You must notify Dell within 30 days of the date of your invoice or acknowledgement if you believe any part of your purchase is missing, wrong or damaged. Unless you provide Dell with a valid and correct tax exemption certificate applicable to your purchase of Product and the Product ship-to location, you are responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order. Shipping dates are estimates only. Title to software will remain with the applicable licensor(s).

Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the Arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

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 packing slip or invoice and/or the product documentation that accompanied your product. Descriptions of Dell's limited warranties are described in preceding sections.
1-Year End-User Manufacturer Guarantee (Latin America and
the Caribbean Only)
Guarantee
Dell Inc. ("Dell") warrants to the end user in accordance with the 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.
Limitation and Statutory Rights
Dell makes no other warranty, guarantee or like statement other than as explicitly stated above, and this Guarantee is given in place of all other guarantees whatsoever, to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the absence of applicable legislation, this Guarantee will be the end user's sole and exclusive remedy against Dell or any of its affiliates, and neither Dell nor any of its affiliates shall be liable for loss of profit or contracts, or any other indirect or consequential loss arising from negligence, breach of contract, or howsoever.
This Guarantee does not impair or affect mandatory statutory rights of the end user against and/or any rights resulting from other contracts concluded by the end user with Dell and/or any other seller.

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures
other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to
shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and
South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea
(also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Always be sure that your monitor is
electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
NOTE: This monitor does not need or have a voltage
selection switch for setting the AC voltage input.
It will automatically accept any AC input voltage according to the ranges defined in the
Electrical Specifications" section.
Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations that are exposed to
heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
Avoid moving the LCD monitor between locations with large temperature
differences.
Do not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact
conditions. For example, do not place the LCD monitor inside a car trunk.
Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to high
humidity or dusty environment.
Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the LCD monitor.
Keep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold
or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the
display.
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor
openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of
the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.
Never use your monitor if the power cable has been
damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power
cable away from where people could trip over it.
Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when
disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or
covered. Avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface,
as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet.
If you place the monitor in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation and air flow.
Place your monitor in a location with low humidity
and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near
water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally
gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can
clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, being sure to unplug the
monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it
carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit
sharply.
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.
If your monitor does not operate normally - in
particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug
it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be removed by qualified service personnel.
High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your
monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces,
and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused
for an extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
Hg Lamp(s) inside this product contains mercury and
must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state or federal laws.

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. With the growing manufacture and usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the environment can be minimized.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint of carbon dioxide emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.
What does labelling involve?
The product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers and/or displays. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: ecology, ergonomics, emission of electrical and magnetical fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.
Ecological criteria impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, and other substances. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturing site(s) shall be certified according to ISO14001 or EMAS registered.
Energy requirements include a demand that the system unit and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the system unit shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electrical and magnetical fields as well as work load and visual ergonomics.
Below you will find a brief summary of the ecological requirements met by this product. The complete ecological criteria document can be found at TCO Development's website http://www.tcodevelopment.com or may be ordered from:

Ecological requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants may be present in printed wiring board laminates, cables, and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% by weight of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Many flame retardants contain bromine or chlorine, and these flame retardants are chemically related to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chlorine and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes when not disposed of in accordance with strict standards for disposal.
TCO'99 requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams shall not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed wiring board laminates due to the lack of commercially available alternatives.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. TCO'99 requires that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens, and the electrical or electronics components shall not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. TCO'99 requires that batteries shall not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. TCO'99 permits the use of lead due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but in future requirements TCO Development aims at restricting the use of lead.
