IN
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE.
HP IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT OR THE
FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT TO PERFORM, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS
OR SAVINGS OR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
HP IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM MADE BY A THIRD PARTY OR MADE BY
YOU FOR A THIRD PARTY.

support. After the first thirty (30) days, technical support for software that was
