Dataram Memory Product Policies

Warranty

Dataram Corporation warrants that its memory products will be free from defects in material and workmanship and conform to the manufacturer's specifications for the computer in which it is originally installed. This warranty is extended to the original end user for the lifetime of the system.

Your sole and exclusive remedy and Dataram's sole obligation under this warranty is to correct any failure by repair, replacement or adjustment, or at Dataram's sole option and discretion, to take back the board and refund the purchase price.

This warranty covers only normal customer use of the board. Dataram shall not be liable under this warranty if any damage or defect results from (i) misuse, abuse, neglect, improper shipping or installation; (ii) handling without adequate ESD (electro static discharge) protection; (iii) disasters such as fire, flood, lightning or improper electrical current; (iv) service or alteration by anyone other than an authorized Dataram representative; or (v) attachments, features or devices employed on the board which are not supplied by Dataram or not approved in writing by Dataram.

Dataram makes no other warranty, either express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or conformity to any representation or description, with respect to this board other than as set forth above. Dataram makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, with respect to any other manufacturer's product or documentation, its quality, performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or conformity to any representation or description.

Except as provided above, Dataram is not liable for any loss, cost, expense, inconvenience or damage, including direct, indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, that may result from the use or inability to use the board. Under no circumstances shall Dataram be liable for any loss, cost expense, inconvenience or damage exceeding the purchase price of the board.

The warranty and remedies set forth above are exclusive and in lieu of all others, oral or written, expressed or implied. No Dataram reseller, agent or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this warranty.

Dataram’s Basic Product Repair or Replacement Policy

If a Dataram memory product does not function properly Dataram will issue a Return Material Authorization number (RMA#) for the return of the defective memory. Upon receipt, Dataram will repair or replace (at Dataram’s discretion) and express ship the memory back to the customer.

The customer shall pay all costs and bear all risks when returning products to Dataram. Dataram reserves the right to refuse the return of any products received without an RMA number.

Dataram’s Advance Replacement Policy

If a Dataram memory product does not function properly Dataram will express ship a replacement the same day at no cost to the customer. Same day shipment is dependant on the time of the customer’s request and product availability. Dataram does not guarantee replacement memory will always be immediately available, nor does Dataram guarantee same day shipment. Dataram will make every reasonable effort to ship the replacement memory the same day of the request.

Actual customer receipt of the replacement will vary according to the region of the world. Typically customers within the continental U.S. will receive their replacements the next day. All other areas of the world depend mostly on the time it takes to clear customs which is not under Dataram’s control.

Customer Support will issue a Return Material Authorization number (RMA#) for the return of the defective memory product. The customer shall pay all costs and bear all risks when returning products to Dataram. Dataram must receive the defective memory within 2 weeks of the customers’ receipt of the replacement memory. Dataram reserves the right to refuse the return of any products received without an RMA number.

This policy replaces phrases such as “express-ship replacement program”, “24-hour express spares program”, “hot spares”, “express spares”, etc.

All customers are eligible for advanced replacements unless the Dataram Controller advises Customer Support otherwise. Reasons for loss of eligibility include but are not limited to credit risk or delinquent product returns. Such customers would be supported under the Basic Product Repair and Replacement Policy.

Returning Memory to Dataram

The memory you are returning to Dataram consists of sensitive electronic components that must be properly packaged. Improper packaging can result in damage to the memory, a delay in the processing of your RMA, and possible charges to your company. Please take a few moments and follow these packaging guidelines.

  • Static electricity can damage sensitive electronic components. Turn off and remove the power cable on all equipment before removing the memory. To equalize the static electricity, rest the anti-static bag on top of the workstation while you are removing the memory from the system and use a grounded wrist strap whenever possible. Handle the memory as little as possible and with care.
  • Each memory module must be placed in an individual electrostatic bag and sealed.
  • When packaging multiple memory modules, ensure they can not touch each other during shipment with the use of bubble wrap, foam or other protective materials.
  • Ensure there are sufficient protective materials around the memory to protect it from the shipping container.
