only in selected countries)
Onsite hardware
support
For hardware incidents that cannot, in HP’s judgment, be resolved remotely,
an HP authorised representative will provide onsite technical support on
covered hardware products to return them to operating condition. For
certain 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.
Once an HP authorised representative arrives at the Customer’s site,
the representative will continue to deliver the service, either onsite or
remotely at the discretion of HP, until the products are repaired. Work
may be temporarily suspended if parts or additional resources are
required, but work will resume when they become available.
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.

Preventive maintenance An HP authorised representative will visit the Customer’s site at
regularly scheduled intervals. For all products other than printers
that require preventive maintenance service, the Customer shall call
HP to request and schedule a preventive maintenance visit at the agreedupon intervals. For all printers that require preventive maintenance service,
the Customer will call HP to schedule the preventive maintenance visits
when the printer displays the respective alert or when the page count is
close to the kit’s yield.
During the visit, the HP authorised representative will determine the level
of checking that will be performed for preventive maintenance services such
as diagnostics, checking error logs on covered systems to find potential
hardware problems and, if necessary, addressing mechanical or electronic
system complaints and cleaning or replacing worn or defective parts or
maintenance items.
The representative may also check for potential problems by inspecting
cables and cable connections or visual status indicators of covered
hardware, checking temperature and humidity levels and comparing
them to vendors’ recommendations, and installing applicable engineering
improvements and firmware updates as required, in the opinion of
HP, to maintain the hardware product. The representative may provide a
final report on the hardware’s condition.

defective media retention service feature.
Data sheet | HP Hardware Support Onsite Service
Call-to-repair 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 Customer’s 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 the ‘General provisions/Other
exclusions’ section.
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 the ‘General
provisions/Other exclusions’ section. 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 call-to-repair times are subject to local
availability. Contact a local HP sales office for more information.
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. At its sole discretion,
HP will determine the level of testing necessary to verify that the hardware
is repaired. At its sole discretion, HP may temporarily or permanently
replace the product in order to meet the repair time commitment.
Replacement products are new or functionally equivalent to new in
performance. Replaced products become the property of HP.
It will take 30 days from the time this service is purchased to set up and
perform necessary audits and processes before the hardware call-to-repair
time commitment is in effect. During this initial 30-day period and for up to
5 additional business days after the audit is completed, HP will provide a
4-hour onsite response time.
Enhanced parts
inventory
management
To support HP call-to-repair time commitments, an inventory of critical
replacement parts is maintained for call-to-repair Customers. This inventory
is stored at an HP designated facility. These parts are managed to allow
for increased inventory availability and are accessible to HP authorised
representatives responding to eligible support requests. Enhanced parts
inventory management is included with selected optional call-to-repair
time commitments.
Accidental damage
protection
For eligible products, specific service levels may be offered with
protection against accidental damage from handling. Where 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 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 pertaining to the accidental damage
protection service feature are detailed in the ‘Service limitations’ section.

Service limitations
At the discretion of HP, service will be provided using a combination of remote diagnosis
and support, services delivered onsite and other service delivery methods. Other service
delivery methods may include the delivery via courier of customer-replaceable parts such as
a keyboard, a mouse or, if agreed by the Customer, other parts classified by HP as Customer
Self Repair (CSR) parts or an entire replacement product. HP will determine the appropriate
delivery method required to provide effective and timely Customer support and meet the
call-to-repair time commitment, if applicable.
If the Customer agrees to the recommended CSR and a CSR part is provided to return the
system to operating condition, the onsite service level shall not apply. In those cases, it
is HP’s practice to express ship CSR parts that are critical to the product operation to the
Customer location. For more details on the CSR process and parts, please refer to
hp.com/go/selfrepair.
An onsite response time will not apply if the service can be delivered using remote diagnosis,
remote support or other service delivery methods described earlier.
If an upfront audit is required by HP, the hardware call-to-repair time commitment will not
take effect until five (5) business days after the audit has been completed. In addition, HP
reserves the right to downgrade service to an onsite response time or cancel the service
contract if critical audit suggestions are not followed or the audit is not performed within the
specified time period.
The following activities or situations will suspend the call-to-repair time calculation
(if applicable) until they are completed or resolved:
•Any Customer or third-party action or inaction impacting the repair process
•Any automated or manual recovery processes triggered by the hardware malfunction, such
as disk mechanism rebuild, sparing procedures,or data integrity protection measures
•Any other activities not specific to the hardware repair but required to verify that the
hardware malfunction has been corrected, such as rebooting the operating system
HP reserves the right to modify the call-to-repair time commitment as it applies to the
Customer’s specific product configuration, location and environment. This is established at the
time of support agreement order and is subject to resource availability.

Data sheet | HP Hardware Support Onsite Service
A call-to-repair time commitment does not apply when the Customer chooses to have
HP prolong diagnosis rather than execute recommended recovery procedures.
If the Customer requests scheduled service, the call-to-repair time period begins at the
agreed-upon scheduled time.
The following activities are excluded from this service:
•Backup, recovery and support of the operating system, other software and data
•Operational testing of applications or additional tests requested or required by
the Customer

Data sheet | HP Hardware Support Onsite Service
For HP commercial and consumer products, accidental damage from handling is limited to
one incident per product per 12-month period commencing from the HP contract service
start date.
Once the specified limit is reached, the cost of repair for any additional claims will be charged
on a time-and-materials basis, but all other aspects of the HP contract service purchased
will remain in effect unless specifically documented otherwise in the country of purchase.
For those Customers with a history of significantly high claims, HP also reserves the
right to deny acceptance of requests to purchase the accidental damage from handling
service feature.
Limitations to the global coverage service feature options:
When the Customer is travelling outside the country of purchase, the described support
services will be provided only if the country/geographic location where the service is
requested and delivered is listed as a participating country/geographic location on a table
accessible at hp.com/services/travel. Services are not available under this agreement in
countries/geographic locations other than those listed in that table. Service may, however,
be provided at a lower service level at some additional locations not listed in that table.
If parts needed for the repair, especially specialised language-specific or country-specific
parts, are not available, the Customer has the following options:
•Postpone the request for the service until the Customer has returned to the country where
the product was originally purchased
Specialised language-specific or country-specific parts such as non-international English
keyboards, non-local-language keyboards or certain localised power supply parts are not
generally available when traveling internationally and are not covered under the terms of
this agreement, except within the boundaries of the country of origin.
Services requested outside the original country of purchase are limited to the base unit only.
Services for external monitors are provided only in the original country of purchase, if this
additional coverage has been purchased. The docking station or port replicator is eligible for

Prerequisites
The Customer must have rightfully acquired the licence for any underlying firmware that will
be covered under these services.
For hardware onsite response time options, HP strongly recommends that the Customer
install and operate the appropriate HP remote support solution, with a secure connection
to HP, in order to enable the delivery of the service. For hardware call-to-repair time
commitments, HP requires that the Customer install and operate the appropriate HP
remote support solution, with a secure connection to HP, in order to enable the delivery
of the service. Please contact a local HP representative for further details on requirements,
specifications and exclusions. If the Customer does not deploy the appropriate HP remote
support solution, HP may not be able to provide the service as defined and is not obligated to
do so. Additional charges will be applied for onsite installation of non-customer-installable
firmware if the Customer does not deploy the appropriate HP remote support solution in
cases where recommended and available. Installation of customer-installable firmware is
the responsibility of the Customer. Additional charges will apply if the Customer requests
that HP install customer-installable firmware and software updates. Any additional charges
to the Customer will be on a time-and-materials basis, unless otherwise previously agreed in
writing by HP and the Customer.
HP, at its sole discretion, may require an audit on the covered products. If such an audit is
required, an HP authorised representative will contact the Customer, and the Customer
will agree to arrange for an audit to be performed within the initial 30-day time period.
During the audit, key system configuration information is collected and an inventory of the
covered products is performed. The information gathered in the audit enables HP to plan
and maintain replacement part inventories at the appropriate level and location, and allows
HP to survey and troubleshoot possible future hardware incidents so that repairs can be
completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. At the sole discretion of HP, the audit may
be performed onsite, via remote system access, via remote audit tools or over the phone.
If an audit is required by HP, it will take 30 days from the time this service is purchased to
set up and perform the audits and processes that must be completed before the hardware
call-to-repair time commitment can be put into effect. The hardware call-to-repair time
commitment will not take effect until five (5) business days after the audit has been
completed. Until such time, service for the covered hardware will be delivered at a
4-hour onsite response time service level.
In addition, HP reserves the right to downgrade service to an onsite response time or cancel
the service contract if critical audit suggestions are not followed or the audit is not performed
within the specified time period, unless the delay is caused by HP.
Customer responsibilities
If the Customer does not act upon the specified Customer responsibilities, at HP’s discretion
HP or the HP authorised service provider will i) not be obligated to deliver the services as
described, or ii) perform such service at the Customer’s expense at the prevailing time and
material rates.
The call-to-repair time commitment is subject to the Customer providing immediate and
unrestricted access to the system, as requested by HP. The call-to-repair time commitment
does not apply when system access, including physical, remote troubleshooting and hardware
diagnostic assessments, is delayed or denied. If the Customer requests scheduled service,
the call-to-repair time period begins at the agreed-upon scheduled time.
For hardware onsite response time options that HP strongly recommends and for hardware
call-to-repair time commitments, the Customer must install the appropriate HP remote
support solution, with a secure connection to HP, and provide all necessary resources
according to the HP remote support solution release notes, in order to enable the delivery
of the service and options. When an HP remote support solution is installed, the Customer
must also maintain the contact details configured in the remote support solution that
HP will use in responding to a device failure. Please contact a local HP representative for
further details on requirements, specifications and exclusions.

Data sheet | HP Hardware Support Onsite Service
The Customer is responsible for registering to use HP’s electronic facility in order to gain
access to restricted product information and to receive proactive notification or other
services available to the Customer.
Upon HP request, the Customer will be required to support HP’s remote problem resolution
efforts. The Customer will:
•Provide all information necessary for HP to deliver timely and professional remote support
and to enable HP to determine the level of support eligibility
•Start self-tests and install and run other diagnostic tools and programs
•Install customer-installable firmware updates and patches
•Perform other reasonable activities to help HP identify or resolve problems, as requested
by HP
The Customer is responsible for installing, in a timely manner, critical customer-installable
firmware updates, as well as CSR parts and replacement products delivered to the Customer.
The Customer agrees to pay additional charges if the Customer requests that HP install
customer-installable firmware updates or patches. Any additional charges to the Customer
will be on a time-and-materials basis, unless otherwise previously agreed in writing by
HP and the Customer.
In cases where CSR parts or replacement products are shipped to resolve a problem, the
Customer is responsible for returning the defective part or product within a time period
designated by HP. In the event that HP does not receive the defective part or product within
the designated time period or if the part or product is degaussed or otherwise physically
damaged upon receipt, the Customer will be required to pay the HP list price for the
defective part or product, as determined by HP.
The Customer is responsible for the security of the Customer’s proprietary and confidential
information. The Customer is responsible for properly sanitising or removing data from
products that may be replaced and returned to HP as part of the repair process to ensure
the safeguarding of the Customer’s data. For more information on Customer responsibilities,
including those outlined in HP’s Media Sanitisation Policy and Media Handling Policy for
Healthcare Customers, go to hp.com/go/mediahandling.
If the Customer chooses to retain repair parts covered under the defective media retention
service feature option, it is the Customer’s responsibility to:
•Retain covered data retentive components that are replaced during support delivery by HP
•Ensure that any Customer sensitive data on the retained component is destroyed or
remains secure
•Have an authorised representative present to retain the defective data retentive component,
accept the replacement component, provide HP with identification information such as the
serial number for each component retained hereunder and, upon HP request, execute a
document provided by HP acknowledging the retention of the data retentive component
•Destroy the retained data retentive component and/or ensure that it is not put into use again
•Dispose of all retained data retentive components in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations
For data retentive components supplied by HP to the Customer as loaner, rental or lease
products, the Customer will promptly return the replacement components at the expiration
or termination of support with HP. The Customer will be solely responsible for removing all
sensitive data before returning any such loaned, rented or leased components or products
to HP, and HP shall not be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality or privacy of any
sensitive data that remains on such components.

Data sheet | HP Hardware Support Onsite Service
For HP Contractual Care Services that include the accidental damage from handling service
feature, it is the Customer’s responsibility to report the accidental damage to HP within 30
days of the incident date so that HP can expedite system repair. HP reserves the right to deny
repair under this coverage programme for damages to systems on which the incident has
been reported more than 30 days after the incident date. If protective items such as covers,
carrying cases or pouches, etc., were provided or made available for use with the covered
product, it is the Customer’s responsibility to continually use these product accessories for
protection against damage to the covered product.
General provisions/Other exclusions
HP will acknowledge a call by logging a case, communicating the case ID to the Customer and
confirming the Customer’s incident severity and time requirements for commencement of
remedial action. Note: For events received via the HP electronic remote support solutions,
HP is required to contact the Customer, determine the incident severity with the Customer
and arrange access to the system before the hardware call-to-repair time or hardware
onsite response time period can start.
Hardware support onsite response time and call-to-repair time commitment may differ
depending on incident severity. The Customer determines the incident severity level.
Incident severity is defined as:
•Severity 1 – Critical Down: for example, production environment down; production system
or production application down/at severe risk; data corruption/loss or risk; business
severely affected; safety issues
•Severity 2 – Critically Degraded: for example, production environment severely impaired;
production system or production application interrupted/compromised; risk of reoccurrence;
significant impact on business
•Severity 3 – Normal: for example, non-production system (e.g., test system) down or
degraded; production system or production application degraded with workaround in place;
non-critical functionality lost; limited impact on the business
•Severity 4 – Low: for example, no business or user impact
Ordering information
For products containing individually sold and supported units or options, all individually sold
and supported units or options must be on contract and at the same service level as the base
product if that service level is available on the units or options.
To qualify for the scheduled onsite response service level, monthly charges for products
covered with this service level at a specific Customer site must exceed a minimum amount.
Scheduled onsite response is available only with a standard-business-hours, standardbusiness-days coverage window; coverage window extensions do not apply.
Coverage windows must be contiguous and must include standard business hours and
standard business days. If coverage is extended to include additional coverage hours or
days, the same coverage hours must be selected for all covered days.
Call-to-repair time commitments are selected in lieu of onsite response times. The Customer
cannot select both an onsite response time and a call-to-repair time commitment for the
same product.
Enhanced parts inventory management is included with selected call-to-repair time
commitments and may not be ordered separately.
HP Hardware Support Onsite is available as a fully configurable service (certain configuration
rules apply, as noted earlier) or can be purchased as a service package with preconfigured
service levels and limited optional choices.
