Warranty Information
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 website 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 
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 for the term defined 
below, be free from defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD’s 
specification therefor. The term of your limited warranty depends on the country in which 
your Product was purchased. The term of your limited warranty is for 2 years in the 
North, South and Central America region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and 
Africa region, and 3 years in the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. 
The term of your 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 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 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.
