| Coverage |
HP Hardware Support Onsite Service provides coverage for HP or Compaq branded hardware products and all HP-supplied internal components (such as HP Jetdirect cards, memory, and CD-ROMs), as well as attached HP or Compaq branded accessories purchased together with the main product, such as mouse, keyboard, docking station, and external monitors of 22'' or less. For some servers and storage products, CPUs, disks, and other major internal and external components will be covered if support has been configured accordingly and they are listed in the contract's equipment list (if applicable). For HP Care Pack Services with ''desktop/workstation/thin client/notebook-only'' coverage, external monitors and docking stations will not be covered under the service. Coverage for eligible multivendor systems includes all standard vendor-supplied internal components and the external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Consumable items including, but not limited to, batteries and Tablet PC pens, maintenance kits, and other supplies, as well as user maintenance and non-HP devices, are not covered by this service. |
| Service Features |
Once the Customer has placed a service request via a designated HP support telephone number, HP will work with the Customer during the coverage window to isolate the hardware problem and to remotely troubleshoot, remedy, and resolve the problem with the Customer. Prior to any onsite assistance, HP may initiate and perform remote diagnostics using electronic remote support tools (where avail.) to access covered products, or HP may use other means available to facilitate remote problem resolution. Where necessary, onsite assistance will be provided by an authorized HP Represenative. Regardless of the Customer's coverage window, problems with covered hardware can be reported to the HP Solution Center via telephone or electronically, as locally available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. HP will acknowledge the receipt of the service request and notify the local HP field office at the next coverage window. HP retains the right to determine the final resolution of all reported problems. Onsite response times or call-to-repair times, as applicable, for service requests submitted electronically or outside of the coverage window may vary. For technical hardware issues that cannot, in the HP judgment, be resolved remotely, an HP authorized representative will provide onsite technical support on covered hardware products to return them to operating condition. For certain printers, PCs, ProLiant servers, Intel Pentium- and Xeon processor-based servers, and networking and storage products, HP may, at its sole discretion, elect to replace such products in lieu of repairing them. Replacement products are new or functionally equivalent to new in performance. Replaced products become the property of HP. In addition, HP may install available engineering improvements to help the Customer ensure proper operation of the hardware products and maintain compatibility with HP-supplied hardware replacement parts. |

HP will determine the appropriate delivery method required to provide effective and timely Customer support.

It does not apply to any exchange of disk drives that have not failed. |
| Travel Zone |
All response times apply only to sites located within 100 miles or 160km of an HP designated support hub. Travel to U.S. sites located within 200 miles (320 km) of an HP designated support hub is provided at no additional charge. If the site is located more than 200 miles (320 km) from the HP designated support hub, response times will be adjusted and additional travel charges may apply. For travel to Canadian sites outside the 160 km radius of an HP designated support hub, response times will be adjusted and additional travel charges will be applied. Travel charges will also apply for any site that requires overnight lodging, non-automobile mode of transportation (i.e., airplane), or extraordinary travel circumstances. |
| Optional Service Features - Defective media retention |
For eligible products, this service feature option allows the Customer to retain defective hard disk drive components that the Customer does not want to relinquish due to sensitive data contained within the disk (''Disk Drive'') covered under this service. All Disk Drives on a covered system must participate in the defective media retention. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document or the HP Single Order Terms for Support, HP waives the right to take possession and title of a defective Disk 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 Drives supported by HP under the HP support agreement. |
| Optional Service Features - Desktop/Workstation/Thin client/Notebook-only coverage |
For eligible PC products, the Customer may choose desktop/workstation/thin client/notebook-only coverage. HP Care Pack Services with this coverage do not extend the specified service level to the external monitor or docking station. |
| Optional Service Features - Page allowance |
Some printer products may be available with a maximum page allowance. Page count for any given printer is defined as the number of standard pages (printed or plain) that have passed through such printers print engine, as recorded on the test page. Different paper sizes and print options may be associated with different standard page equivalent values in order to calculate the page count. For printers that require HP installation, the contract term begins on the date of installation of such printers at the Customer site. Where page allowances apply, the support coverage ends when either the end of the contract term has been reached or the page count has exceeded the maximum page allowance, whichever occurs first. Should the Customer exceed the maximum page allowance before the end of the contract term, any further services provided during the contract term will be billed at HP's then-current time and materials rate, unless another Care Pack has been purchased by the time the services are provided. |
| Service Level Options - 4-hour response, standard business hours (9x5) |
Service is available during the coverage window, 9 hours per day, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday excluding HP holidays. An HP authorized representative will arrive at the Customer's site during the coverage window to begin hardware maintenance service within 4 hours of the service request being logged. The 4-hour response time is measured during the coverage window only. For service requests received after 1:00 p.m. local time, the response time may be carried over to the next coverage window. |
