This warranty does not cover (a) any damage caused as a result of improper use, accident, misuse, abuse, water ingress, alteration or modification of the product, (b) repairs carried out by any service organization that has not been expressly authorized by Transcend to perform such repairs, (c) any damage or contamination due to cigarette, pipe cigar or other smoke, (d) any damage caused by exposure to ozone, activated oxygen or other gases (e) failure to operate in accordance with the terms of the operating manual and instructions, (f) lack of reasonable care or (g) other defects not related to material or workmanship.

If a Product does not meet the warranty above, Transcend will repair or replace the Product or any of its parts, or refund the original purchase price, at Transcend's sole discretion, subject to the exclusions below. Transcend may use new or remanufactured assemblies, components, and parts in repair and new or refurbished devices for replacement.
