media.
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

part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part
to us within 30 days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the original

service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.

please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
58Appendix

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. Dell owns
all parts removed from repaired products.
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:
If you do not have Internet access, call your customer care representative or call 1-800-624-9897.

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 return fees as follows:

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 contract. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service. Dell's service
contracts can be found online at www.dell.ca or by calling Customer Care at 1-800-847-4096. If
you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please
refer to that contract (mailed to you with your packing slip or invoice) 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. Dell owns
all parts removed from repaired products.
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:

Dell Inc. Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited
Warranties
The following sections describe the limited warranty for ink and toner cartridges for the U.S., Canada, and Latin
America. Refer to the appropriate limited warranty accordingly.
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (U.S. and Canada Only)
Dell Inc. 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 two years 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
1-800-822-8965; in Canada, call 1-800-387-5757. 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 improperly stored or due to problems resulting from misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, mishandling, 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 LIABILITY 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.
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (Latin America Only)
Dell Inc. warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that the cartridges will be free from
defects resulting from material or manufacturing process for the life of the cartridge. For the original purchaser of
genuine Dell-branded ink cartridges, Dell warrants that the cartridges will be free from defects resulting from material or
manufacturing process for one year beginning from the date of delivery.
Appendix69
Page 70
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
If this product presents defects resulting from either material or manufacturing process, it will be replaced without
charge during the limited warranty period if returned to Dell.
In order to obtain the necessary information to enable the replacement, call the appropriate toll-free number. In Mexico,
call 001-877-533-6230; in Puerto Rico, call 1-877-839-5123. In cases in which either the production of the cartridge has
been discontinued or the cartridge is not available, Dell reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to choose between
replacing it by a similar product or reimbursing you for the purchase cost.
This limited warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that have been refilled or to defects resulting from
misuse, abuse, accident, negligence, mishandling, improper storage or exposure to inappropriate environments.
Dell’s liability for the malfunction or defect of hardware after the period of the legal warranty (and specifically the
period of the legal warranty of defective products stated in the consumer protections rules), is limited to either the
substitution of the product or the reimbursement as stated above. This warranty coverage terminates if you sell or
otherwise transfer this product to a third party.
Dell does not accept any additional liability for patrimonial, emotional or any other kind of damage caused to the
consumer and/or to a third party, which exceeds the established liability either in this limited warranty or in legal rules
that may apply.
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.
70Appendix
Page 71
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.
Appendix71

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.

Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or
other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio
communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM
commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal
Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators
such as digital devices, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this device has been designed
and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•Reorient the receiving antenna.
•Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.
•Move the device away from the receiver.
•Plug the device into a different outlet so that the device and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.
