HP Product Warranty

A. Extent of Limited Warranty
1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user
customer that HP products will be free from defects
in materials and workmanship, for a specified time
after the date of purchase by the customer. The
duration of this limited warranty is stated above.
Certain additional conditions and limitations of
HP’s warranty are stated elsewhere in the user’s guide.
Those conditions and limitations include:
a. For software products, the warranty applies only to
the media upon which the product is recorded; and
b. HP does not warrant the operation of any product to
be uninterrupted or error free.
2. HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects which
arise as a result of normal use of the product, and do
not apply to any:
a. Improper or inadequate maintenance;
b. Software or interfacing not supplied by HP;
c. Unauthorized modification or misuse;
d. Operation outside the product’s environmental
specifications, including duty cycle abuse or use
of a mechanical switchbox without a designated
surge protector;
e. Use of unsupported printing media or memory
boards; or
f. Improper site preparation or maintenance.
3. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP print
cartridge or a refilled print cartridge does not affect
either the warranty to the customer or any HP support
contract with the customer; print cartridge includes
both toner cartridges and ink cartridges. However, if
printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a
non-HP or refilled print cartridge, HP will charge its
standard time and materials charges to service the
printer for the particular failure or damage.
4. If any software media product or print cartridge
product proves defective during the applicable
warranty period, and if the product is covered by
HP’s warranty, the customer shall return the product for
replacement.
5. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period,
notice of a defect in a hardware product that is
covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall either repair or
replace the product, at its option. Any replacement
product may be either new or like-new, provided that it
has functionality at least equal to that of the product
being replaced.
6. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a
defective product that is covered by HP’s warranty, HP
shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of
the defect, refund the purchase price for the product,
provided the customer returns the product.
7. HP’s warranty is valid in any country where the
HP products listed above are distributed by HP, except
for the Middle East, Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico,
Venezuela, and France’s “Departements D’Outre Mer”;
for those excepted areas, the warranty is valid only
in the country of purchase. Contracts for additional
warranty services, such as on-site service, may
be available from any authorized HP service facility
where the listed HP product is distributed by HP or an
authorized importer.
8. This Limited Warranty Statement gives the customer
specific legal rights. The customer may also have other
rights which vary from state to state in the United
States, from province to province in Canada, and from
country to country elsewhere in the world.
B. Limitations of Warranty
1. NEITHER HP NOR ANY OF ITS THIRD-PARTY
SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO HP PRODUCTS. HP AND
ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
2. To the extent that this Limited Warranty Statement is
inconsistent with the law of the locality where the
customer uses the HP product, this Limited Warranty
Statement shall be deemed modified to be consistent
with such local law. Under such local law, certain
limitations of this Limited Warranty Statement may not
apply to the customer. For example, some states in the
United States, as well as some governments outside
the United States (including provinces in Canada),
may:
a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this
Warranty Statement from limiting the statutory rights
of a consumer (e.g., Australia and the United
Kingdom);
b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to
make such disclaimers or impose such limitations; or
c. Grant the customer additional warranty rights,
specify the duration of implied warranties that the
manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
3. To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies
provided in this Warranty Statement are the customer’s
sole and exclusive remedies.
C. Limitation of Liability
1. EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY
SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT,
IN NO EVENT SHALL HP BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER
LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED ON
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
