Statement
HP PRODUCT DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY
Hardware — Parts and Labor: 1 Year
Phone assistance to get you up-and-running: 30 days
HP warrants to you, the end-user customer, that HP
hardware, accessories, and supplies will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship after the date of
purchase, for the period specified above. If HP receives
notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will,
at its option, either repair or replace products which prove
to be defective. Replacement products may be either new
or equivalent in performance to new.
HP warrants to you that HP software will not fail to
execute its programming instructions after the date of
purchase, for the period specified above, due to defects in
material and workmanship when properly installed and
used. If HP receives notice of such defects during the
warranty period, HP will replace software which does not
execute its programming instructions due to such defects.
HP does not warrant that the operation of HP products
will be uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within
a reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a
condition as warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of
the purchase price on a prorated basis upon prompt return
of the product.
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent
to new in performance or may have been subject to
incidental use.
Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from
(a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration,
(b) software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by
HP, (c) unauthorized modification or misuse, (d) computer
viruses of any origin, (e) operation outside of the published
environmental specifications for the product, (f) improper
site preparation or maintenance, or (g) unplanned acts of
nature, such as floods, tornadoes, lightning strikes,
hurricanes, or earthquakes. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED
BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE
EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR
CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND HP SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY,
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some countries/regions, states,
or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitation or exclusion
might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights and you might also have other rights that vary
from country/region to country/region, state to state, or
province to province.
HP’s limited warranty is valid in any country/region or
locality where HP has a support presence for this product
and where HP has marketed this product. The level of
warranty service you receive may vary according to local
standards. HP will not alter form, fit, or function of the
product to make it operate in a country/region for which it
was never intended to function for legal or regulatory
reasons.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE
REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE
YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS
INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL HP OR ITS
SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR
DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
(INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER
DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT,
OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states, or
provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS
STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR
MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE
MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO
THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.
Network Interface Cards
HP warrants the operation on a network interface card
(NIC), only if factory preinstalled by HP, as follows: HP
will make sure the correct drivers are installed; HP will
make sure that the HP Pavilion recognizes the NIC. NO
CONNECTIVITY ISSUES ARE SUPPORTED.
DVD Country/Region Codes
DVD players utilize country/region codes to limit playing
DVDs designed for that country/region. You may change
the country/region setting of a DVD player only five times.
After changing this setting five times, the setting becomes
permanent and cannot be changed.
Software Media (CDs)
The software CDs that come with your system are
warranted to be free from defects for one year. Any claims
for missing CDs need to be made within 30 days. Any
claims for defective CDs may require the exchange of
the CDs.
