Limited Warranty

Western Digital warrants to the original end user that the hardware in the Platform Product (“Product”), when properly installed, used, and maintained, will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will substantially conform to Western Digital’s specifications for such Product during the Warranty Period, as described below. This Limited Warranty for HGST and Western Digital Brand Platform Products (the “Limited Warranty”) applies to new HGST and Western Digital Brand Products purchased through Western Digital’s authorized sales channel by the original end user for normal use and not for resale. The warranty is not transferrable from the original end user.

Warranty Exclusions

The Limited Warranty does not cover non conformance resulting from (i) misuse, accident, negligence, modification or alteration to the hardware; (ii) use of the Product outside Western Digital’s specified operating environment;(iii)failure to perform required maintenance or the improper performance of maintenance; or (iv) failures caused by a product for which Western Digital is not responsible. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error‐free operation or defects in design. There is no warranty for loss or damage of data. Data Recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the warranty returns process. The Limited Warranty does not cover support of the Product. Support for the Product may be purchased separately, under Western Digital’s support agreement terms and conditions and support offerings definitions.

Warranty Period

The Warranty Period for Western Digital’s offerings varies by product. The Warranty Period for specific HGST or Western Digital products, including the Product, can be found at www.westerndigital.com.

Warranty Remedies & Returns

Before seeking limited warranty service, users should first follow the troubleshooting procedures that Western Digital or your reseller/distributor provides.

Unless unavailable, Western Digital will provide replacements at the Field Replacement Unit (FRU) level. Western Digital will ship the FRUs transportation prepaid. FRUs may be previously used, repaired and tested to meet Western Digital’s specifications. Title to the FRU transfers upon delivery to the carrier at the Western Digital shipping point. Western Digital retains title to the returned Product. You are responsible for importation of the FRU, if applicable. Western Digital will not return the defective part, therefore, the end user is responsible for moving data to another media and/or deleting sensitive data before returning. Western Digital FRU is warranted for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.

If Western Digital cannot provide replacements at the FRU level, it may instead provide a product with at least equivalent capabilities to the failed Product. The equivalent product is warranted for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater. If Western Digital cannot provide a replacement at the FRU level or an equivalent product, it may instead provide the user with a credit based on the Product’s original purchase price and remaining warranty term. If Western Digital elects an equivalent product replacement or credit, user must return, and Western Digital must receive, the complete failed Product before such product or credit will be provided.

To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization, the applicable FRU, and ship‐to address by contacting the appropriate Call Center listed at http://www.westerndigital.com/support. Returns must be in Western Digital approved packaging. All returns for the Product must be sent to the Western Digital designated return location.

Western Digital Limited Warranty for HGST and Western Digital Brand Platform Products

Limited Warranty

PDF

Western Digital warrants to the original end user that the hardware in the Platform Product (“Product”), when properly installed, used, and maintained, will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will substantially conform to Western Digital’s specifications for such Product during the Warranty Period, as described below. This Limited Warranty for HGST and Western Digital Brand Platform Products (the “Limited Warranty”) applies to new HGST and Western Digital Brand Products purchased through Western Digital’s authorized sales channel by the original end user for normal use and not for resale. The warranty is not transferrable from the original end user.

Warranty Exclusions

The Limited Warranty does not cover nonconformance resulting from (i) misuse, accident, negligence, modification or alteration to the hardware; (ii) use of the Product outside Western Digital’s specified operating environment; (iii) failure to perform required maintenance or the improper performance of maintenance; or (iv) failures caused by a product for which Western Digital is not responsible. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation or defects in design. There is no warranty for loss or damage of data. Data Recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the warranty returns process. The Limited Warranty does not cover support of the Product. Support for the Product may be purchased separately, under Western Digital’s support agreement terms and conditions and support offerings definitions.

Warranty Period

The Warranty Period for Western Digital’s offerings varies by product. The Warranty Period for specific HGST or Western Digital products, including the Product, can be found at www.westerndigital.com. The Warranty Period for any spare parts purchased for the Products begins from the date of shipment from Western Digital, regardless of when the spare parts are actually installed for use.

Warranty Remedies & Returns

Before seeking limited warranty service, users should first follow the troubleshooting procedures that Western Digital or your reseller/distributor provides. Western Digital will provide replacements at the Field Replacement Unit (FRU) level. Western Digital will ship the FRUs transportation prepaid. FRUs may be previously used, repaired and tested to meet Western Digital’s specifications. Title to the FRU transfers upon delivery to the carrier at the Western Digital shipping point. Western Digital retains title to the returned Product. You are responsible for importation of the FRU, if applicable. Western Digital will not return the defective part, therefore, the end user is responsible for moving data to another media before returning. Western Digital FRU is warranted for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater. To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization, the applicable FRU, and ship-to address by contacting the appropriate Call Center listed at http://www.westerndigital.com/support. Returns must be in Western Digital approved packaging. All returns for the Product must be sent to the Western Digital designated return location. You are responsible for all transportation charges, duties and insurance in shipping the returned hardware to Western Digital. You should remove all personal information from the Product prior to its return.

Limitation of Liability/Exclusion of Certain Damages

OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, WESTERN DIGITAL DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. WESTERN DIGITAL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURNING TO YOU PRODUCT WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. WESTERN DIGITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND RESELLERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN BODILY INJURY INCLUDING DEATH AND TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY; 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. WESTERN DIGITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THE LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS AT ANY TIME.

Governing Law

This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any claim or dispute shall be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts in the County of Santa Clara, California. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

Western Digital Limited Warranty For Western Digital And WD Brand HDD Products

(see separate SanDisk Limited Warranty For Western Digital And WD Brand Flash Products)

Western Digital ("WD") values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service.

No limited warranty is provided by WD unless your Western Digital or WD brand HDD Product ("Product") was purchased from an authorized distributor or authorized reseller. Distributors may sell Products to resellers who then sell Products to end users. Please see below for warranty information or obtaining service. No warranty service is provided unless the Product is returned to an authorized return center in the region (warranty regions are identified as Canada, U.S.A., Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, India and Thailand) where the Product was first shipped by WD, which may have regional specific warranty implications.

If your Product was purchased as a component integrated within a system by a system manufacturer, no limited warranty is provided by WD. Please contact the place of purchase or the system manufacturer directly for warranty service.

Warranty Policy for Australia and New Zealand

Nothing in this warranty modifies or excludes your legal rights under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act or the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. This warranty identifies WD's preferred approach to resolving warranty claims which is likely to be quick and simple for all parties.

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. Please refer to this link to determine the term of your warranty period https://support-en.wd.com/app/Warranty_Policy#group3 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 https://support-en.wd.com), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD.

PRODUCTS ARE COMPLEX AND FRAGILE ITEMS THAT MAY OCCASIONALLY 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.

Western Digital Limited Warranty For Western Digital And WD Brand HDD Products

Western Digital ("WD") values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service.

No limited warranty is provided by WD unless your Western Digital or WD brand HDD Product ("Product") was purchased from an authorized distributor or authorized reseller. Distributors may sell Products to resellers who then sell Products to end users. Please see below for warranty information or obtaining service. No warranty service is provided unless the Product is returned to an authorized return center in the region (warranty regions are identified as Canada, U.S.A., Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, India and Thailand) where the Product was first shipped by WD, which may have regional specific warranty implications.

If your Product was purchased as a component integrated within a system by a system manufacturer, no limited warranty is provided by WD. Please contact the place of purchase or the system manufacturer directly for warranty service.

Warranty Policy for Australia and New Zealand

Nothing in this warranty modifies or excludes your legal rights under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act or the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act. This warranty identifies WD's preferred approach to resolving warranty claims which is likely to be quick and simple for all parties.

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. Please refer to this link to determine the term of your warranty period https://support-en.wd.com/app/Warranty_Policy#group3 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 https://support-en.wd.com), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD.

PRODUCTS ARE COMPLEX AND FRAGILE ITEMS THAT MAY OCCASIONALLY 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.

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.

Western Digital may replace your Product with a product that was previously used, repaired and tested to meet Western Digital specifications. You receive title to the replaced Product at delivery to the carrier at the Western Digital shipping point and Western Digital retains title to the returned Product. You are responsible for importation of the replaced Product, if applicable. Western Digital will not return the original drive to end users; therefore, the end user is responsible for moving data to another media before returning. Data Recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the warranty returns process. Western Digital warrants that the replaced Products are covered for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.
