During the one-year period beginning on the invoice date, Dell will repair or replace products covered under this limited
warranty that are returned to Dell's facility. To request warranty service, you must call Dell's Customer Technical Support
within the warranty period. Refer to "Getting Help" in your
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
to find the appropriate
telephone number for obtaining customer assistance. If warranty service is required, Dell will issue a Return Material
Authorization Number. You must ship the products back to Dell in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping
charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment. Dell will ship the repaired or
replacement products to you freight prepaid if you use an address in Canada, where applicable. Shipments to other locations
will be made freight collect.
Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products. Dell uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in
performing warranty repairs and building replacement products. If Dell repairs or replaces a product, its warranty term is not
extended.
Coverage During Years Two and Three
During the second and third years of this limited warranty, Dell will provide, on an exchange basis and subject to Dell
Exchange Policy in effect on the date of the exchange, replacement parts for the Dell hardware product(s) covered under this
limited warranty when a part requires replacement. You must report each instance of hardware failure to Dell's Customer
Technical Support in advance to obtain Dell's concurrence that a part should be replaced and to have Dell ship the
replacement part. Dell will ship parts (freight prepaid) if you use an address in the continental U.S. or Canada, where
applicable. Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. Dell will include a prepaid shipping container with each
replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to Dell. Replacement parts are new or reconditioned. Dell may
provide replacement parts made by various manufacturers when supplying parts to you. The warranty term for a replacement
part is the remainder of the limited warranty term.
You will pay Dell for replacement parts if the replaced part is not returned to Dell. The process for returning replaced parts,
and your obligation to pay for replacement parts if you do not return the replaced parts to Dell, will be in accordance with Dell's
Exchange Policy in effect on the date of the exchange.
You accept full responsibility for your software and data. Dell is not required to advise or remind you of appropriate backup
and other procedures.
