consistently position ourselves to be significantly above the industry norm, which is all part of our 

commitment to Customer Satisfaction. 

Please do not break or remove the warranty sticker on your Transcend products, as this will void 

your product warranty. 

All 

Transcend information, Inc. (Transcend)

 products are warranted and tested to be free from defects in 

material and workmanship and to conform to the published specifications. During the warranty period should 

your Transcend 

Solid State Drive

 fail under normal use in the recommended environment due to improper 

workmanship or materials, Transcend will repair the product or replace it with a comparable one. This 

warranty is subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein.

 

Duration of Warranty: 

The Transcend

from the date of purchase. Proof of purchase including the date of purchase is required to collect on the 

warranty. Transcend will inspect the product and decide whether to repair or replace it. Transcend reserves 

the right to provide a functional equivalent product, or a refurbished replacement product.

 

Limitations: 

This warranty does not apply to product failure caused by accidents, abuse, mishandling, 

improper installation, alteration, acts of nature, improper usage, or problems with electrical power. In addition, 

opening or tampering with the product casing, or any physical damage, abuse or alteration to the product’s 

surface, including all warranty or quality stickers, product serial or electronic numbers will also void the 

product warranty. This warranty only applies to the product itself, and excludes all product accessories, 

including, but not limited to: card adapters, cables, earphones, power adapters, and remote controls, which 

must be exchanged within seven days of the purchase date if defective. Transcend is not responsible for 

recovering any data lost due to the failure of a hard drive device. Transcend’s 

SSD18M

 must be used with 

devices that conform to the recommended industry standards. Transcend will not be liable for damages 

resulting from a third party device that causes the Transcend

 to fail. Transcend shall in no event be 

liable for any consequential, indirect, or incidental damages, lost profits, lost business investments, lost 

goodwill, or interference with business relationships as a result of lost data. Transcend is also not responsible 

for damage or failure of any third party equipment, even if Transcend has been advised of the possibility.
