| Optional Service Features - Accidental damage protection |
For eligible products, specific service levels may be offered with protection against accidental damage from handling. When accidental damage protection applies, the Customer receives protection against accidental damage from handling to the covered hardware product as part of this service. Accidental damage from handling is defined as physical damage to a product caused by or resulting from a sudden and unforeseen incident, provided such damage occurs in the course of regular use. Covered perils include non-intentional liquid spills in or on the unit, drops, falls, and electrical surge, as well as damaged or broken liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and broken parts. Additional details and exclusions to the accidental damage protection service feature are detailed in the 'Service limitations' section. |
| Optional Service Features - Call-to-repair (CTR) time commitment for hardware support |
A call-to-repair time commitment may be selected for eligible products in lieu of an onsite response time. For critical incidents (severity 1 or 2) with covered hardware that cannot be resolved remotely, HP will use commercially reasonable efforts to return the covered hardware to operating condition within the specified call-to-repair time commitment. For noncritical incidents (severity 3 or 4), or at the Customers request, HP will work with the Customer to schedule an agreed-upon time for the remedial action to commence, and the call-to-repair time commitment will then start at that time. Incident severity levels are defined in General Provisions. Call-to-repair time refers to the period of time that begins when the initial call has been received and acknowledged by HP, as specified in General Provisions." Call-to-repair time ends with HP's determination that the hardware is repaired or when the reported event is closed with the explanation that HP has determined it does not currently require onsite intervention. Call-to-repair times are measured during the coverage window only and may be carried over to the next day for which there exists a coverage window. Call-to-repair time options available for eligible products are specified in the service-level options table. All CTR times are subject to local availability. Contact a local HP sales office for more info. Repair is considered complete upon HP verification that the hardware malfunction has been corrected or that the hardware has been replaced. HP is not liable for any lost data, and the Customer is responsible for implementing appropriate backup procedures. Verification by HP may be accomplished by the completion of a power-on self-test, standalone diagnostic or visual verification of proper operation. |
| Optional Service Features - Comprehensive defective material retention |
In addition to defective media retention, this service feature option allows the Customer to retain additional components that have been designated by HP as having data retentive capabilities, such as memory modules.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document or HPs current standard sales terms, HP waives the right to take possession and title of a defective Disk or SSD/Flash Drive covered by the defective media retention service feature option in the event a replacement product is delivered by HP to the Customer. The Customer will retain all defective Disk or SSD/Flash Drives supported by HP under the HP support agreement and the Customer remains fully responsible for the protection and privacy of the data residing on the defective Disk or SSD/Flash Drive. |
| Optional Service Features - Enhanced parts inventory management (included with call-to-repair time commitment) |
