These Installation & Deployment Terms are entered between you, the customer (“you” or “Customer”), and the Dell entity identified on your Order Form for the purchase of this Service. This Service is provided subject to and governed by Customer’s separate signed master services agreement with Dell that explicitly authorizes the sale of this Service. In the absence of such agreement this Service is provided subject to and governed by Dell’s Commercial Terms of Sale, available at
www.dell.com/CTS (as applicable, the “Agreement”). The parties acknowledge having read and agree to be bound by such online terms. Customer further agrees that by renewing, modifying, extending or continuing to utilize the Service beyond the initial term, the Service will be subject to the then-current Installation & Deployment Terms available for review at www.dell.com/servicecontracts/us.

By placing your order for the Services, receiving delivery of the Services, utilizing the Services or associated software or by clicking/checking the “I Agree” button or box or similar on the Dell.com website in connection with your purchase or within a Dell software or Internet interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and the agreements incorporated by reference herein.

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.
