following provisions that its branded hardware products, purchased by the end user from a
Dell company or an authorized Dell distributor in Latin America or the Caribbean, will be
free from defects in materials, workmanship, and design affecting normal use, for a period of
1 year from the original purchase date. Products for which proper claims are made will, at
Dell’s option, be repaired or replaced at Dell’s expense. Dell owns all parts removed from
repaired products. Dell uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in
performing repairs and building replacement products.
Exclusions
This Guarantee does not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate
installation, use, or maintenance; actions or modifications by unauthorized third parties or
the end user; accidental or willful damage; or normal wear and tear.
Making a Claim
Claims must be made in Latin America or the Caribbean by contacting the Dell point of sale
within the guarantee period. The end user must always supply proof of purchase, indicating
name and address of the seller, date of purchase, model and serial number, name and address
of the customer, and details of symptoms and configuration at the time of malfunction,
including peripherals and software used. Otherwise, Dell may refuse the guarantee claim.
Upon diagnosis of a warranted defect, Dell will make arrangements and pay for ground
freight and insurance to and from Dell’s repair/replacement center. The end user must
ensure that the defective product is available for collection properly packed in original or
equally protective packaging together with the details listed above and the return number
provided to the end user by Dell.
