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 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.
