Coverage During Years Two and Three
During the second and third years of this limited war-
ranty, Dell will provide, on an exchange basis,
replacement parts for the Dell hardware product(s) cov-
ered 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 using next-business-day delivery, shipping
prepaid if you use an address in the continental U.S.
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 war-
ranty 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 within 30 days after the date
the replacement part was shipped by Dell and for parts
used to repair systems not covered by this limited war-
ranty. In these events, replacement parts will be priced at
Dell’s then-current standard prices. Payment for these
parts is due within 30 days from the date of invoice.
NOTE: You accept full responsibility for your software
and data. Dell is not required to advise or remind you of
appropriate backup and other procedures.
