Seriously, Dell has no excuse for how ridiculously buried this information is. Let's take these terms and stick them where they actually belong, right next to all the other crap they make me agree to EVERY time I purchase something:

Was that so hard, Dell? Was it?

Well, let's be honest - Dell has no excuse for not allowing returns on these items. That's unbelievable, tbh. One of the reasons I buy most of this kind of stuff from Amazon.

How is it even legal? Consumer protection laws are a thing in tons of countries specifically to stop companies exploiting people with eg, unfair refund policies... Steam/Valve recently learned that the hard way in Australia, Apple in Europe etc.

The product mentioned are expensive entreprisey products, mostly sold business-to-business.

The europeans laws offer little protection to companies. Consumer laws apply only when selling directly to consumers.

But you probably wouldn't have bought it, then! They need to get rid of stock, obviously in whatever fashion they can.
