Warranty Service
The GMCSC will assist in problem diagnosis as part of the standard Product warranty service during standard office hours which are typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., local time, Monday through Friday, excluding local HP holidays.
If HP’s problem diagnosis dictates, HP will ship replacement Hardware or parts thereof for customer self repair (“CSR”). Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same-day or four-hour delivery is offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If Customer requires assistance to replace a CSR part, Customer may call the GMCSC for telephone support.
In the materials shipped with the CSR part, HP specifies whether the defective part must be returned to HP and provides shipping material to do so. If such return is required, Customer must ship the defective part to HP in the provided shipping material and within the period of time defined in the materials, normally five (5) business days. HP will determine the courier/carrier to be used and pay all shipping and part return costs.
If HP determines that on-site warranty service is needed, the response time will typically be scheduled for the next business day during standard office hours but may vary with local business practices. If such on-site service is at Customer request, Customer will be charged for the travel and labor costs.
In the course of providing warranty service, remanufactured parts which are equivalent to new in performance may be used.
Subject to Customer’s use of ISEE, HP will provide available Software patches, fixes and/or workarounds during the warranty period.
Warranty service also includes access to applicable Web-based tools and services.
