146 Limited Warranties and Return Policy
"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 "Contacting Dell" on page122 (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.
