The parties acknowledge having read and agree to be bound by such online terms.

This installation and deployment service was purchased to correspond with specific Customer asset(s) (the “Supported Product(s)” as defined below), and will be provided subject to the terms of these Installation & Deployment Terms, the Customer’s Order Form, Spec Sheet, or Service Description (listed below) that corresponds to the service that the Customer has purchased.

A Dell representative will contact the Customer to schedule this Service based on mutually agreed resource availability. This Service will be provided during normal Dell business hours Monday through Friday (8:00 am to 6:00pm Customer local time) unless otherwise specified on the Customer’s Order Form.

  1. Supported Products
      This Service is available on supported products which includes select Dell OptiPlex™, Latitude™, Inspiron™, Precision™, Vostro™, PowerEdge™, PowerEdge SC™, PowerVault™, PowerConnect™, Dell EqualLogic™, Dell | EMC Storage Systems™, and Dell printers, monitors and smartphones which are purchased in a standard configuration and indicated on your Order Form (“Supported Products”). Please contact your sales representative for the most up-to-date list of Services that are available on your Dell or non-Dell products.

      Each Supported Product is tagged with a serial number (the "Service Tag"). A separate service agreement must be purchased by Customer for each Supported Product. For example, a printer purchased with a laptop system is not covered by the laptop system's service contract; the printer and the laptop will each need their own service contract. Please refer to the Service Tag on your Supported Product when contacting Dell for this Service.
  2. Term of Service. This Agreement commences on the date listed on your Order Form and continues through the term indicated on the Order Form (the “Term”). As applicable, the number of systems, licenses, installations, deployments, managed end points or end-users for which Customer has purchased any one or more Services, as specified on your Order Form, the rate or price, and the applicable Term for each Service is indicated on Customer’s Order Form.

    2. Cooperate with Phone Analyst and On-site Technician. Customer will cooperate with and follow the instructions given by any Dell phone analyst or on-site technicians. Experience shows that most system problems and errors can be corrected over the phone as a result of close cooperation between the user and the analyst or technician.
    3. On-site Obligations. Where Services require on-site performance, Customer will provide (at no cost to Dell) free, safe and sufficient access to Customer's facilities and the Supported Products, including ample working space, electricity, and a local telephone line.

    5. Data Backup; Removing Confidential Data. Customer will complete a backup of all existing data, software and programs on all affected systems prior to and during the delivery of this Service. Customer should make periodic backup copies of the data stored on all affected systems as a precaution against possible failures, alterations, or loss of data.

    6. Third Party Warranties. These Services may require Dell to access hardware or software that is not manufactured by Dell. Some manufacturers' warranties may become void if Dell or anyone else other than the manufacturer works on the hardware or software.
