Kingston Offers Lifetime Warranty on Most of its Digital Media Products
Fountain Valley, CA -- (August 2, 2004), Kingston® Technology Company, Inc., the worldwide independent leader in memory products, recently instituted a lifetime warranty policy on most of its flash memory products*.

According to the new lifetime warranty, if any of Kingston's Compact Flash®, MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital or Smart Media™ products fails at any time, and the failure is caused by a defect in material or workmanship, Kingston® will either repair or replace the product. Until now, the standard warranty on such products was five years.

"This lifetime warranty is a way for us to demonstrate our commitment to the flash memory industry," said Mike Sager, senior vice president, Kingston. "We would not offer a lifetime warranty without the reliability and support behind it," added Sager.

The new warranty policy will be offered to any products made on or after January 1, 2004. For further details regarding Kingston's warranty policy, visit www.kingston.com/company/warranty.asp.
