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.
