Warranty and License Information
To Our Valued Customer
Congratulations on your decision to purchase an HP Pavilion
home PC! During development, the HP Pavilion must pass
extensive quality tests to meet the rigorous standards that
have made HP famous for quality and reliability.
All HP Pavilions go through a comprehensive quality test to
ensure the PC is working correctly before it leaves our
factory. In addition, we have placed a security seal on your
PC to indicate that it has not been tampered with since it left
our factory.
We know that expanding and upgrading are key benefits
for all customers. We are proud to make this a key
differentiator for our HP Pavilion and understand that you
may wish to upgrade your PC to meet your specific needs.
Any hardware upgrades that you intend to do should only
be done after you have completely set up your new
HP Pavilion. Refer to the setup poster included with your
system for help with setting up. If you have any problems
setting up your system and turning it on, immediately contact
the HP Customer Care Center listed earlier in this Warranty
and Support Guide, and an HP Customer Representative will
assist you. This must be done first before attempting to
upgrade your system.
By breaking the security seal on the back of the HP Pavilion,
you are confirming that the HP Pavilion was working
properly before you attempted to upgrade your system.
Once the security seal has been broken, your HP Pavilion is
then, to the extent allowed by local law, covered under the
terms and conditions listed in the following pages.
Thank you for choosing the HP Pavilion. We hope you enjoy
discovering the exciting things you can do with it!
HP Customer Care
Easy to reach. Easy to use. Award-winning HP Customer
Care is our promise to help you get the most from your
HP Pavilion. Whether with tools located on your PC, from
information on the Web, by phone, or through your local
retailer, you’ll find what you need.
Problems? HP Will Help
Your new HP Pavilion computer is built to work right now —
and for many years to come. But it is a complex, powerful
machine, and sometimes things go wrong. If that happens to
your computer, Hewlett-Packard is ready to help.
Getting Started
Follow the setup poster and the User’s Guide for help with
setting up and using your PC.
Register Your PC
It is always best to register your PC. This allows for quicker
help when you need it. You can register your PC on the
Web at http://register.hp.com
See What You Can Do
There’s lots of helpful information included with your
HP Pavilion. First look at Help on your Windows®desktop
(to access it, click Start on the taskbar). It contains more
detailed help and will give you suggestions on how to fix
the problem.
Within the Help and Support Center, you can get the latest
news from HP about your PC. Be sure to also check the
updates from HP that are sent to your desktop from time
to time.
Next, try a little surfing! The HP Web site has updated
software, tips and tricks, answers for common problems,
and other information. Go to the Support Web site listed
earlier in this document and search for your HP Pavilion
model.
Call HP Customer Care Center
Finally, if these steps don’t help, you can reach a real,
knowledgeable person by calling the HP Customer Care
Center in your area. Phone assistance to get you up and
running is free for 30 days from the time you purchased
your computer. After 30 days, there may be a charge, but
the helpful support is still available.
And, if Necessary: Get Repair
If your computer needs to be repaired or to have parts
replaced, you have two choices.
1 You can easily replace many of your HP Pavilion parts
that are considered consumer replaceable. This is the
fastest method of repair, as many times we can send the
part directly to your home or business in a few days.
2 If a repair is necessary, the HP Customer Care Center will
make arrangements to fix your computer.
These services are free during the warranty period.
There are a few limitations and exclusions to this warranty
(as well as some important details), which are described in
the following section.

The Legal Language
Hewlett-Packard Limited Warranty
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.
Customer Responsibilities
You may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic
programs before an in-home visit will be scheduled or a
replacement part will be dispatched.

5
You are responsible for the security of your proprietary and
confidential information and for maintaining a procedure
external to the products for reconstruction of lost or altered
files, data, or programs. You should back up all data on
your system before calling the HP Customer Care Center.
For In-home service, you must provide: Access to the
product; adequate working space and facilities within a
reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all
information and facilities determined necessary by HP to
service the product; and operating supplies and
consumables such as you would use during normal
operation.
When service is being performed in-home, you or your
representative, 18 years of age or older, must be present at
all times. You must state if the product is being used in an
environment which poses a potential health hazard to repair
personnel; HP may require that the product be maintained
by customer personnel under direct HP supervision. HP may
also refuse to provide In-home service in special
circumstances and will provide an alternative repair method
such as Carry-in repair.
Obtaining Hardware Warranty Repair
Service
For the duration of the one-year parts and labor warranty,
repair service includes Customer-replaceable Parts services,
Carry-in services, and In-home services as described below.
To obtain hardware warranty service, call the HP Customer
Care Center. You must be prepared to supply the
proof-of-purchase date.
The time it takes to repair your computer will vary based
upon location and circumstances. The phone agent can
supply more details.
Customer-Replaceable Parts Services
Customer-replaceable components — such as the keyboard,
mouse, speakers, and monitor — may be serviced through
expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will send you the
component and, if necessary, telephone assistance on
replacement of the component. In some cases, HP will ask
for a credit card as collateral for the part (such as monitors)
and will charge you for the retail price of the part if the
failed product is not returned within 30 days.
Carry-In Services
Hardware service during the one-year warranty period is
provided by bringing or mailing your PC to an HP Pavilion
authorized service provider. The HP Customer Care Center
can provide you with details on the location nearest you.
In-Home Services
In-home service is available for certain products sold and
serviced within Australia, India, and New Zealand only. The
HP Customer Care Center can give you more information.
