1. Overview
Dell Service Center is an independent third-party service center providing computer, laptop, hardware, software, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair-related services. We are not officially associated with or endorsed by Dell Technologies unless explicitly stated otherwise.
This Refund & Returns Policy explains the conditions under which payments for our services, spare parts, and other applicable purchases may be refunded or adjusted.
2. Service Charges and Diagnostic Fees
Diagnostic and inspection charges may apply when a customer submits a device for assessment. These charges cover the time and resources required to identify faults and evaluate the device.
Diagnostic fees are generally non-refundable once the inspection or diagnostic work has been completed. Any applicable charges will be communicated to the customer before the service proceeds, wherever reasonably possible.
3. Refunds for Repair Services
If a customer requests a refund for a repair service, we will review the service performed, the reported issue, the payment received, and the applicable service terms.
A refund may be considered in the following circumstances:
- A service was paid for but was not performed.
- A payment was collected incorrectly or duplicated.
- A repair was cancelled before work began, subject to any applicable charges already incurred.
- A service was not provided as agreed and a refund is an appropriate remedy.
- A refund is otherwise required under applicable law.
Completed diagnostic work, labour, and services already provided are generally not refundable unless otherwise agreed or required by law.
4. Spare Parts and Components
Spare parts supplied or installed as part of a repair may be eligible for replacement or refund if they are found to be defective, incorrectly supplied, or otherwise eligible under the applicable warranty or consumer protection requirements.
Eligibility will depend on the condition of the part, the nature of the reported fault, and the applicable terms.
Physical damage, liquid damage, misuse, unauthorized repairs, or other damage caused after installation may affect eligibility where permitted by the applicable warranty terms.
5. Refund Exclusions
Refunds may not be available for:
- Diagnostic or inspection services that have already been completed.
- Labour or repair services that have already been provided as agreed.
- Customer-approved work that has been completed according to the agreed scope.
- Problems caused by misuse, accidental damage, liquid exposure, or unauthorized modifications, where relevant to the claim.
- Third-party products or services that we did not supply or charge for.
These exclusions do not limit any rights available to customers under applicable law.
6. Requesting a Refund
To request a refund, contact our support team using the contact details provided on our website. Please include:
- Your name and contact details.
- Service receipt, invoice, or job reference number.
- Device model and a brief description of the issue.

Please do not send passwords, banking credentials, or unnecessary identity documents with your request.
7. Refund Review and Processing
We will review the request and may inspect the device or service records where necessary. We will inform the customer of the outcome and any additional information required.
Approved refunds will generally be processed through the original payment method, where available, or another mutually agreed lawful method. The time required for the refund to appear may depend on the payment provider or bank.
8. Service Warranty and Repeat Repairs
Any warranty on a repair or replacement part will be explained in the applicable service documentation or invoice.
If the same issue recurs within an applicable repair warranty period, the customer may contact us for an assessment under the relevant warranty terms. A warranty assessment does not automatically guarantee a refund or replacement.
