09 September 2004 - Kingston Technology, the worldwide independent leader in memory products, recently instituted a lifetime warranty policy on most of its digital media products*.

According to the new lifetime warranty, if any of Kingston Technology'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 Technology 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 digital media industry", commented Thomas Marschner, European Vice President Sales and Marketing, Kingston Technology.
