Compaq 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 material or 
workmanship for thirty (30) days or for the remainder of the 
Limited Warranty Period of the Compaq hardware product in 
which they are installed, whichever is longer. 
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will repair or replace 
the defective component parts or the hardware product. All 
component parts or hardware products removed under this 
Limited Warranty become the property of HP. The 
replacement part or product takes on either the Limited 
Warranty status of the removed part or product or the thirty 
(30) day limited warranty of the spare part. In the unlikely 
event that your Compaq 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 
Compaq branded 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. This is your exclusive remedy for 
defective products. 
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. 
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 
that came with the Compaq branded product. 
This Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable parts. 
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, 
misuse, abuse, 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 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 or HP approved parts if available for your product in the 
servicing country/region. 
These terms and conditions constitute the complete and 
exclusive warranty agreement between you and HP regarding 
the Compaq branded product you have purchased or leased. 
These terms and conditions supersede any prior agreements or 
representations — including representations made in 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 Compaq branded 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. 
Options and Software 
The Limited Warranty terms and conditions for HP options 
are as indicated in the Limited Warranty applicable to HP 
options. HP DOES NOT WARRANTY SOFTWARE 
PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OR 
THE OPERATING SYSTEM PREINSTALLED BY HP. HP’s 
only obligations with respect to software distributed by HP 
under the Compaq brand name are set forth in the applicable 
end-user license or program license agreement. Non-HP 
hardware and software products are provided “AS IS.” 
However, non-HP manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers 
may provide their own warranties to you.
