Standard Operating Procedure for claims in Kingston
Service Centre - Convergent Singapore
Please submit your defective
product together with the packaging box and any receipt or identifying stickers
if possible. Having product, packaging and receipt will help us identify your
product's part number, origin and authenticity quickly and help us speed up your
RMA process.
Convergent Systems will facilitate RMA for all Genuine
Kingston memory modules. It is advisable to ensure that you purchase Kingston
Value Memory modules from authorised dealers and to ensure that your purchases
are genuine Kingston as a strict pre-requisite for warranty. We may have to
spend some time to verify the authenticity of your product.
Convergent
warrants all genuine Kingston products, but if we have to establish
authenticity, there may be a delay in processing your warranty. We have to spend
time to establish authenticity, and limited buffer stocks to do a one-to-one
exchange, and because of this, we need to prioritize customers whose Kingston
products are easily recognizable to be genuine.
If you bought a product
not immediately recognized by us as a genuine Kingston product, we may not at
this time be able to offer you a one-to-one exchange. However, if there are
questions of authenticity, but you require us to help you claim your warranty
from Kingston, we will take your defective part and send it back to Kingston. If
it is verified to be a genuine Kingston part, you will get this part back
normally within 2-3 weeks. If it is not verified as a genuine Kingston part, the
part might be retained as evidence of legal infringement of Kingston's
intellectual property rights, and you will be informed duly and may be asked to
aid in Kingston's investigations.
If you require an immediate exchange
for products not immediately recognizable to be a genuine Kingston product, we
suggest that you go back to the retailer you purchased to ask for a
replacement.
If you require any aid at any stage, you could send an email
tokingston...@convergent.com.sg

Damage to Kingston products will be replaced/repaired/rejected based solely on
