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.
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/region.
These terms and conditions constitute the complete and
exclusive warranty agreement between you and HP regarding
the Compaq branded product you have purchased or leased.
These terms and conditions supersede any prior agreements or
representations — including representations made in 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 Compaq 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.
Options and Software
The Limited Warranty terms and conditions for HP options
are as indicated in the Limited Warranty applicable to HP
options. HP DOES NOT WARRANTY SOFTWARE
PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OR
THE OPERATING SYSTEM PREINSTALLED BY HP. HP’s
only obligations with respect to software distributed by HP
under the Compaq brand name are set forth in the applicable
end-user license or program license agreement. Non-HP
hardware and software products are provided “AS IS.”
However, non-HP manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers
may provide their own warranties to you.
