"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy
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 Dell's Software and Peripherals division. For
those products, please instead refer to Dell's Software and Peripheral's 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 Dell's 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.
