HP printer limited warranty statement

date printed on the cartridge has been reached, whichever occurs first. This warranty does not cover HP ink products that have

Accessories| 1 year unless otherwise stated

A. Extent of limited warranty

1. This HP Limited Warranty applies only to HP branded products sold or leased a) from HP Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates, authorized resellers, authorized distributors, or country distributors; b) with this HP Limited Warranty.

2. HP Inc. (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products specified above will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified above (the “Limited Warranty Period”), which Limited Warranty Period begins on the date when the HP Hardware Product is first detected during its initial boot, which date is known as the “first start date.” Alternatively, if the HP Hardware Product is not detected at that time, the Limited Warranty Period shall start on the latter of the date of purchase or lease from HP or from the HP or, if applicable, the HP authorized service provider completes the installation.

3. For software products, HP’s limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any product will be interrupted or error-free.

4. HP’s limited warranty covers only those defects that arise as a result of normal use of the product and does not cover any other problems, including those that arise as a result of:
   a. Improper maintenance or modification;
   b. Software, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP;
   c. Operation outside the product’s specifications;
   d. Unauthorized modification or misuse.

5. HP’s limited warranty is void in the event the printer is attached to an aftermarket apparatus or system that modifies the printer’s functionality such as a continuous ink system.

6. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP cartridge or a refilled cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled cartridge or an expired ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage.

7. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the product, at HP’s option.

8. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HP’s warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product.

9. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer returns the defective product to HP.

10. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new products of similar functionality as the product being replaced.

11. HP products may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.

12. HP’s Limited Warranty Statement is valid in any country where the covered HP product is distributed by HP. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer.

B. Limitations of warranty

2. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
