BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS

ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT

IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY. YOUR PURCHASE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT (THIS “AGREEMENT”), AND OTHER TERMS AS APPLICABLE TO PARTICULAR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, LIMITS YOUR ABILITY TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, OR A JURY TRIAL FOR CERTAIN DISPUTES.

1.Disputes. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to all Disputes between you and Western Digital Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “WDT”). For the purposes of this Agreement and subject to the exceptions set forth in this Section 1, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or action between you and WDT arising out of or relating to all WDT products and services, including without limitation hardware and software products, this Agreement, or other transaction involving you and WDT, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND WDT AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT

SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR WDT FOR

(A) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (B) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (C) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (D) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. MOREOVER, NOTWITHSTANDING SECTION 6, YOU AGREE THAT A COURT, NOT THE ARBITRATOR, MAY DECIDE IF A CLAIM FALLS WITHIN ONE OF THESE FOUR EXCEPTIONS.

2.Binding Arbitration. You and WDT further agree: (a) to arbitrate all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in this agreement; (b) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce; and (c) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS

THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.

3.Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.

4.Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or WDT must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to WDT must be addressed to:

Western Digital Technologies, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3355 Michelson Drive, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92612, U.S.A. (the “WDT Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address WDT on file or otherwise in our records for you. If WDT and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or WDT may commence an arbitration proceeding

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 3 years 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.

PRODUCTS ARE COMPLEX AND FRAGILE ITEMS THAT MAY OCCASSIONALY FAIL DUE TO (A) EXTERNAL CAUSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, MISHANDLING, EXPOSURE TO HEAT, COLD, AND HUMIDITY, AND POWER FAILURES, OR (B) INTERNAL FAULTS . SUCH FAILURES CAN RESULT IN THE LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION OF DATA. NOTE THAT YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION OF DATA HOWSOEVER CAUSED, AND FOR BACKING UP AND PROTECTING DATA AGAINST LOSS, CORRUPTION, DELETION OR ALTERATION. YOU AGREE TO CONTINUALLY BACK UP ALL DATA ON THE PRODUCT, AND TO COMPLETE A BACKUP PRIOR TO SEEKING ANY GENERAL SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM WD.

In Australia, if the Product is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, provided it is fair and reasonable to do so, WD limits its liability to replacement of the Product or supply of equivalent or better Product.

This warranty 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. This warranty is WD’s sole manufacturer's warranty and is applicable only to Products sold as new.

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.wd.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.wd.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

pursuant to this Agreement. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of the parties agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

5.WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND WDT AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAYBRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUTLIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

6.Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement shall govern. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to federal, state, or local laws. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, copyright infringement or misuse, or trademark infringement or dilution, all of which are excluded from the definition of “Disputes” in Section 1. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at your option.

a Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or WDT decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties agree to the following procedure:

(i)Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com (“Demand for Arbitration”).

(ii)Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS

500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.

(iii)Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address as the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.

bHearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by WDT or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or WDT is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.

cArbitration Fees. WDT shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or WDT) pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.

dAward in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or WDT seeks $75,000 or less in damages, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs, if the arbitrator’s decision results in an

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.

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.wd.com.

Voor service

WD hecht waarde aan uw zaak en zal altijd proberen u de beste service te bieden. Als dit product onderhoud vereist, kunt u contact opnemen met de dealer van wie u het product oorspronkelijk hebt gekocht of onze website voor productondersteuning op http://support.wd.com bezoeken voor informatie over het verkrijgen van service of een Return Material Authorization (RMA). Als wordt vastgesteld dat het product defect is, ontvangt u een RMA-nummer en instructies voor het terugsturen van het product. Retourzendingen waarvoor geen voorafgaande toestemming is verkregen (m.a.w. zonder RMA-nummer) worden op kosten van de koper geretourneerd. Retourzendingen met voorafgaande toestemming moeten op kosten van de koper en verzekerd verzonden worden in een goedgekeurde verzenddoos naar het adres dat in de verzenddocumentatie vermeld staat. U dient de originele doos en verpakkingsmaterialen te bewaren voor opslag of verzending van uw WD product. Controleer, om definitief de garantieperiode te kunnen vastleggen, de vervaldatum van de garantie (serienummer vereist) via http://support.wd.com. WD kan niet aansprakelijk gesteld worden voor verlies van data, ongeacht de oorzaak, het herstellen van verloren data, of data opgeslagen in welk Product dan ook dat bij WD in bezit is geplaatst.

Beperkte Garantie

WD garandeert dat het Product bij normaal gebruik vrij zal zijn van materiële en de afwerking betreffende defecten voor de hieronder gedefinieerde periode, en voldoet aan de specificaties van WD dienaangaande. De duur van deze beperkte garantie hangt af van het land waarin uw product is gekocht. In de regio Noord-, Zuiden Centraal-Amerika is de duur van deze beperkte garantie 1 jaar, in de regio Europa, hetMidden-Oosten en Afrika 2 jaar en in de regio Azië-Pacific 3 jaar, tenzij de wet anders voorschrijft. Deze beperkte garantieperiode start op de aankoopdatum zoals vermeld op de kassabon. WD kan naar eigen oordeel uitgebreide garanties te koop aanbieden. WD is niet aansprakelijk voor producten die worden geretourneerd wanneer WD bepaalt dat het product van WD is gestolen of dat het genoemde defect a) niet aanwezig is, b) niet op redelijke wijze kan worden verholpen door schade die zich heeft voorgedaan voordat WD het product ontving of c) te wijten is aan misbruik, onjuiste installatie, wijziging (inclusief verwijdering of vernietiging van labels en het openen of verwijderen van externe behuizingen, tenzij het product op de lijst voor producten met beperkte onderhoudsmogelijkheden voor gebruikers staat en de specifieke wijziging binnen de van toepassing zijnde instructies valt, zoals beschreven op http://support.wd.com), ongeluk of verkeerde hantering terwijl het product in het bezit is van iemand anders dan WD. Onderhevig aan de bovenstaande beperkingen betreft de enige en uitsluitende garantie waartoe u gerechtigd bent het herstel of de vervanging van het product door een equivalent of beter product tijdens de hierboven vermelde garantieperiode, en dit naar goeddunken van WD. De bovenstaande, door WD geboden garantie geldt voor herstelde of vervangen producten voor het resterende deel van de oorspronkelijke garantieperiode, dan wel negentig (90) dagen vanaf de datum van verzending van een hersteld of vervangen product, afhankelijk van welke periode het langste is.

De bovenstaande beperkte garantie is de enige garantie die door WD geboden wordt en geldt uitsluitend voor producten die als nieuw verkocht worden. De hier gegeven voorwaarden treden in de plaats van a) alle overige voorwaarden en garanties, uitdrukkelijk, stilzwijgend of geschreven, met inbegrip van maar niet beperkt tot, die voor verhandelbaarheid of geschiktheid voor een bepaald doel, en b) alle verplichtingen en vorderingen van WD voor schade, met inbegrip van maar niet beperkt tot indirecte, incidentele, of bijzondere schade, of schade door financiële verliezen, gederfde winst of besparingen, of verloren data voortvloeiende uit of verbandhoudende met de aankoop, het gebruik, of de prestatie van het Product, ook niet indien WD op de hoogte is gesteld van de mogelijkheid van dergelijke schade. In de Verenigde Staten staan sommige staten uitsluiting of beperking van incidentele of bijkomende schade niet toe, zodat het mogelijk is dat de bovenstaande beperkingen in uw geval niet gelden. Deze garantie biedt u specifieke rechten, en het is mogelijk dat u nog andere rechten hebt, aangezien deze van staat tot staat verschillen.
