Nothing in this warranty
modifies

Competition and Consumer Act or the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act.
This warranty
identifies
WD’s preferred approach to resolving warranty claims
which is likely to be quick and simple for all parties.
No other warranties either express or implied by law, including but not limited to
those contained in the Sale of Goods Act, are made with respect to the Product. If
you purchased your Product in New Zealand for the purposes of a business, you
acknowledge and agree that the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act does not
apply.
In Australia, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the
Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major
failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You
are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if goods fail to be of
acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. What
constitutes a major failure is set out in the Australian Consumer Law.
Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term
defined
below, be free from defects in material and workmanship and will conform
to WD’s
specifications.
The term of your warranty is 2 year in Australia and New
Zealand, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your warranty period shall
commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt from an
authorized distributor or authorized reseller. Proof of purchase shall be required to
be eligible for this warranty and to establish the commencement date of this
warranty. Warranty service will not be provided unless the Product is returned to
an authorized distributor, authorized reseller or regional WD return center where
the Product was
first
shipped by WD. WD may at its discretion make extended
warranties available for purchase. WD shall have no liability for any Product
returned if WD determines that the Product was (i) not purchased from an
authorized distributor or authorized reseller, (ii) not used in accordance with WD
specifications
and instructions, (iii) not used for its intended function, or (iv) 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 enclosures, including the
mounting frame, unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable
products and the
specific
alteration is within the scope of the applicable
instructions, as found at http://support.wd.com), accident or mishandling while in
the possession of someone other than WD.
