HP Blackbird 002-01A HP Blackbird Gaming System - Warranty and Support - Page 4

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. HP will, at its discretion, repair or replace any component or hardware product that manifests a defect in materials or workmanship during the Limited Warranty Period. 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, including as a result of an option, setting, or component chosen by you, against HP's collective and expressed recommendations, that has been advertised or is commonly known to have potentially destructive tendencies; (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) by improper site preparation or maintenance or lack of maintenance, such as neglecting to maintain cooling systems that require regular maintenance, or failures cause by dust, dirt, or smoke; (e) by virus infection; (f) from 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-userreplaceable HP or HP-approved parts if available for your product in the servicing country/region. This Limited Warranty does not apply to physical damages, lack of performance, loss of data, or any other incidents caused by overclocking of components (overclocking occurs when you increase the performance of certain components beyond the manufacturer's recommended limits), including any collateral damage to the HP Hardware Product or any peripherals that is determined to be the result of overclocked components. Any HP Hardware Product found to be overclocked after delivery from HP will be excluded from the terms of this Limited Warranty other than damaged or defective components where the damage or defect are found to be unrelated to the overclocking. This exclusion from the terms of this Limited Warranty applies if you specifically request an HP Hardware Product be overclocked beyond HP's recommended limits unless the overclocking of components is done by HP as a part of a specific system design and has not been requested by you. Any damage or defect arising from the overclocking done by HP as a part of its system design will be covered under the terms of this Limited Warranty. HP may or may not choose to overclock a system or its components beyond its advertised specifications, based on the desired system performance without your express request. In such a case, the terms of this Limited Warranty will apply fully to the HP Hardware Product as if not overclocked. 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. UNITS SENT IN FOR SERVICE MAY HAVE THE DATA ERASED FROM THE HARD DRIVE AND THE PROGRAMS RESTORED TO THEIR ORIGINAL STATE. 4
