| 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. |
