KingBank Technology will provide warranty services to consumers in accordance with the relevant regulations. The detailed terms are as below.

I. Warranty Statement

KingBank Technology promises consumers that the products have no defects in manufacturing and materials.

Within the normal warranty period, if the product is proven to have functional failures or material defects, KingBank Technology will provide services to consumers by repairing or replacing products of the same grade and capacity, and promises they have the same functions as brand new products.

Replacement criteria: For new product with failures, a replacement claim can be raised within 7 days of purchase. Please provide purchase proof (warranty card and invoice), the product, compact packaging and all accessories. Replacement will only be provided after tests confirmed that no action out of warranty terms toward the product is conducted; for claims exceeding the warranty period, they will be handled according to repair procedures.

Accessories provided with the product are not covered by the warranty service.

II. Warranty Period

KingBank Technology provides limited lifetime warranty service for memory products (until 1 year after product discontinuation), and 3 years limited warranty for solid state drives (from the 1st to the 3rd year after sale). From the date of sale, if problems listed in the “Microcomputer Product Performance Failure For” occur during normal use of the product, and the product is within the valid warranty scope, the corresponding services can be enjoyed.

When consumers can provide valid purchase certificate documents (such as delivery note, uniform invoice, etc.), the warranty period is calculated from the date of product purchase; if unable to provide purchase certificate documents, the warranty period is calculated from the factory production date.
