HP ProLiant and IA-32 Servers and Options (326132_NA_US)

This Limited Warranty extends only to the original end-user purchaser or lessee of this HP Hardware
Product and is not transferable to anyone who obtains ownership of the HP Hardware Product from the
original end-user purchaser or lessee.
HP products are manufactured using new materials or new and used materials equivalent to new in
performance and reliability. Spare parts may be new or equivalent to new. Spare parts are warranted to be
free from defects in materials or workmanship for the remainder of the Limited Warranty Period of the
HP hardware product in which they are initially installed, but not less than thirty (30) days, whichever is
longer. HP is not responsible for any interoperability or compatibility issues that may arise when
spares intended for one system are installed in another system of different make or model.
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will repair or replace any defective component. This is your
exclusive remedy for defective products. In the unlikely event that your HP product has a recurring
failure, HP, at its discretion, may elect to provide you with a replacement unit of HP’s choosing that is at
least equivalent to your HP Hardware Product in hardware performance. HP reserves the right to elect, at
its sole discretion, to give you a refund of your purchase price or lease payments (less interest) instead of
a replacement. All component parts or hardware products removed under this Limited Warranty become
the property of HP. The replacement part or product takes on the remaining Limited Warranty status of
the removed part or product, or the thirty (30) day limited warranty of the replacement part as stated
above.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable parts, nor does it apply to any products which are
not HP branded. HP does not warrant any third party products even if included with other HP Hardware
Products. Furthermore, HP provides all such third party products “AS IS”. However, the original
manufacturers or suppliers may provide their own warranties as specified in the documentation
accompanying such third party products.
These terms and conditions constitute the complete and exclusive warranty agreement between you and
HP regarding the HP Hardware Product you have purchased or leased. These terms and conditions
supersede any prior agreements or representations—including representations made in HP sales literature
or advice given to you by HP or an agent or employee of HP—that may have been made in connection
with your purchase or lease of the HP Hardware Product. No change to the conditions of this Limited
Warranty is valid unless it is made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of HP.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY 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, INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, MISUSE,
NEGLIGENCE, ABUSE, IMPROPER SITE PREPARATION, OR OTHER EXTERNAL CAUSES;
(B) BY OPERATION OUTSIDE THE USAGE PARAMETERS STATED IN THE USER
DOCUMENTATION THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT; (C) BY THE USE OF SOFTWARE,
INTERFACING, OR PARTS NOT MANUFACTURED OR SOLD BY HP; OR (D) BY
MODIFICATION OR SERVICE BY ANYONE OTHER THAN (I) HP, (II) AN HP AUTHORIZED
SERVICE PROVIDER, OR (III) YOUR OWN INSTALLATION OF END-USER REPLACEABLE HP
PARTS OR HP APPROVED PARTS IF AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PRODUCT IN THE SERVICING
COUNTRY. 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 FOR THE HP
HARDWARE PRODUCT.
