Limited Warranties and Return Policy
Dell-branded hardware products purchased in the U.S. or Canada come with either a 90-day, one-year, two-year,
three-year, or four-year limited warranty. To determine which warranty you purchased, see the invoice that
accompanied your hardware product(s). The following sections describe the limited warranties and return policy
for the U.S., the limited warranties and return policy for Canada, and the manufacturer guarantee for Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Limited Warranty for the U.S.
What is covered by this limited warranty?
This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in your—our end-user customer's—Dell-
branded hardware products, including Dell-branded peripheral products.
What is not covered by this limited warranty?
This limited warranty does not cover:
•Software, including the operating system and software added to the Dell-branded hardware products
through our factory-integration system, third-party software, or the reloading of software
•Non-Dell-branded products and accessories
•Problems that result from:
–External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power
–Servicing not authorized by us
–Usage that is not in accordance with product instructions
–Failure to follow the product instructions or failure to perform preventive maintenance
–Problems caused by using accessories, parts, or components not supplied by us
•Products with missing or altered service tags or serial numbers
•Products for which we have not received payment
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). DELL'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCITONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR
AND REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND
IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD
REFLECTED ON YOUR INVOICE. NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL
APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR
PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST SOFTWARE. OUR
LIABILITY WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT THAT IS THE
SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
42Appendix
Page 53
How long does this limited warranty last?
This limited warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your invoice, except that the limited warranty on
Dell-branded batteries lasts only one year and the limited warranty on the lamps for Dell-branded projectors
lasts only ninety days. The limited warranty begins on the date of the invoice. The warranty period is not
extended if we repair or replace a warranted product or any parts. Dell may change the availability of limited
warranties, at its discretion, but any changes will not be retroactive.
What do I do if I need warranty service?
Before the warranty expires, please call us at the relevant number listed in the following table. Please also have
your Dell service tag number or order number available.

What will Dell do?
During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties: For the 90
days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dellbranded hardware products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not
able to repair the product, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your
return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges,
and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the
repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use
an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will
ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and inform you of service
alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other
storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable
media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary,
or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
Appendix43
Page 54
www.dell.com/supplies | support.dell.com
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace any defective part
with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid
credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part
as long as you return the original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do
not receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for
that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S.
possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping
container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage
device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the service agreement.
Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please refer to that
contract for details on how to obtain service.
How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building
replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell,
some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality.
Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you
bought.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive under this
limited warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to resolve issues regarding our limited
warranty is to work together. If, after those discussions, you are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most
expeditious way to resolve your concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR
FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, AND EQUITABLE
CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising from or relating to this limited warranty, its interpretation, or the breach,
termination, or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full
extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase
SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED
BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code of Procedure then in effect (available via
the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/ or via telephone at 1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to
the dispute or controversy between you and Dell. Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each
of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Information may be
obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405. This provision applies
only to individual home consumers and consumers who purchased through an employee purchase program. It does
not apply to small, medium, large, and global commercial customers or government, education, and healthcare
customers.
44Appendix
May I transfer the limited warranty?
Limited warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership of the system and
records the transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded memory may not be transferred. You may
record your transfer by going to Dell's website:

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (U.S. Only)
We value our relationship with you and want to make sure that you're satisfied with your purchases. That's why
we offer a "Total Satisfaction" return policy for most products that you—the end-user customer—purchase
directly from Dell. Under this policy, you may return to Dell products that you purchased directly from Dell for
a credit or a refund of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and applicable restocking fees as
follows:
•New Hardware Products and Accessories— All new hardware, accessories, parts, and unopened software
still in its sealed package, excluding the products listed below, may be returned within thirty days from
the invoice date. To return applications software or an operating system that has been installed by Dell,
you must return the entire computer. A different return policy applies to nondefective products
purchased through Dell's Software and Peripherals division by customers of our Small and Medium
Business divisions. Those products may be returned within thirty days from the invoice date, but a fifteen
percent (15%) restocking fee will be deducted from any refund or credit. The "Total Satisfaction" Return
Policy and Software and Peripherals division return policy are not available for Dell | EMC storage
products, EMC-branded products, or enterprise software.
•Reconditioned or Refurbished Dell-Branded Hardware Products and Parts— All reconditioned or
refurbished Dell-branded server and storage products may be returned within thirty days from the invoice
date. All other reconditioned or refurbished Dell-branded hardware products and parts may be returned
within fourteen days of the invoice date.
To return products, e-mail or call Dell customer service to receive a Credit Return Authorization Number within
the return policy period applicable to the product you want to return. You must obtain a Credit Return
Authorization Number in order to return the product. See your Owner’s Manual (or
www.dell.com/us/en/gen/contact.htm) to find the appropriate contact information for obtaining customer
assistance.
You must ship the products to Dell within five days of the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization
Number. You must also return the products to Dell in their original packaging, in as-new condition along with
any media, documentation, and all other items that were included in the original shipment, prepay shipping
charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.

date of invoice for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. In either case, the refund or credit will not
include any shipping and handling charges shown on your invoice and will be subject to a fifteen percent (15%)
restocking fee, unless otherwise prohibited by law. If you are an organization that bought the products under a
written agreement with Dell, the agreement may contain different terms for the return of products than specified
by this policy.
Page 59
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a Credit Return
Authorization Number. To expedite the process of your refund or credit, Dell expects you to return the products
to Dell in their original packaging within five days of the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization
Number. You must also prepay shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage
during shipment. You may return software for a refund or credit only if the sealed package containing the floppy
disk(s) or CD(s) is unopened. Returned products must be in as-new condition, and all of the manuals, floppy
disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items included with a product must be returned with it. For customers
who want to return, for refund or credit only, either application or operating system software that has been
installed by Dell, the whole system must be returned, along with any media and documentation that may have
been included in the original shipment.
The "Total Satisfaction" Return Policy does not apply to Dell | EMC storage products. It also does not apply to
products purchased through Dell's Software and Peripherals division. For those products, please instead refer to
Dell's Software and Peripheral's then-current return policy (see the following section, "Dell Software and
Peripherals (Canada Only)").
Dell Software and Peripherals (Canada Only)
Third-Party Software and Peripherals Products
Similar to other resellers of software and peripherals, Dell does not warrant third-party products. Third-party
software and peripheral products are covered by the warranties provided by the original manufacturer or
publisher only. Third party manufacturer warranties vary from product to product. Consult your product
documentation for specific warranty information. More information may also be available from the
manufacturer or publisher.
While Dell offers a wide selection of software and peripheral products, we do not specifically test or guarantee
that all of the products we offer work with any or all of the various models of Dell computers, nor do we test or
guarantee all of the products we sell on the hundreds of different brands of computers available today. If you
have questions about compatibility, we recommend and encourage you to contact the third-party software and
peripheral product manufacturer or publisher directly.
Dell-Branded Peripheral Products
Dell does provide a limited warranty for new Dell-branded peripheral products (products for which Dell is listed
as the manufacturer) such as monitors, batteries, memory, docking stations, and projectors). To determine
which limited warranty applies to the product you purchased, see the Dell invoice and/or the product
documentation that accompanied your product. Descriptions of Dell's limited warranties are described in
preceding sections.
Return Policy
If you are an end-user customer who bought Dell Software and Peripherals products directly from a Dell
company, you may return Dell Software and Peripherals products that are in as-new condition to Dell up to 30
days from the date of invoice for a refund of the product purchase price if already paid. This refund will not
include any shipping and handling charges shown on your invoice; you are responsible for those.
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a Credit Return
Authorization Number. You must ship the Dell Software and Peripherals products back to Dell in their original
manufacturer's packaging (which must be in as-new condition), prepay shipping charges, and insure the
shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.
To qualify for refund or replacement, returned products must be in as-new condition, software products must be
unopened, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items included with a product
must be returned with it.

Dell Computer Corporation Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty
(U.S. and Canada Only)
Dell Computer Corporation warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that
they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the cartridge and that for genuine
Dell-branded ink cartridges they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year beginning
on the date of invoice. If this product proves defective in either material or workmanship, it will be replaced
without charge during the limited warranty period if returned to Dell. You must first call our toll-free number to
get your return authorization. In the U.S., call 800-822-8965; in Canada, call 800-387-5757. If we are not able to
replace the product because it has been discontinued or is not available, we will either replace it with a
comparable product or reimburse you for the cartridge purchase cost, at Dell’s sole option. This limited
warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that have been refilled or due to problems resulting from
misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, mishandling, improperly stored, incorrect environments, or wear from ordinary
use.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). DELL’S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO
REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS,
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, DELL
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, FOR THE PRODUCT. FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS, ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS
EXPIRED. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY OR CONDITION LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS
WARRANTY COVERAGE TERMINATES IF YOU SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS PRODUCT
TO ANOTHER PARTY.
DELL DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU
FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST
SOFTWARE. DELL’S LIABILITY WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE
PRODUCT THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH
DELL IS RESPONSIBLE.
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION
OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Binding Arbitration
ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE,
WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW,
INTENTIONAL TORT AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising from or relating to this limited
warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this
limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties), Dell's
advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING
ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code of
Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com, or via telephone at 800-474-2371). The
arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between you and Dell. Any award of the arbitrator(s)
shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Information may be obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis,
MN 55405.
Dell Software License Agreement
This is a legal agreement between you, the user, and Dell Products, L.P ("Dell"). This
agreement covers all software that is distributed with the Dell product, for which there is no
separate license agreement between you and the manufacturer or owner of the software
(collectively the "Software"). By opening or breaking the seal on the Software packet(s),
installing or downloading the Software, or using the Software that has been preloaded or is
embedded in your computer, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you
do not agree to these terms, promptly return all Software items (disks, written materials,
and packaging) and delete any preloaded or embedded Software.
You may use one copy of the Software on only one computer at a time. If you have multiple
licenses for the Software, you may use as many copies at any time as you have licenses.
"Use" means loading the Software in temporary memory or permanent storage on the
computer. Installation on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is not
"use" if (but only if) you have a separate license for each computer to which the Software is
distributed. You must ensure that the number of persons using the Software installed on a
network server does not exceed the number of licenses that you have. If the number of users
of Software installed on a network server will exceed the number of licenses, you must
purchase additional licenses until the number of licenses equals the number of users before
allowing additional users to use the Software. If you are a commercial customer of Dell or a
Dell affiliate, you hereby grant Dell, or an agent selected by Dell, the right to perform an
audit of your use of the Software during normal business hours, you agree to cooperate with
Dell in such audit, and you agree to provide Dell with all records reasonably related to your
use of the Software. The audit will be limited to verification of your compliance with the
terms of this agreement.
52Appendix
Page 63
The Software is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaties. You
may make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes or transfer it to
a single hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes.
You may not rent or lease the Software or copy the written materials accompanying the
Software, but you may transfer the Software and all accompanying materials on a
permanent basis if you retain no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms hereof. Any
transfer must include the most recent update and all prior versions. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software. If the package accompanying your
computer contains compact discs, 3.5" and/or 5.25" disks, you may use only the disks
appropriate for your computer. You may not use the disks on another computer or
network, or loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another user except as permitted by this
agreement.
Limited Warranty
Dell warrants that the Software disks will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use for ninety (90) days from the date you receive them. This
warranty is limited to you and is not transferable. Any implied warranties are limited to
ninety (90) days from the date you receive the Software. Some jurisdictions do not allow
limits on the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you.
The entire liability of Dell and its suppliers, and your exclusive remedy, shall be (a) return
of the price paid for the Software or (b) replacement of any disk not meeting this
warranty that is sent with a return authorization number to Dell, at your cost and risk.
This limited warranty is void if any disk damage has resulted from accident, abuse,
misapplication, or service or modification by someone other than Dell. Any replacement
disk is warranted for the remaining original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever
is longer.
Dell does NOT warrant that the functions of the Software will meet your requirements or
that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free. You assume
responsibility for selecting the Software to achieve your intended results and for the use
and results obtained from the Software.
DELL, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FOR THE SOFTWARE AND ALL ACCOMPANYING
WRITTEN MATERIALS. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may
have others, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

IN NO EVENT SHALL DELL OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS
INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. Because some jurisdictions do not allow an exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
U.S. Government Restricted Rights
The software and documentation are "commercial items" as that term is defined at 48
C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer
software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48
C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users
acquire the software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein.
Contractor/manufacturer is Dell Products, L.P., One Dell Way, Round Rock, Texas 78682.
General
This license is effective until terminated. It will terminate upon the conditions set forth
above or if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you agree that the
Software and accompanying materials, and all copies thereof, will be destroyed. This
agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Each provision of this agreement is
severable. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, this finding does not affect the
enforceability of the remaining provisions, terms, or conditions of this agreement. This
agreement is binding on successors and assigns. Dell agrees and you agree to waive, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial with respect to the Software or
this agreement. Because this waiver may not be effective in some jurisdictions, this waiver
may not apply to you. You acknowledge that you have read this agreement, that you
understand it, that you agree to be bound by its terms, and that this is the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement between you and Dell regarding the Software.
