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 five years of purchase, SanDisk will have the

option of repairing or replacing the defective product, if the following conditions are

met:

A. A warranty registration Module for each defective product was submitted and is on

file at SanDisk. If not, a warranty registration Module must accompany each

returned defective product.

This Module 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 Module 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

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.
