USER MANUAL
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 three (3) years, 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,
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 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. 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.
