Unless otherwise stated, and to the extent permitted by local
law, new HP Hardware Products may be manufactured
using new materials or new and used materials equivalent
to new in performance and reliability. HP may repair or
replace HP Hardware Products (a) with new or previously
used products or parts equivalent to new in performance
and reliability, or (b) with equivalent products to an original
product that has been discontinued. Replacement 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
they are replacing or in which they are installed, whichever
is longer.
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will, at its discretion,
repair or replace any defective component. All component
parts or hardware products removed under this Limited
Warranty become the property of HP. In the unlikely event
that your HP Hardware Product has recurring failures,
HP, at its sole discretion, may elect to provide you with
(a) a replacement unit of HP’s choosing that is the same or
equivalent to your HP Hardware Product in performance or
(b) 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.
Exclusions
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 intended for the HP Hardware Product.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable or
consumable parts and 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, contamination, improper or inadequate
maintenance or calibration or other external causes; (b) by
operation outside the usage parameters stated in the user
documentation that shipped with the product; (c) by
software, interfacing, parts or supplies not supplied by HP;
(d) improper site preparation or maintenance; (e) virus
infection; (f) loss or damage in transit; or (g) 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.
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.
Exclusive Remedy
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW,

connection with your purchase or lease of the HP Hardware
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 HARDWARE PRODUCT FAILS TO WORK AS
WARRANTED ABOVE, HP’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER

LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT
