Limited 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 specification therefor. The term of your limited warranty
depends on the country in which your Product was purchased. The term of
your limited warranty is for 2 years in the North, South and Central America
region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region, and 2 years in
the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your
limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase date appearing on
your purchase receipt. 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 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. 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 with an equivalent or
better 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.
