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 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
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.
Limited Warranty
WD 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, unless otherwise required by law, and will
conform to WD’s specification therefor. This limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt. 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
authorized to do so by WD or an authorized service center), 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. 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.

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.
