Once the Customer has placed and HP has acknowledged the receipt of a call as described in 'General provisions', HP will work during the coverage window to isolate the hardware incident and to remotely troubleshoot, remedy, and resolve the incident with the Customer. Prior to any onsite assistance, HP may initiate and perform remote diagnostics using electronic remote support solutions to access covered products, or HP may use other means available to facilitate remote incident resolution. HP will provide telephone assistance for the installation of customer-installable firmware and Customer Self Repair parts during the service coverage window. Regardless of the Customer's coverage window, incidents with covered hardware can be reported to HP via telephone or Web portal, as locally available, or as an automated equipment reporting event via the HP electronic remote support solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. HP will acknowledge the receipt by logging the call, assigning a case ID, and communicating that case ID to the Customer. HP retains the right to determine the final resolution of all reported incidents. For hardware incidents that cannot, in HP's 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, HP point-of-sale (POS) system peripherals, 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. Replacement products are subject to availability; HP cannot guarantee specific replacement products. Replaced products become the property of HP. Work to completion may not apply to onsite support provided for desktop, mobile, and consumer products. Repair is considered complete upon HP verification that the hardware malfunction has been corrected or that the hardware has been replaced. 'Fix-on-Failure': In addition, at time of onsite technical support delivery, 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 Install available firmware updates defined by HP as non-customer-installable that, in the opinion of HP, are required to return the covered product to operating condition or to maintain supportability by HP and for which the Customer has the required license to use, if applicable 'Fix-on-Request': In addition, HP will install during coverage hours critical firmware updates defined by HP as non-customer-installable at the Customer's request. Critical firmware updates are firmware updates recommended by the HP product division for immediate installation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document or HPs current standard sales terms, HP will, for select enterprise storage arrays and enterprise tape products, cover and replace defective or depleted batteries that are critical to the proper operation of the covered product. |
