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,
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.wdc.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.
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 http://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 http://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.

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

Obtaining Service
WD values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service. Should you encounter any
problem, please give us an opportunity to address it before returning this Product. Most technical support
questions can be answered through our knowledge base or e-mail support service at http://support.wdc.com. If
the answer is not available or, if you prefer, please contact WD at the applicable telephone number shown in the
front of this document.
If you wish to make a claim, you should initially contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the
Product. If you are unable to contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product, please visit our
product support Web site at http://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 with your RMA number. If following receipt of a
qualifying claim under this warranty, WD or the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product
determines that your claim is valid, WD or such dealer shall, at its discretion, either repair or replace the Product
with an equivalent or better Product or refund the cost of the Product to you. You are responsible for any
expenses associated with a claim under this warranty. The benefits provided to you under this warranty are in
addition to other rights and remedies available to you under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act or the
New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act.
