Limited Warranties and Return Policy151
Total Satisfaction Return Policy (Canada Only)
If you are an end-user customer who bought new products directly from Dell, you may return 
them to Dell up to 30 days after you receive them for a refund or credit of the product 
purchase price. If you are an end-user customer who bought reconditioned or refurbished 
products from Dell, you may return them to Dell within 14 days after the 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. 
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 Dells Software and Peripherals division. For 
those products, please instead refer to Dells Software and Peripherals 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 Dells 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 manufacturers 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.

one year from the original purchase date. Products for which proper claims are made will, at

name and address of the seller, date of purchase, model and serial number, name 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.
Limitation and Statutory Rights
Dell makes no other warranty, guarantee or like statement other than as explicitly stated 
above, and this Guarantee is given in place of all other guarantees whatsoever, to the fullest 
extent permitted by law. In the absence of applicable legislation, this Guarantee will be the 
end user’s sole and exclusive remedy against Dell or any of its affiliates, and neither Dell nor 
any of its affiliates shall be liable for loss of profit or contracts, or any other indirect or 
consequential loss arising from negligence, breach of contract, or howsoever. 
This Guarantee does not impair or affect mandatory statutory rights of the end user against 
and/or any rights resulting from other contracts concluded by the end user with Dell and/or 
any other seller.
