1-Year Limited Warranty
Western Digital Corporation (“WDC”) 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 WDC's specification therefor. This limited warranty period shall commence
on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt.
WDC shall have no liability for any Product returned if WDC determines that the product was stolen from WDC or that the asserted defect
a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be rectified because of damage occurring before WDC receives the Product, or c) is attributable to
misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels), an accident, or mishandling while in your possession.
Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at
WDC's option, the repair or replacement of the Product. The foregoing warranty of WDC 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 WDC'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 war-
ranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WDC 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 con-
nection with the purchase, use or performance of the Product, even if WDC 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.
