Kingston warrants to the original end-user customer that its products are free from defects in material and workmanship. Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below, Kingston will, at its option, either repair or replace any part of its products that prove defective by reason of improper workmanship or materials. Repaired parts or replacement products will be provided by Kingston on an exchange basis and will be either new or recertified. All recertified products have been tested to ensure that they are functionally equivalent to new products. If Kingston is unable to repair or replace the product, it will refund or credit the lesser of either the current value of the product at the time the warranty claim is made or the purchase price. Proof of purchase must be provided in order to establish the original purchase date and pricing.
This limited warranty does not cover any damage to the product that results from improper installation, accident, abuse, misuse, natural disaster, insufficient or excessive electrical supply, abnormal mechanical or environmental conditions, or any unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification. This limited warranty shall not apply if: (i) the product was not used in accordance with any accompanying instructions, or (ii) the product was not used for its intended function. This limited warranty also does not apply to any product on which the original identification information has been altered, obliterated, or removed, that has not been handled or packaged correctly, that has been sold as second-hand or that has been resold contrary to the U.S. and other applicable export regulations.
This limited warranty covers only repair, replacement, refund, or credit for defective Kingston products, as provided above. Kingston is not liable for and does not cover under warranty, any damages or losses of any kind whatsoever resulting from loss of, damage to, or corruption of, content or data or any costs associated with determining the source of system problems or removing, servicing or installing Kingston products. This warranty excludes third-party software, connected equipment, or stored data.
