HP IQ504 Warranty and Support Guide - Page 6

Limited Warranty Period The Limited Warranty Period for an HP Hardware Product is a specified, fixed period commencing on the date of purchase. The date on your sales receipt is the date of purchase unless HP or your reseller informs you otherwise in writing. Types of Warranty Service To enable HP to provide the best possible support and service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests, or use HP remote support solutions where applicable. HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of or to employ available support technologies provided by HP. If you choose not to deploy available remote support capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of warranty support service that may be applicable to the HP Hardware Product you have purchased. On-site Warranty Service Your HP Limited Warranty service may include on-site labor support to repair your hardware. HP provides on-site service during standard office hours. Standard office hours are typically 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 50km), response times may be longer or there may be additional charges. To locate the nearest HP authorized service provider, refer to the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/support HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if on-site warranty service is required. For example, in many cases, the defect can be fixed by the use of a Customer Self Repair (CSR) part that you are required to replace yourself based on instructions and documentation provided by HP. You are also required to co-operate with HP in attempting to resolve the problem over the telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic procedures, installing software updates or patches, removing third-party options and/or substituting options. In order to receive on-site support, you must: (a) have a representative present when HP provides warranty services at your site; (b) notify HP if products are being used in an environment which poses a potential health or safety hazard to HP employees or subcontractors; (c) subject to its reasonable security requirements, provide HP with sufficient, free, and safe access to and use of all facilities, information and systems determined necessary by HP to provide timely support; (d) ensure that all manufacturer's labels (such as serial numbers) are in place, accessible, and legible; (e) maintain an environment consistent with product specifications and supported configurations. If you require an HP representative to handle all component replacements, support uplift contracts are available at additional cost. 6 Carry-in Warranty Service Under the terms of carry-in service, you will be required to deliver your HP Hardware Product to an authorized service location for warranty repair. You must prepay any shipping charges, taxes, or duties associated with transportation of the product to and from the service location. In addition, you are responsible for insuring any product shipped or returned to an authorized service location and assume risk of loss during shipping. Mail-in Warranty Service Your HP Limited Warranty may include a mail-in warranty service. Under the terms of mail-in service, you will be required to ship your HP Hardware Product to an authorized service location for warranty repair. You must prepay any shipping charges, taxes, or duties associated with transportation of the product to the repair location. In addition, you are responsible for insuring any product you ship and assume risk of loss during shipping. HP will return the repaired product to you and incur all logistics and insurance costs to return the product to you. Customer Self Repair Warranty Service In countries/regions where it is available, your HP Limited Warranty may include a customer self repair warranty service. If applicable, HP will determine in its sole discretion that customer self repair is the appropriate method of warranty service. If so, HP will ship approved replacement parts directly to you to fulfill your HP Hardware Product warranty service. This will save considerable repair time. After you contact HP and the fault diagnosis identifies that the problem can be fixed using one of these parts, a replaceable part can be sent directly to you. Once the part arrives, replace the defective part pursuant to the provided instructions and documentation. If further assistance is required, call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will assist you over the phone. In cases where the replacement part must be returned to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally fifteen (15) days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective product may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used. If customer self repair applies to you, please refer to your specific HP Hardware Product announcement.
