NOTE: If you chose one of the available warranty and service options in place of the standard three-year limited warranty described in the preceding text, the option you chose will be listed on your invoice. Dell Computer Corporation ("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 one year as of 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 1-22 Dell Inspiron 5000 Port Replicator User's Guide
