Extended Warranty Options

English

If you would like to extend your printer coverage beyond the limited warranty period, you have the following options:

Consult your reseller to get extended

coverage.

If your reseller does not offer service contracts,

please call HP directly and ask about our HP Service Agreements. In the U.S., call (800) 446-0522; in Canada, call (800) 268-1221. For HP Service Agreements outside the U.S. and Canada, contact your local HP Sales Office.

After the Free Phone Support Period

You can still get help from HP for a fee. Prices are subject to change without notice. HP Customer Care Online help (page 16) on the Internet is still available for free!

HP Customer Care Repair

If your HP printer is ever in need of repair, simply call the HP Customer Care Center. A trained service technician will diagnose the problem and coordinate the repair process for you. This service is free during your printers standard warranty. Beyond the warranty period, repairs are charged on a time and materials basis.

For quick questions in the United States only,

call (900) 555-1500. The charges are $2.50 per minute and will not exceed $25.

For calls from Canada, or for calls in the U.S.

that you anticipate might be longer than ten minutes in length, call (800) 999-1148. The fee is US $25 per call, charged to your Visa or MasterCard.

If, during your phone call, it is determined

that your printer requires repair, or that your print cartridge is defective, and you are within your printers Limited Warranty period (see page 24), you will not be charged for the phone support service. However, for countries where the above toll-free phone numbers are not available, the regular long-distance charges may apply.

More About Your Printer

Uninstalling the Printer Software
If you need to uninstall the printer driver for your HP DeskJet printer for any reason, perform one of the steps listed for your operating system. If something unexpected happened during installation, it is safest to run the uninstall utility directly from the CD rather than from the uninstall program that was installed on your hard drive.

Print Cartridges
The Tri-Color print cartridge is the standard cartridge for the HP DeskJet 630C Series printer. The Black print cartridge and the HP Photo cartridge are optional cartridges for this printer. When buying replacement print cartridges, check the part numbers carefully so that you buy the correct print cartridge for your printer. The following table shows the correct part number and easy selection number for your printer model.

B. Limitations of Warranty
1. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, NEITHER HP NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE HP PRODUCTS, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

A. Extent of Limited Warranty

1. Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants to the end-user customer that the HP products specified above will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of purchase by the customer. Customer is responsible for maintaining proof of date of purchase. For software products, HPs limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any product will be uninterrupted or error free. HPs limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the product, and do not apply to any: a. Improper or inadequate maintenance or modification; b. Software, interfacing, media, parts, or supplies not provided or supported by HP; or c. Operation outside the products specifications. For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP ink cartridge or a refilled ink cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if printer failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled ink cartridge, HP will charge its standard time and materials charges to service the printer for the particular failure or damage. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any software, media, or ink cartridge product which is covered by HPs warranty, HP shall replace the defective product. If HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any hardware product which is covered by HPs warranty, HP shall either repair or replace the defective product, at HPs option. If HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective product which is covered by HPs warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the product. HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the customer returns the defective product to HP. Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the product being replaced. HPs limited warranty is valid in any country where the covered HP product is distributed by HP except for the Middle-East, Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and Frances Departments dOutre-Mer; for those excepted areas, the warranty is valid only in the country of purchase. Contracts for additional warranty services, such as on-site service, may be available from any authorized HP service facility in countries where the product is distributed by HP or by an authorized importer.

C. Limitations of Liability
1. To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies provided in this Warranty Statement are the customers sole and exclusive remedies. 2. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, EXCEPT FOR THE OBLIGATIONS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL HP OR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

2.

3.

D. Local Law
1. This Warranty Statement gives the customer specific legal rights. The customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world. 2. To the extent that this Warranty Statement is inconsistent with local law, this Warranty Statement shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law, certain disclaimers and limitations of this Warranty Statement may not apply to the customer. For example, some states in the United States, as well as some governments outside the United States (including provinces in Canada), may: a. Preclude the disclaimers and limitations in this Warranty Statement from limiting the statutory rights of a consumer (e.g., the United Kingdom); b. Otherwise restrict the ability of a manufacturer to enforce such disclaimers or limitations; or c. Grant the customer additional warranty rights, specify the duration of implied warranties which the manufacturer cannot disclaim, or not allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties. 3. FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, THE TERMS IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY, AND ARE IN ADDITION TO, THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF HP PRODUCTS TO SUCH CUSTOMERS.
