Limited One-Year Warranty

What Is Covered

The calculator (except for the batteries, or damage caused by the batteries) is warranted by Hewlett-Packard against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of original purchase. If you sell your unit or give it as a gift, the warranty is automatically transferred to the new owner and remains in effect for the original one-year period. During the warranty period, we will repair or, at our option, replace at no charge a product that proves to be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to a Hewlett-Packard service center. (Replacement may be with a newer model of equivalent or better functionality.) This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state, province to province, or country to country.

What Is Not Covered

• Batteries, and damage caused by the batteries, are not covered by the Hewlett-Packard warranty. Check with the battery manufacturer about battery and battery leakage warranties.
• This warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or as a result of service or modification by other than an authorized Hewlett-Packard service center.

• Some states, provinces, or countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
•  IN NO EVENT SHALL HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY BE  LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states, provinces, or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
