1.1 Memory Modules

EDGE Memory warrants that memory products purchased from EDGE Memory will be free from nonconformities in materials and workmanship under normal use.  This warranty is in effect beginning from the date of purchase and must be verified with provided invoice, displaying the date of product purchase.  The warranty period includes one calendar year from date of purchase, in addition to a limited lifetime warranty of workmanship.  This warranty extends only to the original purchaser and is not transferable to anyone who subsequently purchases the product from the original purchaser.

EDGE Memory will, at no additional charge, repair or replace nonconforming memory products with new parts or serviceable used parts that are equivalent to new in performance.  Unless specifically agreed to on a case by case basis, EDGE Memory will not accept product returns for credit.  All exchanged parts and products under this warranty will become the property of EDGE Memory.  The customer is responsible for return freight and product packaging; EDGE Memory is responsible for freight charges in the shipment of RMA product to the customer and appropriate product packaging.

This warranty does not extend to any product not purchased from EDGE Memory or to any product that has been damaged or rendered nonconforming:

As a result of accident, misuse, or abuse

By the use of parts not manufactured or sold by EDGE Memory

By modification of the product

As a result of service by anyone other than EDGE Memory

Use in applications not conforming to the environmental or operating specifications for the product

Shipping damage due to inadequate packaging by the customer in sending product to EDGE Memory for upgrades or repair

Customer induced damage, whether accidental or deliberate, due to unusual physical, electrical, or electromagnetic stress including, but not limited to, electrical surges and/or power failures

Under no circumstances will EDGE Memory be liable for damages, lost revenue, lost wages, or any other incidental or consequential damages arising from purchase, use or inability to use product, even if EDGE Memory has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

1.2 Solid State Drives

EDGE Memory, ("EDGE") warrants that products purchased from EDGE ("Product"), when properly installed, will be free from substantial defects in material and workmanship, and will substantially conform to EDGE's specifications for whichever of the following occurs first commencing on the purchase date from EDGE:

 

1) A period of 2, 3, or 5 years from purchase date (depending on model purchased)

 

      -OR-

 

2) Maximum Total Bytes Written (TBW) to flash by capacity using the JEDEC standardized formula as shown below:

 

TBW =     (P/E Cycles) * (User Capacity)

                 2 * (Write Amplification)            

 

  

If the Product, which is the subject of this Limited Warranty, fails to conform to the above warranty during the warranty period, EDGE, at its option and sole discretion, will repair or replace the Product with another product (where the replacement product is an equivalent product at the time a claim for warranty service is made to EDGE under this Limited Warranty).  Credit will only be issued if a “like” replacement is not available.  The credit price will be the lower of the purchase price or the current market value at the time a claim for warranty service is made to EDGE under this Limited Warranty.  The customer is responsible for return freight and product packaging; EDGE Memory is responsible for freight charges in the shipment of RMA product to the customer and appropriate product packaging.  The Limited Warranty will extend to Product which is repaired or replaced for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or thirty (30) days from the date of return shipment from EDGE of a repaired or replacement Product, whichever period is longer.  This warranty does not extend to any product not purchased from EDGE Memory nor to any product that has been damaged or rendered nonconforming: 

§  As a result of accident, misuse, or abuse.

§  By the use of parts not manufactured or sold by EDGE Memory.

§  By the modification of the product.

§  As a result of service by anyone other than EDGE Memory.

§  Use in applications not conforming to the environmental or operating specifications for the product.

Product Returns

You must obtain an RMA number before returning product to EDGE Memory, and that number must be clearly marked on the outside of your package or it will be refused for security reasons. Use a shipping method requiring our signature, for your protection, and pack the product securely. Do NOT use a standard envelope, as postal mailing machines will frequently damage the module or cause it to rip out of the envelope.

 

Calculation of Storage Device Capacity

Major manufacturers (including EDGE Memory) who produce storage media commonly define one megabyte as one million bytes. This definition causes a discrepancy when calculating large storage capacities because there are 1,024 bytes per kilobyte, 1,024 kilobytes per megabyte in the mathematical calculation. There is also a small percentage of space occupied by system files, further reducing the capacity for data storage. Final capacity is also affected by formatting (it will change slightly based on cluster size). As a result the device capacity that may be utilized by the end user to store data will be less than the amount advertised.
