HP External Portable Drive User Manual
F. To the extent consistent with local law, (a) HP Hardware Products presented for repair may be replaced by
refurbished HP Hardware Products of the same type rather than being repaired, (b) refurbished parts may be used
to repair HP Hardware Products and (c) replaced or repaired HP Hardware Products will be functionally equivalent in
performance and reliability to original products that have been discontinued. Unless otherwise required by local law,
replacement HP Hardware Products are warranted to be free of defects in materials or workmanship for 90 days
or for the remainder of the original warranty period, whichever is longer, and all hardware products removed under
this HP Limited Warranty become the property of HP. New and repaired HP Hardware Products may contain new and
remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.
G. This HP Limited Warranty is valid in any country where the covered HP Hardware Product is distributed by HP,
affiliates, and authorized distributors. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as onsite service, may be
available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or its authorized
importer.
H. User-generated data may be lost during repair. Before troubleshooting or returning any HP Hardware Product for
service, be sure to back up data and remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information. To the extent
permitted by local law, HP is not responsible for damage to, or loss of, any programs, data, or removable storage
media. It is your responsibility to back up all your data on a regular basis and prior to returning for service.

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FOR ALL UNITED STATES TRANSACTIONS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF
MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS
WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long implied warranties last, so the above
limitation may not apply to you.

WARRANTY, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,

THIRD-PARTY OR MADE BY YOU FOR A THIRD PARTY; (v) THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS FOR
PERSONAL INJURY; AND (vi) THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES. Some states or countries do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages so the above
limitation may not apply to you.
