I. WARRANTY STATEMENT

functioning properly for one year from the date of purchase. This express warranty is extended by SanDisk
Corporation.
II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
This warranty sets forth the full extent of SanDisk’s responsibilities regarding the SanDisk FlashDisk. In satisfaction
of its obligations hereunder, SanDisk, at its sole option, will either repair, replace or refund the purchase price of the
product.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, THE EXPRESS
WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER AS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, ARE IN LIEU
OF, AND BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTIES AND WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR INFRINGEMENT,
TOGETHER WITH ANY LIABILITY OF SELLER UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY
OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR LOSS OF USE, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR OTHER
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PHYSICAL INJURY OR
DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST DATA, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS,

SanDisk’s products are not warranted to operate without failure. Accordingly, in any use of products in life support
systems or other applications where failure could cause injury or loss of life, the products should only be incorporated
in systems designed with appropriate redundancy, fault tolerant or back-up features.
III. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS
For products found to be defective within one year of purchase, SanDisk will have the option of repairing or replacing
the defective product, if the following conditions are met:
A. A warranty registration card for each defective product was submitted and is on file at SanDisk. If not, a
warranty registration card must accompany each returned defective product. This card is included in each
product’s original retail package.
B. The defective product is returned to SanDisk for failure analysis as soon as possible after the failure occurs.
C. An incident card filled out by the user, explaining the conditions of usage and the nature of the failure,
accompanies each returned defective product.
D. No evidence is found of abuse or operation of products not in accordance with the published specifications, or
of exceeding storage or maximum ratings or operating conditions.
All failing products returned to SanDisk under the provisions of this limited warranty shall be tested to the product’s
functional and performance specifications. Upon confirmation of failure, each product will be analyzed, by whatever
means necessary, to determine the root cause of failure. If the root cause of failure is found to be not covered by the
above provisions, then the product will be returned to the customer with a report indicating why the failure was not
covered under the warranty.
This warranty does not cover defects, malfunctions, performance failures or damages to the unit resulting from use in
other than its normal and customary manner, misuse, accident or neglect; or improper alterations or repairs.
SanDisk reserves the right to repair or replace, at its discretion, any product returned by its customers, even if such
product is not covered under warranty, but is under no obligation to do so.
SanDisk may, at its discretion, ship repaired or rebuilt products identified in the same way as new products, provided
such cards meet or exceed the same published specifications as new products. Concurrently, SanDisk also reserves the
right to market any products, whether new, repaired, or rebuilt, under different specifications and product
designations if such products do not meet the original product’s specifications.
