SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT OR
LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY FOR
PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE OR FOR LOST DATA
OR SOFTWARE.
SOME STATES (OR JURISDICTIONS) DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR

These provisions apply to Dell’s one-year limited warranty only. For
provisions of any service contract covering your system, refer to your invoice
or the separate service contract that you will receive.
If Dell elects to exchange a product or portion of a product, the exchange
will be made in accordance with Dell’s Exchange Policy in effect on the date
of the exchange. In any instance in which Dell issues a Return Material
Authorization Number, Dell must receive the product(s) for repair prior to
the expiration of the warranty period in order for the repair(s) to be covered
by the limited warranty.
Three-Year Limited Warranty (U.S. Only)
Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell") manufactures its hardware products

it manufactures will be free from defects in materials and workmanship.

described in the following text.
Damage due to shipping the products to you is covered under this limited
warranty. Otherwise, this limited warranty does not cover damage due to
external causes, including accident, abuse, misuse, problems with electrical
power, servicing not authorized by Dell, usage not in accordance with
product instructions, failure to perform required preventive maintenance,
and problems caused by use of parts and components not supplied by Dell.
