144 Limited Warranties and Return Policy
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 on-site service contract is with Dell, on-site service will be provided to you under the
terms of the on-site 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
