Dear Customer
Thank you for choosing Dell Financial Services. Please read these Consumer Terms carefully. Your purchase is from Dell Bank International d.a.c., a designated activity company, trading as Dell Financial Services (“DFS”) (Ireland company number 502362), with registered offices at Innovation House, Cherrywood Science & Technology Park, Cherrywood, Dublin 18, Ireland.
1.1 These terms and conditions govern the sale of Product(s) by DFS directly to you through the DFS Refurbished Store only and are referred to as the “Consumer Terms”. The words “you” and “your” in these Consumer Terms mean you, being an individual or individuals purchasing Product(s) from DFS for purposes which are outside your trade, business, craft or profession and with a United Kingdom address for delivery of those Product(s). Please note that DFS will not accept liability for any losses or damage incurred by any business, trade, craft or profession carried on by you or any other person using Product(s) purchased under these Consumer Terms.
1.2 If you are purchasing or have purchased DFS Product(s) from a third party retailer or reseller, these Consumer Terms will not apply and you should refer to the terms and conditions of sale of the relevant retailer or reseller.
1.3 Key Definitions
2.1 You may place an order for Product(s) directly through the DFS Refurbished Store. The placing of an order by you represents your offer to buy subject to these Consumer Terms. Please note that the Contract between you and DFS is formed only when DFS accepts your order by issuing you with an Order Confirmation in writing.
2.2 Any Product(s) forming part of your order which are not detailed in the Order Confirmation do not form part of that Contract. If you notice any inaccuracies or errors in your Order Confirmation, you must contact DFS promptly upon receipt, and ideally immediately, so that DFS has an opportunity to correct any mistake or clarify any misunderstanding before commencing delivery/performance.
2.3 DFS may make minor changes to the specification of the Product(s) you order if for example there is a scarcity of a particular component or for any other reasonable grounds notified to you. Any such minor change will be to at least an equivalent or better specification and will not adversely affect the material functionality or performance of the Product(s). Any such change will be set out in your Order Confirmation. If you notify DFS of your acceptance of any such minor change to your order, or subsequently accept delivery of items listed in the Order Confirmation that are subject to a minor change, and use them, this conduct will constitute acceptance by you of the minor changes in the order.
2.4 If DFS is unable to fulfil your order, DFS will notify you, and any payment received by DFS will be promptly returned.
3.1 DFS requires payment in full prior to delivery/performance, and will suspend delivery and performance until full payment is received. The price to be paid by you will be set out in the Order Confirmation. All prices are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate but are not inclusive of delivery charges unless otherwise stated. Your method of payment will be as set out in the payment information on the DFS Refurbished Store.
3.2 In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the price set out in the Order Confirmation, and the price stated on the DFS Refurbished Store or other advertising, you should contact DFS immediately.
4.1 The place of delivery and estimated delivery date of Product(s) will be stated on the Order Confirmation. If the estimated delivery date cannot be met, then DFS will notify you with a revised estimated delivery date. If delivery is not made within 30 days from the original date of your order and you have not subsequently accepted delivery or agreed to a delivery date outside the 30 days, you may cancel your order without charge and obtain a full refund. This right is in addition to your “Cooling Off” rights set out in clause 7 below.
4.2 It is important that you examine the Product(s) carefully upon delivery. If you discover that anything listed in your Order Confirmation is missing, incorrect or damaged, you will promptly notify DFS via the contact details on the DFS Refurbished Store. This will give DFS the opportunity to suggest an appropriate solution, which may include a price refund, replacement, or repair services.
4.3 Once DFS delivers Product(s) to you (or your representative) you will take on risk of damage to or loss of the Product(s).
4.4 Ownership of Product(s) will pass to you once DFS receives payment in full, or when DFS delivers the Product(s) to you (or your representative), whichever is later. That transfer of ownership of the Product(s) does not mean that you own any Intellectual Property in the Product(s) you purchase from DFS. Ownership of such Intellectual Property remains with DFS and any applicable software licensors. If the Contract is terminated before that passing of ownership occurs, DFS may recover any Product(s) supplied to you and you agree to assist DFS in such circumstances.
4.5 Where goods are being returned to DFS through cancellation the transfer of ownership back to DFS shall take place on delivery back to base.
5.1 You have statutory rights in relation to the Product(s) sold to you. For example, Product(s) sold to you shall be of satisfactory quality and conform to their Product Description. Those rights are not affected by this Limited Warranty. All Product(s) sold by DFS pursuant to these Consumer Terms are used and contain used parts. DFS may repair Products using parts which are used, or equivalent in accordance with industry standards and practice for used products, and which will work for at least the remainder of the Limited Warranty period.
5.2 DFS warrants that Product(s) shall: (i) conform to its Product Description, (ii) be free from material defects for a period of 180 days from date of delivery, and (iii) that spare parts shall be free from defects for 180 days from the date of delivery or for the remainder of the applicable Limited Warranty or statutory warranty period, if longer.
5.3 Under the Limited Warranty, subject to clauses 5.3.1 – 5.3.4 inclusive and clause 5.4 below, DFS shall repair or replace the Product(s) if it develops a material fault in the period of 180 days from date of delivery, on condition that:
5.3.1 the Product has only been subject to normal use in a domestic, non-commercial, non-research environment in a manner which is consistent with the specification, functionality and service standards described in the Product Description;
5.3.2 reasonable care has been taken of the Product(s), and it has only been subjected to reasonable wear and tear;
5.3.3 the fault has not been caused or contributed to by wilfully or negligently caused damage, or any accident, or being in environmental conditions harmful to the Product(s), or by Third Party Software or hardware, which has not been supplied, loaded onto or connected to the Product(s);
5.3.4 the part which develops the fault has not been previously modified or repaired by any third party.
5.4 DFS's obligation to repair or replace under clause 5.3 above does not apply to:
5.4.1 consumable components (for example, toner in printer cartridges);
5.4.2 parts which are not critical to Product function, or
5.4.3 cosmetic features of the Product(s).
5.5 You will own all replacement Products and/or parts. DFS shall own any Product(s) and/or parts that are removed pursuant to the Limited Warranty, and, if requested by DFS to do so, you must return them to DFS. The costs of returning such removed parts or replaced Product(s) will be borne by DFS.
5.6 DFS will pass to you, to the extent that DFS is permitted to do so, the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer or supplier of third party product or Third Party Software. Without prejudice to your rights against DFS, DFS may therefore ask third party product manufacturers and/or Third Party Software licensors to fulfil their obligations to you under such warranties and guarantees and seek to ensure that such manufacturers and/or licensors do so with reasonable skill and care and within a reasonable period.
5.7 DFS fully retests all systems to ensure that every part of the system is fully functional and passes our quality-control procedures. Our Refurbished Product(s) may have some observable cosmetic imperfections, but they will not affect the performance.
5.8 Prior to any warranty, refund, repair or replacement return, you must call customer support and request a Return Material Authorisation (RMA) number.
6.1 Repairs under Limited Warranty, will be carried out within a reasonable period, but actual timings may vary depending, among other factors, on the remoteness or accessibility of your location, weather conditions and availability of parts.
6.2 Unless otherwise stated, you shall be responsible for all telephone and postal charges in contacting DFS.
7.1 Subject to this clause, you have the right to cancel your Contract as follows:
You have the right to cancel and return the Product(s) (Cooling Off Rights). That right is for 14 calendar days beginning the later of the day after: - 1) the day you receive your Order Confirmation OR 2) the date of delivery (Cooling Off Period).

DFS will refund you the price (including standard delivery charge if applicable), less direct return freight costs it has paid on your behalf, as soon as possible and within 14 calendar days of receiving your cancellation notice. However, DFS may withhold payment of your refund pending receipt of the returned Product (in its original condition).
