Terms of Limited Product Warranty
SimpleTech warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the Warranty Period indicated above. The Limited Warranty commences from the purchase date appearing on the original retail purchase receipt. This warranty does not cover any damage to this product that results from accident, abuse, misuse, natural or personal disaster, or any unauthorized disassembly, repair, or modification.
SimpleTech will have no liability for Product returned if SimpleTech determines that the claimed defect a) is not present, or b) is attributable to misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels), or mishandling after original shipment from SimpleTech. Also, SimpleTech will not repair or exchange any product that has a "limited lifetime" which fails solely because it's estimated life has expired. SimpleTech bears no responsibility for failure or defect caused by any third party product or components whether authorized or not.
