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 3 years in the North, South and Central America region, 3 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. For any WD-
brand Solid State Drive (SSD) product (“SSD Product”), the warranty period expires
at the end of the earlier of: (a) the stated time period for the SSD Product
identified
above or (b) the point at which your use of the SSD Product exceeds the stated
endurance limit, as identified in the specifications for the SSD Product. In the event
of a conflict between this manual and the specifications, the specifications shall
take precedence. Please note, it is possible for a SSD Product to be used under
conditions which cause the media to wear out (and the warranty to expire) prior to
the expiration of the stated time period in the warranty period, as
specified in the
applicable endurance specification.
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 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 http://support.wd.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 with an equivalent or better 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.
