The one year starts when the ORIGINAL purchaser buys it.
That includes resellers like Calculators.com, Office Max and Staples.
If you buy a new, sealed calculator off the shelf and it's been
on the shelf for three months, you'd get a 9-month warranty.

Well, this is certainly *not* true for the European Union. The
warranty starts when the end-customer finally buys the calculator and
it is 2 years by European law.
So a calculator that has been sitting on the shelf for a year still
has a 2 year warranty when it is finaly bought.

And authorized resellers in USA
(which you can find directly from HP site);
no doubt Amazon and other comparable web sellers too
(including commerce.hpcalc.org, I would expect).

Only if you don't have the original purchase receipt...
