Malware & Viruses

For assistance with the removal of malware and viruses your PC would have to be returned to Dolphin. This is discretionary and chargeable service.

Support for 3rd Party Products

Dolphin resells a number of items of third party hardware including Dell, Lenovo, HP desktop computers and laptops, and Index Embossers:

Computers - Hardware

Computers sold by Dolphin will come with the manufacturer's warranty. This warranty covers faults with the computer hardware during the period of the warranty. If you experience a hardware issue with your computer during the period of warranty, please contact Dolphin Technical support on 01905 754765 to discuss a possible return to base repair under warranty. For computers that are no longer under warranty, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to discuss the repair options available to you.

Computers - Other Software

The computers sold by Dolphin may come with a collection of preinstalled 3rd party software. Dolphin does not provide support for these products and customers are advised to contact the vendors of such applications for technical support. Examples of 3rd party software include Windows Live Mail and Power DVD.

Computers - Operating System

Dolphin may be able to offer basic advice for issues with the Windows operating system on your PC, but we may need to refer you to speak with a Microsoft Technical Support Advisor. Generally we recommend speaking with the Microsoft Accessibility Team who, like Dolphin's support team, are trained in the use of assistive technology - they can be reached on 0800 026 0584. We would also advise customers to call this number if they are experiencing issues with any other Microsoft product, for example Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Word.

Printers and Scanners

Support for printers and scanners sold by Dolphin will be provided for the first 6 months of ownership, after which time Dolphin will refer customers to the hardware manufacturer for support.

Index Embossers

Please contact support for questions relating to your Index products that were purchased from Dolphin. If a hardware issue is identified, the repair under warranty will be undertaken by the UK Master Distributor.
