Limited Warranty for Dell-Branded Hardware Products (U.S. Only)

WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). DELL'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCITONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND
REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE

WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR

on Dell-branded batteries lasts only one year and the limited warranty on the lamps for Dell-branded projectors lasts

What will Dell do?
During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties: During the 90 days
of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware
products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product,
we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your return. You
must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the
shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement
products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States
(excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and inform you of service
alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
Appendix
73
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage
device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as
floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information;
lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace any defective part with
new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card
number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you
return the original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the
original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S.
possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping
container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in
the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the service agreement. Please refer
to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please refer to that contract
for details on how to obtain service.
How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building
replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell,
some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement
parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought. Dell owns all
parts removed from repaired products.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive under this limited
warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to resolve issues regarding our limited warranty is to work
together. If, after those discussions, you are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most expeditious way to
resolve your concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING
STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising
from or relating to this limited warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the
relationships which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law,
relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY
AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM
(NAF) under its Code of Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/ or via telephone at
1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between you and Dell. Any award of
the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Information may be obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191,
Minneapolis, MN 55405. This provision applies only to individual home consumers and consumers who purchased
through an employee purchase program. It does not apply to small, medium, large, and global commercial customers or
government, education, and healthcare customers.

Appendix
May I transfer the limited warranty?

transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded memory may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (U.S. Only)
We value our relationship with you and want to make sure that you're satisfied with your purchases. That's why we offer
a "Total Satisfaction" return policy for most products that you—the end-user customer—purchase directly from Dell.
Under this policy, you may return to Dell products that you purchased directly from Dell for a credit or a refund of the
purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and applicable restocking fees as follows:
•
New Hardware Products and Accessories — All new hardware, accessories, parts, and unopened software still in
its sealed package, excluding the products listed below, may be returned within thirty days from the date on the
packing slip or invoice. To return applications software or an operating system that has been installed by Dell, you
must return the entire computer. A different return policy applies to nondefective products purchased through
Dell's Software and Peripherals division by customers of our Small and Medium Business divisions. Those
products may be returned within thirty days from the date on the packing slip or invoice, but a fifteen percent
(15%) restocking fee will be deducted from any refund or credit. The "Total Satisfaction" Return Policy and
Software and Peripherals division return policy are not available for Dell | EMC storage products, EMC-branded
products, or enterprise software.
•
Reconditioned or Refurbished Dell-Branded Hardware Products and Parts — All reconditioned or refurbished
Dell-branded server and storage products may be returned within thirty days from the date on the packing slip or
invoice. All other reconditioned or refurbished Dell-branded hardware products and parts may be returned within
fourteen days of the date on the packing slip or invoice.
To return products, e-mail or call Dell customer service to receive a Credit Return Authorization Number within the
return policy period applicable to the product you want to return. You must obtain a Credit Return Authorization
Number in order to return the product. See "Contacting Dell" or "Getting Help" in your customer documentation (or
www.dell.com/us/en/gen/contact.htm) to find the appropriate contact information for obtaining customer assistance.
You must ship the products to Dell within five days of the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization
Number. You must also return the products to Dell in their original packaging, in as-new condition along with any
media, documentation, and all other items that were included in the original shipment, prepay shipping charges, and
insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment.

replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell,
some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement
parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought. Dell owns all
parts removed from repaired products.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive under this limited
warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to resolve issues regarding our limited warranty is to work
together. If, after those discussions, you are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most expeditious way to
resolve your concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING
STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising
from or relating to this limited warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the
relationships which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law,
relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY
AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM
(NAF) under its Code of Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/, or via telephone at
1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between you and Dell. Any award of
the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Information may be obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191,
Minneapolis, MN 55405.
May I transfer the limited warranty?
Limited warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership of the system and records the
transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded memory may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by
going to Dell’s website:
•
For Canada-purchased computers (in-country transfers) and to transfer from one customer to another, go to
www.dell.ca/ca/en/gen/topics/segtopic_ccare_nav_013_ccare.htm
•
For out-of-country transfers (outside of the original country of purchase), go to

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (Canada Only)
If you are an end-user customer who bought new products directly from Dell, you may return them to Dell up to 30 days
after you receive them for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. If you are an end-user customer who bought
reconditioned or refurbished products from Dell, you may return them to Dell within 14 days after the date on the
packing slip or invoice for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. In either case, the refund or credit will not
include any shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice and will be subject to a fifteen percent
(15%) restocking fee, unless otherwise prohibited by law. If you are an organization that bought the products under a
written agreement with Dell, the agreement may contain different terms for the return of products than specified by this
policy.
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-847-4096 to receive a Credit Return Authorization
Number. To expedite the process of your refund or credit, Dell expects you to return the products to Dell in their
original packaging within five days of the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization Number. You must also
prepay shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during shipment. You may return
software for a refund or credit only if the sealed package containing the floppy disk(s) or CD(s) is unopened. Returned
products must be in as-new condition, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items
included with a product must be returned with it. For customers who want to return, for refund or credit only, either
application or operating system software that has been installed by Dell, the whole system must be returned, along with
any media and documentation that may have been included in the original shipment.
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.
Appendix
79
Return Policy
If you are an end-user customer who bought Dell Software and Peripherals products directly from a Dell company, you
may return Dell Software and Peripherals products that are in as-new condition to Dell up to 30 days from the date on
the packing slip or invoice for a refund of the product purchase price if already paid. This refund will not include any
shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice; you are responsible for those.
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a Credit Return Authorization
Number. You must ship the Dell Software and Peripherals products back to Dell in their original manufacturer's
packaging (which must be in as-new condition), prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk of
loss or damage during shipment.
To qualify for refund or replacement, returned products must be in as-new condition, software products must be
unopened, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items included with a product must be
returned with it.

Dell Computer Corporation
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranties
The following sections describe the limited warranty for ink and toner cartridges for the U.S., Canada, and Latin
America. Refer to the appropriate limited warranty accordingly.
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (U.S. and Canada Only)
Dell Computer Corporation warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that they will
be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the cartridge and that for genuine Dell-branded ink
cartridges they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for two years beginning on the date of invoice. If
this product proves defective in either material or workmanship, it will be replaced without charge during the limited
warranty period if returned to Dell. You must first call our toll-free number to get your return authorization. In the U.S.,
call 1-800-822-8965; in Canada, call 1-800-387-5757. If we are not able to replace the product because it has been
discontinued or is not available, we will either replace it with a comparable product or reimburse you for the cartridge
purchase cost, at Dell’s sole option. This limited warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that have been
refilled or improperly stored or due to problems resulting from misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, mishandling, incorrect
environments, or wear from ordinary use.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). DELL’S RESPONSIBILITY
FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN
THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS, EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES
CONTAINED IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, DELL DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, FOR THE PRODUCT. FOR U.S.
CUSTOMERS, ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD
HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY COVERAGE
TERMINATES IF YOU SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS PRODUCT TO ANOTHER PARTY.
DELL DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR
PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST SOFTWARE. DELL’S
LIABILITY WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT THAT IS THE
SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH DELL IS RESPONSIBLE.
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
82
Appendix
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (Latin America Only)
Dell Computer Corporation warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that the
cartridges will be free from defects resulting from material or manufacturing process for the life of the cartridge. For the
original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded ink cartridges, Dell warrants that the cartridges will be free from defects
resulting from material or manufacturing process for one year beginning from the date of delivery.
If this product presents defects resulting from either material or manufacturing process, it will be replaced without
charge during the limited warranty period if returned to Dell.
In order to obtain the necessary information to enable the replacement, call the appropriate toll-free number. In Mexico,
call 001-877-533-6230; in Puerto Rico, call 1-877-839-5123. In cases in which either the production of the cartridge has
been discontinued or the cartridge is not available, Dell reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to choose between
replacing it by a similar product or reimbursing you for the purchase cost.
This limited warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that have been refilled or to defects resulting from
misuse, abuse, accident, negligence, mishandling, improper storage or exposure to inappropriate environments.
Dell’s liability for the malfunction or defect of hardware after the period of the legal warranty (and specifically the
period of the legal warranty of defective products stated in the consumer protections rules), is limited to either the
substitution of the product or the reimbursement as stated above. This warranty coverage terminates if you sell or
otherwise transfer this product to a third party.
Dell does not accept any additional liability for patrimonial, emotional or any other kind of damage caused to the
consumer and/or to a third party, which exceeds the established liability either in this limited warranty or in legal rules
that may apply.
Appendix
83
Dell Software License Agreement
This is a legal agreement between you, the user, and Dell Products, L.P ("Dell"). This agreement
covers all software that is distributed with the Dell product, for which there is no separate
license agreement between you and the manufacturer or owner of the software (collectively the
"Software"). By opening or breaking the seal on the Software packet(s), installing or
downloading the Software, or using the Software that has been preloaded or is embedded in
your computer, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to
these terms, promptly return all Software items (disks, written materials, and packaging) and
delete any preloaded or embedded Software.
You may use one copy of the Software on only one computer at a time. If you have multiple
licenses for the Software, you may use as many copies at any time as you have licenses. "Use"
means loading the Software in temporary memory or permanent storage on the computer.
Installation on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is not "use" if (but
only if) you have a separate license for each computer to which the Software is distributed. You
must ensure that the number of persons using the Software installed on a network server does
not exceed the number of licenses that you have. If the number of users of Software installed on
a network server will exceed the number of licenses, you must purchase additional licenses until
the number of licenses equals the number of users before allowing additional users to use the
Software. If you are a commercial customer of Dell or a Dell affiliate, you hereby grant Dell, or
an agent selected by Dell, the right to perform an audit of your use of the Software during
normal business hours, you agree to cooperate with Dell in such audit, and you agree to provide
Dell with all records reasonably related to your use of the Software. The audit will be limited to
verification of your compliance with the terms of this agreement.
The Software is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaties. You may
make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes or transfer it to a single
hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not rent
or lease the Software or copy the written materials accompanying the Software, but you may
transfer the Software and all accompanying materials on a permanent basis if you retain no
copies and the recipient agrees to the terms hereof. Any transfer must include the most recent
update and all prior versions. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the
Software. If the package accompanying your computer contains compact discs, 3.5" and/or 5.25"
disks, you may use only the disks appropriate for your computer. You may not use the disks on
another computer or network, or loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another user except as
permitted by this agreement.
84
Appendix
Limited Warranty
Dell warrants that the Software disks will be free from defects in materials and workmanship
under normal use for ninety (90) days from the date you receive them. This warranty is limited
to you and is not transferable. Any implied warranties are limited to ninety (90) days from the
date you receive the Software. Some jurisdictions do not allow limits on the duration of an
implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you. The entire liability of Dell and its
suppliers, and your exclusive remedy, shall be (a) return of the price paid for the Software or (b)
replacement of any disk not meeting this warranty that is sent with a return authorization
number to Dell, at your cost and risk. This limited warranty is void if any disk damage has
resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, or service or modification by someone other than
Dell. Any replacement disk is warranted for the remaining original warranty period or thirty (30)
days, whichever is longer.
Dell does NOT warrant that the functions of the Software will meet your requirements or that
operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free. You assume responsibility for
selecting the Software to achieve your intended results and for the use and results obtained from
the Software.
DELL, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
FOR THE SOFTWARE AND ALL ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS. This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have others, which vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.
IN NO EVENT SHALL DELL OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION,
OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Because
some jurisdictions do not allow an exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or
incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
Appendix
85
U.S. Government Restricted Rights
The software and documentation are "commercial items" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R.
2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212
and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the
software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein. Contractor/manufacturer is
Dell Products, L.P., One Dell Way, Round Rock, Texas 78682.
General
This license is effective until terminated. It will terminate upon the conditions set forth above
or if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you agree that the Software and
accompanying materials, and all copies thereof, will be destroyed. This agreement is governed by
the laws of the State of Texas. Each provision of this agreement is severable. If a provision is
found to be unenforceable, this finding does not affect the enforceability of the remaining
provisions, terms, or conditions of this agreement. This agreement is binding on successors and
assigns. Dell agrees and you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right
to a jury trial with respect to the Software or this agreement. Because this waiver may not be
effective in some jurisdictions, this waiver may not apply to you. You acknowledge that you have
read this agreement, that you understand it, that you agree to be bound by its terms, and that
this is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and Dell regarding
the Software.
