What will Dell do?  
During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited  
warranties: During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other  
limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded 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.  
84  
Appendix  
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.  
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 30 days after we ship the replacement part to you. If  
we do not receive the original part within 30 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.

storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.

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,

on the packing slip or 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  
packing slip or 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.  
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-847-4096 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 5 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.

Appendix  
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 packing slip or 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 on the packing slip or 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 packing slip or invoice; you are responsible for  
those.  
Appendix  
93  
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.

and address of the customer, and details of symptoms and configuration at the time of  
malfunction, including peripherals and software used. Otherwise, Dell may refuse the  
guarantee claim. Upon diagnosis of a warranted defect, Dell will make arrangements and  
pay for ground freight and insurance to and from Dell’s repair/replacement center. The end  
user must ensure that the defective product is available for collection properly packed in  
original or equally protective packaging together with the details listed above and the return  
number provided to the end user by Dell.

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.

Mexico, call 001-877-533-6230; in Puerto Rico, call 1-877-839-5123. In cases in which either the production of the

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.

Appendix  
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.  
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.  
Appendix  
99  
m
Limited Warranty  
o
Dell warrants that the Software disks will be free from defects in materials and  
l
l
e
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.  
100  
Appendix  
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.
