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's 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.
