Warranty Information
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing only to WD authorized personnel or a WD-approved service center.
Obtaining Service
WD values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service. If this Product requires maintenance, either contact the
dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product or visit our product support Web site at support.wdc.com for information on how to
obtain service or a Return Material Authorization (RMA). If it is determined that the Product may be defective, you will be given an RMA
number and instructions for Product return. An unauthorized return (i.e., one for which an RMA number has not been issued) will be returned to
you at your expense. Authorized returns must be shipped in an approved shipping container, prepaid and insured, to the address provided on your
return paperwork. Your original box and packaging materials should be kept for storing or shipping your WD product. To conclusively establish
the period of warranty, check the warranty expiration (serial number required) via support.wdc.com. WD shall have no liability for lost data
regardless of the cause, recovery of lost data, or data contained in any Product placed in its possession.
Limited Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year,
unless otherwise required by law, and will conform to WD’s specification therefor. This limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase
date appearing on your purchase receipt. WD shall have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines that the Product was stolen from
WD or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or
c) is attributable to misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external covers,
unless authorized to do so by WD or an authorized service center), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD.
Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at WD’s
option, the repair or replacement of the Product. The foregoing warranty of WD shall extend to repaired or replaced Products for the balance of
the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.
The foregoing limited warranty is WD’s sole warranty and is applicable only to products sold as new. The remedies provided herein are in lieu of
a) any and all other remedies and warranties, whether expressed, implied or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WD for damages including, but not limited to
accidental, consequential, or special damages, or any financial loss, lost profits or expenses, or lost data arising out of or in connection with the
purchase, use, or performance of the Product, even if WD has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the United States, some states do
not allow exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
