HP StorageWorks Division (SWD) Global Limited Warranty and Technical Support (For HP storage products purchased on or after September 14, 2009)

All non-HP products or non-HP branded peripherals external to the HP Hardware Product—such as external storage subsystems,
displays, printers and other peripherals—are provided “AS IS” without HP warranty. However, non-HP manufacturers and
suppliers or publishers may provide their own warranties directly to you.
HP warrants that the HP Hardware Products that you have purchased or leased from HP are free from defects in materials or
workmanship under normal use during the Limited Warranty Period. The Limited Warranty Period starts on the date of purchase
or lease from HP, or from the date HP completes installation. Your dated sales or delivery receipt, showing the date of purchase
or lease of the product, is your proof of the purchase or lease date. You may be required to provide proof of purchase or lease
as a condition of receiving warranty service. You are entitled to hardware warranty service according to the terms and conditions
of this document if a repair to your HP Hardware Product is required within the Limited Warranty Period.
Unless otherwise stated, and to the extent permitted by local law, new HP Hardware Products may be manufactured using
new materials or new and used materials equivalent to new in performance and reliability. HP may repair or replace HP
Hardware Products (a) with new or previously used products or parts equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (b)
with equivalent products to an original product that has been discontinued. Replacement parts are warranted to be free from
defects in material or workmanship for ninety (90) days or, for the remainder of the Limited Warranty Period of the HP Hardware
Product they are replacing or in which they are installed, whichever is longer.
During the Limited Warranty Period, HP will, at its discretion, repair or replace any defective component. All component parts
or hardware products removed under this Limited Warranty become the property of HP. In the unlikely event that your HP
Hardware Product has recurring failures, HP, at its sole discretion, may elect to provide you with (a) a replacement unit of HP’s
choosing that is the same or equivalent to your HP Hardware Product in performance or (b) to give you a refund of your purchase
price or lease payments (less interest) instead of a replacement. This is your exclusive remedy for defective products.
