What will Dell do?
During the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other
limited warranties: For the first 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.
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.
Hinweis: 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 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.
