I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program.

Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.

POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Berechtigung und Mitgliedschaft

Die Programmmitgliedschaft und ihre Vorteile werden nach dem alleinigen Ermessen von WD angeboten, und die Teilnahme am Programm unterliegt diesen Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen und allen anderen Regeln, Vorschriften, Richtlinien oder Verfahren, die WD nach eigenem Ermessen von Zeit zu Zeit beschließen kann (zusammenfassend die „Programmdetails“). Es liegt im alleinigen Ermessen von WD, diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen und alle Programmdetails auszulegen und anzuwenden, und alle diesbezüglichen Fragen oder Streitigkeiten werden von WD nach eigenem Ermessen entschieden.
WD kann die Programmbestimmungen zu jeder Zeit ohne Vorankündigung ändern. Diese Geschäftsbedingungen dürfen nur schriftlich modifiziert, ersetzt oder geändert werden.
Die Berechtigung für das Programm und die Mitgliedschaft daran werden nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD bestimmt. WD behält sich das Recht vor, allein nach eigenem Ermessen den Status der Mitgliedschaft eines Mitglieds zu bestimmen. Dazu zählen die Annahme eines Mitglieds in das Programm, die Beendigung der Mitgliedschaft eines Mitglieds sowie die Feststellung, ob ein Mitglied berechtigt ist, Vergütungen zu erhalten (oder ob ein solches Mitglied nur berechtigt ist, das Programm zu Informations- und Schulungszwecke zu benutzen).
Die Mitgliedschaft bei dem Programm ist allgemein Unternehmen, Organisationen und/oder Institutionen vorbehalten, welche die für die Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien erfüllen („Kunden“). Einzelpersonen (und bestimmte Online-Händler, die zur Verkaufsförderung in direkter Beziehung zu WD stehen), sind von der Mitgliedschaft am Programm ausgeschlossen.
Die zur Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien und die Stufen der Mitgliedschaft können sich von Land zu Land unterscheiden.
Von WD bezüglich Berechtigung, Mitgliedschaft und Beendigung der Mitgliedschaft getroffene Entscheidungen sind endgültig und nicht Gegenstand gerichtlicher Auseinandersetzung.
Das Programm bietet mehrere Kategorien und Stufen der Mitgliedschaft. Generell unterscheiden sich die zur Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien je nach Kategorie und Stufe. Die Berechtigungen für die Stufen der Mitgliedschaft werden nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD bestimmt. Die Kriterien und der Zeitraum für die Einstufung der Mitgliedsstufe sind in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto beschrieben.
Eventuell sind bestimmte Kunden aus folgenden Gründen nicht zur Teilnahme am Programm berechtigt: (i) wegen gültiger anderer Absprachen oder Vereinbarungen zum Vorteil solcher Kunden, (ii) durch geltende Landes-, Bundes- oder auswärtigen Gesetze, Regeln, Vorschriften, Ordnungen, Gesetzeswerke, Anordnungen oder Erlasse (z. B. Einschränkungen, die Regierungsbehörden daran hindern, an Programmen teilzunehmen, die Vergütungen oder Vergünstigungen bieten) oder (iii) wegen Nichterfüllung der von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen eingeführten qualifizierenden Kriterien.
Die autorisierten Distributoren von WD können sich bei dem Programm anmelden. Jedoch sind die autorisierten Distributoren von WD eventuell nicht berechtigt, sich in Verbindung mit ihrer Mitgliedschaft beim Programm Punkte (wie unten definiert) zu verdienen und sie einzulösen. Solche Mitglieder sind nur berechnet, das Programm für Informations- und Schulungszwecke zu benutzen (und die Mitgliedschaft solcher Mitglieder beim Programm wird darauf begrenzt).
WD behält sich das Recht vor, allein nach eigenem Ermessen ad hoc Anreiz- und Vergünstigungsprogramme zu schaffen und auszuführen, die unter Umständen vom Programm abweichen. Die Berechtigung zu solchen Anreiz- oder Vergünstigungsprogrammen wird von WD nach alleinigem Ermessen festgelegt.
Die durch dieses Programm gewährten Vergütungen sollen ausschließlich dem bei dem Programm angemeldeten Kunden zugute kommen. Einzelpersonen, die sich im Namen des Kunden beim Programm anmelden, müssen sicherstellen, dass alle einschlägigen Eigentümer und/oder Vertreter des Kunden über die Teilnahme des Kunden am Programm und vom Empfang etwaiger Vergünstigungen daraus benachrichtigt werden. Die Teilnahme am Programm ist in allen Fällen untersagt, in denen diese Teilnahme nicht einem autorisierten Eigentümer und/oder Vertreter des Kunden mitgeteilt und durch ihn genehmigt worden ist. Sie garantieren und legen dar, dass die Teilnahme an dem Programm Ihre Pflichten und Loyalität gegenüber dem Kunden nicht verletzen oder anderweitig Interessenkonflikte zwischen Ihnen und dem Kunden erzeugen würde. Falls die Teilnahme an dem Programm Interessenkonflikte zwischen Ihnen und dem Kunden verursacht oder Ihre Pflichten und Loyalität gegenüber dem Kunden verletzt, müssen Sie WD und den Kunden umgehend schriftlich davon in Kenntnis setzen.

II. Vorteile und Anreize

Die Vergünstigungen aus der Mitgliedschaft unterscheiden sich allgemein je nach Kategorie und Stufe der Mitgliedschaft und können je nach Land/Region variieren. WD kann die Anzahl der Punkte (wie unten definiert) deckeln, die sich gewisse Kunden verdienen können. Unter Umständen müssen Mitglieder auch bestimmte Gesamtpunktzahlen (und/oder minimale Punktzahldurchschnitte) erreichen, um zu bestimmten Vergünstigungsarten (wie unten definiert) berechtigt zu sein.
Programmpunkte verdienen
1. Mitglieder können Programmpunkte („Punkte“) sammeln, wenn sie bestimmte berechtigte WD Produkte im Neuzustand (nicht rezertifiziert und/oder generalüberholt) von WDs autorisierten Vertriebspartnern und/oder Verkäufern kaufen. Die Liste der WD Produkte, für die im Rahmen des Programms Punkte gesammelt werden können, wird im Mitgliedskonto für das jeweilige Land/die jeweilige Region des Mitglieds aufgeführt. WD kann die im Mitgliedskonto aufgeführten Produkte und/oder Punkte für solche Produkte jederzeit ohne vorherige Ankündigung und nach eigenem Ermessen ändern.
2. WD verwendet von den autorisierten Distributoren von WD angelieferte Umsatzberichte und/oder von Kunden bei WD eingereichte Registrierungsdaten als primäre Basis zur Bestimmung der Anzahl der Punkte, die sich ein Mitglied verdient. Allein nach eigenem Ermessen kann WD auch Berichte und Ressourcen, die es dafür für geeignet hält, dazu benutzen, die von einem Mitglied verdienten Punkte zu bestimmen oder zu überprüfen.
3. WD bestimmt allein nach eigenem Ermessen die gegebenenfalls Mitgliedern für geeignete Käufe gewährte Anzahl Punkte, und WD ist berechtigt, die Anzahl der für geeignete Käufe gewährten Punkte jederzeit zu ändern. Die Entscheidungen von WD dazu, ob ein Kauf sich für Punkte eignet und wie viele Punkte ein solcher Kauf eventuell einbringt, sind endgültig und unterliegen keiner gerichtlichen Überprüfung aus irgendeinem Grund durch das betreffende Mitglied oder irgendeinen Dritten, es sei den, nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD. WD behält sich das Recht vor, fehlerhaft gebuchte Punkte zu ändern.
4. Die Liste der für Punkte geeigneten WD-Produkte und die geeigneten Käufen zugeordneten Punktwerte können von Land zu Land oder je nach Stufe der Mitgliedschaft variieren, wie von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen festgelegt.
5. Punkte werden während jedes Punktesammelzeitraums verdient und angesammelt, wie im Mitgliedskonto nach dem Einloggen auf der Website angegeben („Programmzeitraum“). WÄHREND EINER BESTIMMTEN PROGRAMMPERIODE VERDIENTE PUNKTE WERDEN NUR DER PROGRAMMPERIODE ZUGEORDNET, IN DER SIE SICH ANGESAMMELT HABEN, UND KÖNNEN NICHT ZU ZWECKEN DES VERDIENENS ODER EINLÖSENS ZUR NÄCHSTEN PROGRAMMPERIODE VORGETRAGEN WERDEN, ES SEI DENN, DER PROGRAMMLEITFADEN BESTIMMT ES ANDERS.
Programmpunkte einlösen
1. Um Punkte gegen bestimmte, von WD in einem Mitgliedskonto ausgewiesene Prämien („Prämien“) einzulösen, muss ein Mitglied in einem Programmzeitraum eine Mindestanzahl von Punkten gesammelt haben. Die erforderliche Mindestanzahl von Punkten wird im Mitgliedskonto nach dem Einloggen auf der Website angegeben. Ein Mitglied kann Punkte gegen Prämien einlösen, wenn das Mitglied die von WD für die jeweilige Prämie vorgeschriebene Mindestpunktzahl erreicht oder überschritten hat. Ein Mitglied, das die geltende Mindestpunktzahl für einen bestimmten Programmzeitraum nicht erreicht, ist nicht berechtigt, Punkte für eine Prämie in diesem Programmzeitraum einzulösen, und alle Punkte, die das Mitglied in diesem Programmzeitraum gesammelt hat, verfallen zu Beginn eines neuen Programmzeitraums, sofern nicht anders angegeben.
2. Informationen über Prämien sind in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto verfügbar, nachdem Sie sich auf der Website angemeldet haben. WD kann die zur Einlösung verfügbaren Vergütungen zu jeder Zeit während des Programms ohne Vorankündigung ändern.
3. Weder Punkte von Vergütungen sind übertragbar.
4. Ein Mitglied hat nicht das Recht, Ersatz für eine Vergütung anzufordern oder zu verlangen. WD behält sich allein nach eigenem Ermessen das Recht vor, eine Vergütung durch eine andere mit gleichem oder höherem Wert zu ersetzen, wenn eine Vergütung nicht verfügbar ist (oder aus jedem anderen Grund).
5. Programmvergütungen stehen Mitgliedern nicht zur Verfügung, die nicht alle diese Geschäftsbedingungen erfüllt haben, wie es WD allein im eigenen Ermessen feststellt. Eventuell verlangt WD einen Nachweis der Erfüllung oder überprüft und inspiziert in Zeitabständen die Unterlagen eines Mitglieds, um die Befolgung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen durch das Mitglied zu bestätigen.
Andere Vergünstigungen der Mitgliedschaft
1. Informationen über alle weiteren Vorteile der Mitgliedschaft in einer Kategorie und/oder Stufe finden Sie in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto, nachdem Sie sich auf der Website angemeldet haben. Mitglieder in bestimmten Ländern können berechtigt sein, bestimmte WD Produkte zu einem ermäßigten Preis zu testen („Evaluierungsprogramm“). Der Rabatt des Evaluierungsprogramms kann nicht mit anderen Rabatten kombiniert werden. Bei einem Kauf im Rahmen des Evaluierungsprogramms können Steuern, Versand- und Bearbeitungsgebühren sowie andere Gebühren anfallen. Außerdem kann die Anzahl der verfügbaren WD Produkte pro berechtigtem Mitglied begrenzt sein. Das Mitglied nimmt zur Kenntnis und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass alle WD Produkte, die im Rahmen des Evaluierungsprogramms erworben werden, ausschließlich für die Verwendung durch das Mitglied bestimmt sind und nicht weiterverkauft werden dürfen.
2. WD kann zu jeder Zeit während des Programms ohne Vorankündigung Vergünstigungen der Mitgliedschaft ändern.

III. Änderung, Löschung und Beendigung

Das Programm wird so lange fortgesetzt, bis WD nach eigenem Ermessen ein Datum für die Beendigung des Programms festlegt. WD hat das Recht, das Programm jederzeit und aus beliebigem Grund durch eine Mitteilung auf der Website zu beenden. WD kann das Programm ohne eine solche Mitteilung ganz oder teilweise in jeder Rechtsordnung beenden, es sei denn, eine solche Mitteilung ist gesetzlich vorgeschrieben.
WD behält sich das Recht vor, in folgenden Fällen jede Mitgliedschaft, Vergütung und/oder alle etwaigen nicht eingelösten Punkte zurückzuziehen, zu annullieren oder suspendieren oder allein nach seinem uneingeschränkten Ermessen andere Maßnahmen zu ergreifen: (1) Verletzung dieser Programmbestimmungen durch das Mitglied, (2) Betrug oder Missbrauch in Verbindung mit dem Programm, dem Verdienen von Punkten oder dem Einlösen von Vergütungen, (3) falsche Darstellung irgendwelcher Informationen oder jeder Missbrauch dieses Programms, (4) Verletzung irgendeines Bundes-, Landes- oder lokalen Gesetzes oder einer entsprechenden Bestimmung in Verbindung mit der Nutzung von Mitgliedervergünstigungen, (5) Nichtbezahlung fälliger Rechnungen an WD, (6) Zahlung per Scheck an WD, der wegen fehlender Deckung abgewiesen wird oder aus einem anderen Grund ungültig ist, (7) Unterhalten von mehr als einem aktiven Konto durch ein Mitglied, (8) physische, verbale oder schriftliche Misshandlung von WD-Personal oder (9) Handlungen zum Schaden von WD in irgendeiner anderen Weise – jeweils wie von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen festgestellt. Zusätzlich zur Einstellung der Programm-Mitgliedschaft hat WD das Recht, angemessen auf dem Behörden- oder Gerichtsweg vorzugehen, insbesondere durch strafrechtliche Verfolgung, wie es ihm allein nach eigenem Ermessen notwendig erscheint. Unter Berücksichtigung geltenden Rechts endet die Mitgliedschaft automatisch, wenn ein Mitglied Konkurs beantragt oder in anderer Weise einem Konkursverfahren unterliegt.
Bei einer beendeten, annullierten oder abgebrochenen Mitgliedschaft gehen alle angesammelten Punkte verloren, und das Konto des Mitglieds wird gelöscht. Wenn WD das Konto eines Mitglieds aus irgendeinem Grund annulliert, darf das Mitglied keine neue Mitgliedschaft beantragen, und ein etwaiges, im Namen des Mitglieds eröffnetes Konto und in diesem Konto verdiente Punkte gehen verloren, wenn dies entdeckt wird.
Wenn ein Mitglied seine Mitgliedschaft annulliert oder wenn sein Konto wegen Inaktivität geschlossen wird, kann das Mitglied zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder eine Mitgliedschaft beantragen. Es erhält aber keine Punkte zurück, die es mit seiner vorherigen Mitgliedschaft hat verfallen lassen.

VI. Zusätzliche Bedingungen

Allgemeines
1. Ein Versäumen von WD, irgendein Recht oder eine Bestimmung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen geltend zu machen, stellt keinen Verzicht auf dieses Recht oder diese Bestimmung dar. WD kann die Geschäftsbedingungen und/oder den Programmleitfaden zu jeder Zeit ändern, indem es die geänderten Geschäftsbedingungen beziehungsweise den geänderten Programmleitfaden auf dieser Website veröffentlicht. Wenn ein Mitglied die Website nach der Veröffentlichung irgendwelcher Änderungen an diesen Geschäftsbedingungen oder an dem Programmleitfaden weiterhin nutzt, begründet dies die Zustimmung des Mitglieds zu solchen Änderungen. Die aktuellste Version dieser Geschäftsbedingungen lässt sich zu jeder Zeit in Augenschein nehmen. Klicken Sie dazu auf den auf der Website verfügbaren Link „Geschäftsbedingungen“.
2. Alle Fragen und Kontroversen im Zusammenhang mit diesen Geschäftsbedingungen werden von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen geklärt.
3. WD behält sich das Recht vor zu überprüfen, ob Mitglieder jederzeit die Bedingungen ihrer Berechtigung befolgt haben, sowie das Recht, die Teilnahme von Mitgliedern am Programm zu überwachen, um die Befolgung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen sicherzustellen. WD behält sich auch das Recht vor, jede Information, die es von Mitgliedern durch das Programm erhält, so zu prüfen, zurückzuhalten oder offen zu legen, wie es zur Erfüllung aller einschlägigen Gesetze, Verordnungen, Rechtsgänge und behördlichen Anordnungen erforderlich ist. Anrufe bei Kundenservice-Teams von WD oder von ihnen können zu Trainings- und Sicherheitszwecken mitgehört und/oder aufgezeichnet werden.
4. Falls WD, seine Tochtergesellschaften oder seine Vertretungen allein nach eigenem Ermessen feststellen, dass sie das Vorliegen elektronischer Fälschung im Programm vermuten, oder falls dies tatsächlich der Fall war, oder falls technische Schwierigkeiten die Integrität des Programms beeinträchtigen, kann WD das Programm abbrechen oder ändern oder verdächtigte Mitgliedschaften löschen. Jeder Versuch eines Mitglieds oder irgendeiner anderen Person, einer Website willentlich zu schaden oder den legitimen Betrieb des Programms zu sabotieren, stellt einen Bruch von Straf- und Zivilgesetzen dar. WD behält sich das Recht vor, die verantwortliche Partei oder verantwortlichen Parteien bis zum größten rechtlich zulässigen Ausmaß in Regress zu nehmen.
5. WD lehnt die Verantwortung für unvollständige oder falsche Angaben von Mitgliedern sowie für technische Fehlfunktionen der Telefonnetzwerke oder der Software (oder einer Kombination von beiden) sowie für verlorene, verzögert übermittelte oder verfälsche Daten ab. WD ist nicht für typografische oder drucktechnische Fehler in irgendwelchem Material in Verbindung mit dem Programm verantwortlich. WD übernimmt keine Verantwortung für beschädigte, verloren gegangene oder fehlgeleitete E-Mails, Postsendungen oder Faxe. Absendebestätigungen von E-Mails, Postsendungen und Faxen sind keine Empfangsbestätigungen.
6. Das Mitglied bleibt in jeder Hinsicht ein unabhängiger Auftragnehmer, und es wird keine Partnerschaft, Agentur, Vertrieb, Joint Venture oder Arbeitnehmer/Arbeitgeber-Beziehung beabsichtigt oder impliziert. Das Mitglied wird zu keinem Zweck als Angestellter oder Vertreter von WD handeln oder sich als solcher ausgeben, noch ist es befugt, für oder im Namen von WD zu handeln. Das Mitglied ist nicht berechtigt, befugt oder bevollmächtigt, im Namen von WD zu handeln oder eine ausdrückliche oder stillschweigende Verpflichtung einzugehen. Ohne das Vorstehende einzuschränken, erkennt das Mitglied an, dass die Verwendung des Begriffs „Partner“ in den Programmunterlagen keine rechtliche Partnerschaft oder treuhänderische Beziehung zwischen den Parteien begründet oder impliziert. Das Mitglied verpflichtet sich, WD zu verteidigen und von allen Ansprüchen freizustellen, die sich aus dem Verhalten des Mitglieds ergeben.
7. Das Mitglied ist verpflichtet, bei der Erfüllung seiner Pflichten im Rahmen dieses Vertrages angemessene Anstrengungen zu unternehmen, um die Eigentumsrechte und Eigentumsinteressen von WD zu schützen, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf die Rechte an geistigem Eigentum von WD.

Das Mitglied darf WD Produkte nur für den vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck verkaufen. Darüber hinaus verpflichtet sich das Mitglied, nur legitime WD Produkte zu verkaufen und keine gefälschten WD Produkte zu verkaufen oder andere dazu zu ermutigen. Ein Verstoß gegen die in diesem Absatz genannten Verpflichtungen berechtigt WD, diese Vereinbarung zu kündigen und/oder die Herausgabe der durch einen solchen Verstoß erlangten Gegenstände zu verlangen und/oder den Ersatz des WD entstandenen Schadens zu fordern.
8. Die englischsprachige Version dieser Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen hat Vorrang vor allen Übersetzungen. Diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen sind weder ganz noch teilweise durch das Mitglied abtretbar, sei es kraft Gesetzes, durch Änderung der Beteiligungsverhältnisse oder anderweitig. Jeder Versuch des Mitglieds, diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen abzutreten, ist null und nichtig und kann nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD zum Ausschluss des Mitglieds aus dem Programm führen. WD kann nach eigenem Ermessen alle oder einen Teil seiner Rechte, Titel und Interessen im Rahmen dieser Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen an eine seiner Tochtergesellschaften oder an einen Dritten abtreten.
9. Das Mitglied erkennt an, dass Produkte, Software und Technologie von WD den Export- und Importkontrollen gemäß den Gesetzen und Vorschriften der Vereinigten Staaten, der Europäischen Union und anderer Länder unterliegen, und das Mitglied wird sich strikt an alle derartigen Exportkontroll- und Importgesetze und -vorschriften halten.

Das Mitglied erklärt sich ferner damit einverstanden, dass die Produkte, Software und Technologie von WD Verschlüsselungsfunktionen enthalten können und daher zusätzlichen Ausfuhr- und Einfuhrbeschränkungen unterliegen, und dass das Mitglied für die Einhaltung aller Beschränkungen und behördlichen Anforderungen verantwortlich ist.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.

Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors.

WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time.

Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.

Redeeming Program Points

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion.

Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program.

Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors.

WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time.

WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.

POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.

Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion.

Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time.

WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.

5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time.

WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.

5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Nárok a členství

Členství v programu a jeho výhody jsou nabízeny výhradně dle uvážení společnosti WD a účast v programu podléhá těmto smluvním podmínkám a veškerým dalším pravidlům, předpisům, zásadám nebo postupům, které může společnost WD podle svého uvážení příležitostně přijmout (společně „informace o programu“). Společnost WD má výhradní právo vykládat a uplatňovat tyto smluvní podmínky a veškeré informace o programu a všechny příslušné dotazy nebo spory, které se jich týkají, bude řešit společnost WD dle svého výhradního uvážení.
Společnost WD může podklady k programu kdykoliv bez upozornění měnit. Tyto podmínky mohou být upraveny, nahrazeny nebo měněny pouze písemně.
O splnění podmínek členství rozhoduje společnost WD. Společnost WD si vyhrazuje právo dle svého uvážení určit status člena, včetně přijetí člena do programu, ukončení členství v programu, a rozhodnout, zda má člen právo na odměnu (nebo zda bude členovi umožněno používat program pouze k vyhledání informací a instrukcí).
Členství v programu je většinou umožněno podnikům, organizacím či institucím, které splňují kritéria pro členství (dále jako „zákazníci“). Jednotlivci (a konkrétní online prodejci, kteří mají přímý obchodní vztah se společností WD) se nemohou stát členy programu.
Kritéria pro získání členství a úrovně členství se mohou v každé zemi lišit.
Rozhodnutí společnosti WD ohledně splnění požadavků pro členství, členství a ukončení členství jsou konečná a nelze se proti nim odvolat.
Program nabízí řadu kategorií a úrovní členství. Kritéria pro získání členství jsou většinou pro každou kategorii a úroveň jiná. O splnění podmínek úrovně členství rozhoduje společnost WD. Kritéria a časové období pro klasifikaci úrovně členství jsou uvedeny ve vašem členském účtu.
Někteří zákazníci nemusí splňovat podmínky přijetí do programu kvůli (i) dalším dohodám či smlouvám ve prospěch těchto zákazníků; (ii) omezením vyplývajícím z příslušných místních, státních, federálních či zahraničních zákonů, předpisů, nařízení, vyhlášek, zákoníků či výnosů (např. nařízení zakazující vládním úřadům účastnit se programů nabízejících odměny a výhody) nebo (iii) nesplnění kritérií společnosti WD.
Autorizovaní distributoři společnosti WD se mohou do programu přihlásit. Nemohou však v souvislosti se členstvím v programu získávat a uplatňovat body (jak je popsáno níže). Takoví členové mohou program využívat pouze k (a takové členství v programu bude omezeno pouze na) získávání informací a instrukcí.
Společnost WD si vyhrazuje právo dle vlastního uvážení vytvořit pouze k tomuto účelu nabídku nebo systémy odměn, které se mohou od programu lišit. O nároku na tyto nabídky či systémy odměn rozhodne dle svého uvážení společnost WD.
Odměny poskytované v rámci tohoto programu jsou určeny výhradně pro zákazníky, kteří se do programu přihlásili. Jednotlivci, kteří se do programu přihlásí jménem zákazníka musí zajistit, aby všichni vlastníci a zástupci zákazníka věděli o účasti zákazníka v programu a obdržených odměnách či výhodách. Účast v programu je zakázána v případech, kdy nebyla schválena a oznámena oprávněnému vlastníkovi nebo zástupci zákazníka. Slibujete, že účast v programu nenaruší vaši loajalitu vůči zákazníkovi ani nezpůsobí konflikt zájmů mezi vámi a zákazníkem. Dojde-li kvůli účasti v programu ke konfliktu zájmů či narušení loajality vůči zákazníkovi, musíte neprodleně písemně upozornit společnost WD i zákazníka.

II. Výhody a pobídky

Výhody plynoucí ze členství se liší podle kategorií a úrovní členství a mohou se lišit také v jednotlivých zemích či oblastech. Společnost WD může omezit počet bodů, které může jednotlivý člen získat (jak je popsáno níže). Může být také požadováno, aby členové dosáhli určitého počtu bodů (nebo minimálního průměru bodů) a měli tak nárok na obdržení určitých typů odměn (jak je stanoveno níže).
Získávání bodů v programu
1. Členové mohou získávat programové body (dále jako „body“), když zakoupí určité způsobilé produkty společnosti WD v novém stavu (nikoli opětovně certifikované či repasované) od prodejce nebo autorizovaného prodejce společnosti WD. Seznam produktů společnosti WD, které jsou způsobilé k získání bodů v programu, bude dostupný v členském účtu pro příslušnou zemi nebo region člena. Společnost WD může produkty nebo body za tyto produkty uvedené v členském účtu kdykoli, bez upozornění a podle svého vlastního uvážení změnit.WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
2. Společnost WD bude používat prodejní zprávy, které jí poskytnou autorizovaní distributoři, nebo registrační údaje zákazníků, které byly společnosti WD zaslány jako podklady pro určení počtu bodů, které člen získá. Společnost WD může také dle vlastního uvážení použít jiné zprávy a zdroje, které považuje za vhodné k určení nebo kontrole získaných bodů člena.The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
3. Společnost WD dle vlastního uvážení rozhodne o počtu bodů (pokud člen nějaké získá), které budou členům přiděleny za požadované nákupy, a má právo počet přidělených bodů kdykoliv změnit. Rozhodnutí o splnění požadavků na získání bodů za nákup a počtu přidělených bodů je konečné a člen ani třetí strana jej za žádných okolností nemohou zpochybňovat, pouze společnost WD dle vlastního uvážení. Společnost WD si vyhrazuje právo napravit nesprávně přidělený počet bodů.
4. Seznam vybraných produktů, za jejichž koupi jsou přidělovány body, a počet přidělených bodů za takový nákup se mohou v jednotlivých zemích či na úrovních členství lišit, jak rozhodne dle svého uvážení společnost WD.
5. Body se získávají a sčítají za každé období pro získávání bodů, jak je uvedeno v členském účtu po přihlášení k webovým stránkám (dále jako „doba trvání programu“). BODY ZÍSKANÉ BĚHEM DOBY TRVÁNÍ PROGRAMU SE BUDOU VZTAHOVAT POUZE NA DOBU TRVÁNÍ PROGRAMU, V RÁMCI KTERÉ BYLY ZÍSKÁNY, A NEMOHOU BÝT PŘENESENY DO DOBY TRVÁNÍ DALŠÍHO PROGRAMU ZA ÚČELEM PŘIDĚLENÍ ANI UPLATNĚNÍ, NENÍ-LI V PŘÍRUČCE K PROGRAMU UVEDENO JINAK.
Uplatnění bodů získaných v rámci programu
1. Aby bylo možné uplatnit body za určité odměny uvedené společností WD v členském účtu (dále jako „odměny“), musí člen nasbírat minimální počet bodů za dobu trvání programu. Minimální požadovaný počet bodů je uveden v členském účtu po přihlášení k webovým stránkám. Člen může uplatnit body za odměny, pokud splní nebo překročí minimální požadovaný počet bodů k uplatnění, který určila společnost WD pro konkrétní odměnu. Člen, kterému se nepodaří dosáhnout příslušného minimálního požadovaného počtu bodů během konkrétní doby trvání programu, nemá nárok na uplatnění bodů za jakoukoli odměnu za tuto dobu trvání programu a všechny body, které člen za tuto dobu trvání programu získal, na začátku nové doby trvání programu propadnou, pokud není uvedeno jinak.
2. Informace o odměnách jsou dostupné ve vašem členském účtu po přihlášení k webovým stránkám. Společnost WD může odměny dostupné za uplatnění bodů kdykoliv během doby trvání programu bez předchozího upozornění změnit.
3. Body ani odměny nelze převádět.
4. Člen nemá právo požadovat za odměnu náhradu. Společnost WD si vyhrazuje právo dle vlastního uvážení nahradit odměnu adekvátní odměnou nebo odměnou vyšší hodnoty, pokud je původní odměna nedostupná (nebo z jiného důvodu).
5. Odměny v rámci programu nebudou poskytovány členům, kteří nedodrželi tyto podmínky, o čemž rozhodne společnost WD. Společnost WD může příležitostně požadovat důkaz o dodržení podmínek nebo kontrolu záznamů člena, aby se ujistila, že podmínky dodržuje.
Další výhody členství
1. Informace o případných dalších výhodách členství v kategorii nebo úrovni jsou dostupné ve vašem členském účtu po přihlášení k webovým stránkám. Členové v určitých zemích mohou mít nárok na vyzkoušení určitých produktů společnosti WD za zlevněnou cenu (dále jako „zkušební program“). Slevy ve zkušebním programu nelze kombinovat s žádnými dalšími slevami. Na nákupy ve zkušebním programu se mohou vztahovat daně, poplatky za dopravu, manipulaci a další poplatky. Také mohou platit omezení počtu produktů společnosti WD, které jsou dostupné jednomu způsobilému členovi. Člen si je toho vědom a souhlasí s tím, že veškeré produkty společnosti WD zakoupené v rámci zkušebního programu jsou určeny pouze k jeho použití a nesmějí být dále prodávány.
2. Společnost WD může výhody členství během doby trvání programu kdykoliv bez předchozího upozornění změnit.

III. Změny, zrušení a ukončení

Program bude pokračovat do doby, než se společnost WD podle svého vlastního uvážení rozhodne určit datum ukončení programu. Společnost WD má právo program kdykoli a z jakéhokoli důvodu ukončit oznámením na webových stránkách. Společnost WD může program zcela nebo částečně ukončit i bez tohoto oznámení, a to v libovolné jurisdikci, pokud příslušné zákony oznámení nevyžadují.
Společnost WD si vyhrazuje právo neuznat, zrušit či pozastavit členství, odměnu nebo neuplatněné body nebo podniknout dle svého uvážení jiné kroky v následujících případech: (1) porušení podkladů k programu; (2) podvod či zneužití týkající se programu, získávání bodů či získávání odměn; (3) nesprávná interpretace informací či zneužití programu; (4) porušení národního, státního nebo místního zákona či nařízení v souvislosti s využíváním členských výhod; (5) nezaplacení jakékoliv splatné částky společnosti WD; (6) platba šekem, který nebyl proplacen pro nedostatečnou hotovost nebo je z jiného důvodu neplatný; (7) správa více než jednoho aktivního účtu na člena; (8) fyzické, verbální nebo písemné napadení pracovníka společnosti WD nebo (9) postup, který způsobí újmu programu nebo společnosti WD, jak rozhodne dle svého uvážení společnost WD. Kromě ukončení členství v programu má společnost WD právo podniknout adekvátní administrativní a právní kroky, mimo jiné včetně trestní stíhání, jak uzná dle vlastního uvážení za vhodné. V souladu s příslušnými zákony skončí členství automaticky, jakmile člen ohlásí bankrot nebo s ním bude zahájeno konkurzní řízení.
Přerušené, zrušené nebo ukončené členství bude znamenat ztrátu všech nasbíraných bodů a uzavření členského účtu. Jestliže společnost WD z jakéhokoliv důvodu členský účet zruší, nemůže člen o členství znovu požádat a všechny účty otevřené jeho jménem a na něm nasbírané body propadnou.
Pokud člen své členství ukončí nebo je jeho účet uzavřen kvůli nečinnosti, může později o členství znovu zažádat, ale nebudou mu přepsány body, které v rámci předchozího členství propadly.

Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

I. Berechtigung und Mitgliedschaft

Die Programmmitgliedschaft und ihre Vorteile werden nach dem alleinigen Ermessen von WD angeboten, und die Teilnahme am Programm unterliegt diesen Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen und allen anderen Regeln, Vorschriften, Richtlinien oder Verfahren, die WD nach eigenem Ermessen von Zeit zu Zeit beschließen kann (zusammenfassend die „Programmdetails“). Es liegt im alleinigen Ermessen von WD, diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen und alle Programmdetails auszulegen und anzuwenden, und alle diesbezüglichen Fragen oder Streitigkeiten werden von WD nach eigenem Ermessen entschieden.
WD kann die Programmbestimmungen zu jeder Zeit ohne Vorankündigung ändern. Diese Geschäftsbedingungen dürfen nur schriftlich modifiziert, ersetzt oder geändert werden.
Die Berechtigung für das Programm und die Mitgliedschaft daran werden nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD bestimmt. WD behält sich das Recht vor, allein nach eigenem Ermessen den Status der Mitgliedschaft eines Mitglieds zu bestimmen. Dazu zählen die Annahme eines Mitglieds in das Programm, die Beendigung der Mitgliedschaft eines Mitglieds sowie die Feststellung, ob ein Mitglied berechtigt ist, Vergütungen zu erhalten (oder ob ein solches Mitglied nur berechtigt ist, das Programm zu Informations- und Schulungszwecke zu benutzen).
Die Mitgliedschaft bei dem Programm ist allgemein Unternehmen, Organisationen und/oder Institutionen vorbehalten, welche die für die Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien erfüllen („Kunden“). Einzelpersonen (und bestimmte Online-Händler, die zur Verkaufsförderung in direkter Beziehung zu WD stehen), sind von der Mitgliedschaft am Programm ausgeschlossen.
Die zur Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien und die Stufen der Mitgliedschaft können sich von Land zu Land unterscheiden.
Von WD bezüglich Berechtigung, Mitgliedschaft und Beendigung der Mitgliedschaft getroffene Entscheidungen sind endgültig und nicht Gegenstand gerichtlicher Auseinandersetzung.
Das Programm bietet mehrere Kategorien und Stufen der Mitgliedschaft. Generell unterscheiden sich die zur Mitgliedschaft qualifizierenden Kriterien je nach Kategorie und Stufe. Die Berechtigungen für die Stufen der Mitgliedschaft werden nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD bestimmt. Die Kriterien und der Zeitraum für die Einstufung der Mitgliedsstufe sind in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto beschrieben.
Eventuell sind bestimmte Kunden aus folgenden Gründen nicht zur Teilnahme am Programm berechtigt: (i) wegen gültiger anderer Absprachen oder Vereinbarungen zum Vorteil solcher Kunden, (ii) durch geltende Landes-, Bundes- oder auswärtigen Gesetze, Regeln, Vorschriften, Ordnungen, Gesetzeswerke, Anordnungen oder Erlasse (z. B. Einschränkungen, die Regierungsbehörden daran hindern, an Programmen teilzunehmen, die Vergütungen oder Vergünstigungen bieten) oder (iii) wegen Nichterfüllung der von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen eingeführten qualifizierenden Kriterien.
Die autorisierten Distributoren von WD können sich bei dem Programm anmelden. Jedoch sind die autorisierten Distributoren von WD eventuell nicht berechtigt, sich in Verbindung mit ihrer Mitgliedschaft beim Programm Punkte (wie unten definiert) zu verdienen und sie einzulösen. Solche Mitglieder sind nur berechnet, das Programm für Informations- und Schulungszwecke zu benutzen (und die Mitgliedschaft solcher Mitglieder beim Programm wird darauf begrenzt).
WD behält sich das Recht vor, allein nach eigenem Ermessen ad hoc Anreiz- und Vergünstigungsprogramme zu schaffen und auszuführen, die unter Umständen vom Programm abweichen. Die Berechtigung zu solchen Anreiz- oder Vergünstigungsprogrammen wird von WD nach alleinigem Ermessen festgelegt.
Die durch dieses Programm gewährten Vergütungen sollen ausschließlich dem bei dem Programm angemeldeten Kunden zugute kommen. Einzelpersonen, die sich im Namen des Kunden beim Programm anmelden, müssen sicherstellen, dass alle einschlägigen Eigentümer und/oder Vertreter des Kunden über die Teilnahme des Kunden am Programm und vom Empfang etwaiger Vergünstigungen daraus benachrichtigt werden. Die Teilnahme am Programm ist in allen Fällen untersagt, in denen diese Teilnahme nicht einem autorisierten Eigentümer und/oder Vertreter des Kunden mitgeteilt und durch ihn genehmigt worden ist. Sie garantieren und legen dar, dass die Teilnahme an dem Programm Ihre Pflichten und Loyalität gegenüber dem Kunden nicht verletzen oder anderweitig Interessenkonflikte zwischen Ihnen und dem Kunden erzeugen würde. Falls die Teilnahme an dem Programm Interessenkonflikte zwischen Ihnen und dem Kunden verursacht oder Ihre Pflichten und Loyalität gegenüber dem Kunden verletzt, müssen Sie WD und den Kunden umgehend schriftlich davon in Kenntnis setzen.

II. Vorteile und Anreize

Die Vergünstigungen aus der Mitgliedschaft unterscheiden sich allgemein je nach Kategorie und Stufe der Mitgliedschaft und können je nach Land/Region variieren. WD kann die Anzahl der Punkte (wie unten definiert) deckeln, die sich gewisse Kunden verdienen können. Unter Umständen müssen Mitglieder auch bestimmte Gesamtpunktzahlen (und/oder minimale Punktzahldurchschnitte) erreichen, um zu bestimmten Vergünstigungsarten (wie unten definiert) berechtigt zu sein.
Programmpunkte verdienen
1. Mitglieder können Programmpunkte („Punkte“) sammeln, wenn sie bestimmte berechtigte WD Produkte im Neuzustand (nicht rezertifiziert und/oder generalüberholt) von WDs autorisierten Vertriebspartnern und/oder Verkäufern kaufen. Die Liste der WD Produkte, für die im Rahmen des Programms Punkte gesammelt werden können, wird im Mitgliedskonto für das jeweilige Land/die jeweilige Region des Mitglieds aufgeführt. WD kann die im Mitgliedskonto aufgeführten Produkte und/oder Punkte für solche Produkte jederzeit ohne vorherige Ankündigung und nach eigenem Ermessen ändern.
2. WD verwendet von den autorisierten Distributoren von WD angelieferte Umsatzberichte und/oder von Kunden bei WD eingereichte Registrierungsdaten als primäre Basis zur Bestimmung der Anzahl der Punkte, die sich ein Mitglied verdient. Allein nach eigenem Ermessen kann WD auch Berichte und Ressourcen, die es dafür für geeignet hält, dazu benutzen, die von einem Mitglied verdienten Punkte zu bestimmen oder zu überprüfen.
3. WD bestimmt allein nach eigenem Ermessen die gegebenenfalls Mitgliedern für geeignete Käufe gewährte Anzahl Punkte, und WD ist berechtigt, die Anzahl der für geeignete Käufe gewährten Punkte jederzeit zu ändern. Die Entscheidungen von WD dazu, ob ein Kauf sich für Punkte eignet und wie viele Punkte ein solcher Kauf eventuell einbringt, sind endgültig und unterliegen keiner gerichtlichen Überprüfung aus irgendeinem Grund durch das betreffende Mitglied oder irgendeinen Dritten, es sei den, nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD. WD behält sich das Recht vor, fehlerhaft gebuchte Punkte zu ändern.
4. Die Liste der für Punkte geeigneten WD-Produkte und die geeigneten Käufen zugeordneten Punktwerte können von Land zu Land oder je nach Stufe der Mitgliedschaft variieren, wie von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen festgelegt.
5. Punkte werden während jedes Punktesammelzeitraums verdient und angesammelt, wie im Mitgliedskonto nach dem Einloggen auf der Website angegeben („Programmzeitraum“). WÄHREND EINER BESTIMMTEN PROGRAMMPERIODE VERDIENTE PUNKTE WERDEN NUR DER PROGRAMMPERIODE ZUGEORDNET, IN DER SIE SICH ANGESAMMELT HABEN, UND KÖNNEN NICHT ZU ZWECKEN DES VERDIENENS ODER EINLÖSENS ZUR NÄCHSTEN PROGRAMMPERIODE VORGETRAGEN WERDEN, ES SEI DENN, DER PROGRAMMLEITFADEN BESTIMMT ES ANDERS.
Programmpunkte einlösen
1. Um Punkte gegen bestimmte, von WD in einem Mitgliedskonto ausgewiesene Prämien („Prämien“) einzulösen, muss ein Mitglied in einem Programmzeitraum eine Mindestanzahl von Punkten gesammelt haben. Die erforderliche Mindestanzahl von Punkten wird im Mitgliedskonto nach dem Einloggen auf der Website angegeben. Ein Mitglied kann Punkte gegen Prämien einlösen, wenn das Mitglied die von WD für die jeweilige Prämie vorgeschriebene Mindestpunktzahl erreicht oder überschritten hat. Ein Mitglied, das die geltende Mindestpunktzahl für einen bestimmten Programmzeitraum nicht erreicht, ist nicht berechtigt, Punkte für eine Prämie in diesem Programmzeitraum einzulösen, und alle Punkte, die das Mitglied in diesem Programmzeitraum gesammelt hat, verfallen zu Beginn eines neuen Programmzeitraums, sofern nicht anders angegeben.
2. Informationen über Prämien sind in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto verfügbar, nachdem Sie sich auf der Website angemeldet haben. WD kann die zur Einlösung verfügbaren Vergütungen zu jeder Zeit während des Programms ohne Vorankündigung ändern.
3. Weder Punkte von Vergütungen sind übertragbar.
4. Ein Mitglied hat nicht das Recht, Ersatz für eine Vergütung anzufordern oder zu verlangen. WD behält sich allein nach eigenem Ermessen das Recht vor, eine Vergütung durch eine andere mit gleichem oder höherem Wert zu ersetzen, wenn eine Vergütung nicht verfügbar ist (oder aus jedem anderen Grund).
5. Programmvergütungen stehen Mitgliedern nicht zur Verfügung, die nicht alle diese Geschäftsbedingungen erfüllt haben, wie es WD allein im eigenen Ermessen feststellt. Eventuell verlangt WD einen Nachweis der Erfüllung oder überprüft und inspiziert in Zeitabständen die Unterlagen eines Mitglieds, um die Befolgung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen durch das Mitglied zu bestätigen.
Andere Vergünstigungen der Mitgliedschaft
1. Informationen über alle weiteren Vorteile der Mitgliedschaft in einer Kategorie und/oder Stufe finden Sie in Ihrem Mitgliedskonto, nachdem Sie sich auf der Website angemeldet haben. Mitglieder in bestimmten Ländern können berechtigt sein, bestimmte WD Produkte zu einem ermäßigten Preis zu testen („Evaluierungsprogramm“). Der Rabatt des Evaluierungsprogramms kann nicht mit anderen Rabatten kombiniert werden. Bei einem Kauf im Rahmen des Evaluierungsprogramms können Steuern, Versand- und Bearbeitungsgebühren sowie andere Gebühren anfallen. Außerdem kann die Anzahl der verfügbaren WD Produkte pro berechtigtem Mitglied begrenzt sein. Das Mitglied nimmt zur Kenntnis und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, dass alle WD Produkte, die im Rahmen des Evaluierungsprogramms erworben werden, ausschließlich für die Verwendung durch das Mitglied bestimmt sind und nicht weiterverkauft werden dürfen.
2. WD kann zu jeder Zeit während des Programms ohne Vorankündigung Vergünstigungen der Mitgliedschaft ändern.

III. Änderung, Löschung und Beendigung

Das Programm wird so lange fortgesetzt, bis WD nach eigenem Ermessen ein Datum für die Beendigung des Programms festlegt. WD hat das Recht, das Programm jederzeit und aus beliebigem Grund durch eine Mitteilung auf der Website zu beenden. WD kann das Programm ohne eine solche Mitteilung ganz oder teilweise in jeder Rechtsordnung beenden, es sei denn, eine solche Mitteilung ist gesetzlich vorgeschrieben.
WD behält sich das Recht vor, in folgenden Fällen jede Mitgliedschaft, Vergütung und/oder alle etwaigen nicht eingelösten Punkte zurückzuziehen, zu annullieren oder suspendieren oder allein nach seinem uneingeschränkten Ermessen andere Maßnahmen zu ergreifen: (1) Verletzung dieser Programmbestimmungen durch das Mitglied, (2) Betrug oder Missbrauch in Verbindung mit dem Programm, dem Verdienen von Punkten oder dem Einlösen von Vergütungen, (3) falsche Darstellung irgendwelcher Informationen oder jeder Missbrauch dieses Programms, (4) Verletzung irgendeines Bundes-, Landes- oder lokalen Gesetzes oder einer entsprechenden Bestimmung in Verbindung mit der Nutzung von Mitgliedervergünstigungen, (5) Nichtbezahlung fälliger Rechnungen an WD, (6) Zahlung per Scheck an WD, der wegen fehlender Deckung abgewiesen wird oder aus einem anderen Grund ungültig ist, (7) Unterhalten von mehr als einem aktiven Konto durch ein Mitglied, (8) physische, verbale oder schriftliche Misshandlung von WD-Personal oder (9) Handlungen zum Schaden von WD in irgendeiner anderen Weise – jeweils wie von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen festgestellt. Zusätzlich zur Einstellung der Programm-Mitgliedschaft hat WD das Recht, angemessen auf dem Behörden- oder Gerichtsweg vorzugehen, insbesondere durch strafrechtliche Verfolgung, wie es ihm allein nach eigenem Ermessen notwendig erscheint. Unter Berücksichtigung geltenden Rechts endet die Mitgliedschaft automatisch, wenn ein Mitglied Konkurs beantragt oder in anderer Weise einem Konkursverfahren unterliegt.
Bei einer beendeten, annullierten oder abgebrochenen Mitgliedschaft gehen alle angesammelten Punkte verloren, und das Konto des Mitglieds wird gelöscht. Wenn WD das Konto eines Mitglieds aus irgendeinem Grund annulliert, darf das Mitglied keine neue Mitgliedschaft beantragen, und ein etwaiges, im Namen des Mitglieds eröffnetes Konto und in diesem Konto verdiente Punkte gehen verloren, wenn dies entdeckt wird.
Wenn ein Mitglied seine Mitgliedschaft annulliert oder wenn sein Konto wegen Inaktivität geschlossen wird, kann das Mitglied zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder eine Mitgliedschaft beantragen. Es erhält aber keine Punkte zurück, die es mit seiner vorherigen Mitgliedschaft hat verfallen lassen.

VI. Zusätzliche Bedingungen

Allgemeines
1. Ein Versäumen von WD, irgendein Recht oder eine Bestimmung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen geltend zu machen, stellt keinen Verzicht auf dieses Recht oder diese Bestimmung dar. WD kann die Geschäftsbedingungen und/oder den Programmleitfaden zu jeder Zeit ändern, indem es die geänderten Geschäftsbedingungen beziehungsweise den geänderten Programmleitfaden auf dieser Website veröffentlicht. Wenn ein Mitglied die Website nach der Veröffentlichung irgendwelcher Änderungen an diesen Geschäftsbedingungen oder an dem Programmleitfaden weiterhin nutzt, begründet dies die Zustimmung des Mitglieds zu solchen Änderungen. Die aktuellste Version dieser Geschäftsbedingungen lässt sich zu jeder Zeit in Augenschein nehmen. Klicken Sie dazu auf den auf der Website verfügbaren Link „Geschäftsbedingungen“.
2. Alle Fragen und Kontroversen im Zusammenhang mit diesen Geschäftsbedingungen werden von WD allein nach eigenem Ermessen geklärt.
3. WD behält sich das Recht vor zu überprüfen, ob Mitglieder jederzeit die Bedingungen ihrer Berechtigung befolgt haben, sowie das Recht, die Teilnahme von Mitgliedern am Programm zu überwachen, um die Befolgung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen sicherzustellen. WD behält sich auch das Recht vor, jede Information, die es von Mitgliedern durch das Programm erhält, so zu prüfen, zurückzuhalten oder offen zu legen, wie es zur Erfüllung aller einschlägigen Gesetze, Verordnungen, Rechtsgänge und behördlichen Anordnungen erforderlich ist. Anrufe bei Kundenservice-Teams von WD oder von ihnen können zu Trainings- und Sicherheitszwecken mitgehört und/oder aufgezeichnet werden.
4. Falls WD, seine Tochtergesellschaften oder seine Vertretungen allein nach eigenem Ermessen feststellen, dass sie das Vorliegen elektronischer Fälschung im Programm vermuten, oder falls dies tatsächlich der Fall war, oder falls technische Schwierigkeiten die Integrität des Programms beeinträchtigen, kann WD das Programm abbrechen oder ändern oder verdächtigte Mitgliedschaften löschen. Jeder Versuch eines Mitglieds oder irgendeiner anderen Person, einer Website willentlich zu schaden oder den legitimen Betrieb des Programms zu sabotieren, stellt einen Bruch von Straf- und Zivilgesetzen dar. WD behält sich das Recht vor, die verantwortliche Partei oder verantwortlichen Parteien bis zum größten rechtlich zulässigen Ausmaß in Regress zu nehmen.
5. WD lehnt die Verantwortung für unvollständige oder falsche Angaben von Mitgliedern sowie für technische Fehlfunktionen der Telefonnetzwerke oder der Software (oder einer Kombination von beiden) sowie für verlorene, verzögert übermittelte oder verfälsche Daten ab. WD ist nicht für typografische oder drucktechnische Fehler in irgendwelchem Material in Verbindung mit dem Programm verantwortlich. WD übernimmt keine Verantwortung für beschädigte, verloren gegangene oder fehlgeleitete E-Mails, Postsendungen oder Faxe. Absendebestätigungen von E-Mails, Postsendungen und Faxen sind keine Empfangsbestätigungen.
6. Das Mitglied bleibt in jeder Hinsicht ein unabhängiger Auftragnehmer, und es wird keine Partnerschaft, Agentur, Vertrieb, Joint Venture oder Arbeitnehmer/Arbeitgeber-Beziehung beabsichtigt oder impliziert. Das Mitglied wird zu keinem Zweck als Angestellter oder Vertreter von WD handeln oder sich als solcher ausgeben, noch ist es befugt, für oder im Namen von WD zu handeln. Das Mitglied ist nicht berechtigt, befugt oder bevollmächtigt, im Namen von WD zu handeln oder eine ausdrückliche oder stillschweigende Verpflichtung einzugehen. Ohne das Vorstehende einzuschränken, erkennt das Mitglied an, dass die Verwendung des Begriffs „Partner“ in den Programmunterlagen keine rechtliche Partnerschaft oder treuhänderische Beziehung zwischen den Parteien begründet oder impliziert. Das Mitglied verpflichtet sich, WD zu verteidigen und von allen Ansprüchen freizustellen, die sich aus dem Verhalten des Mitglieds ergeben.
7. Das Mitglied ist verpflichtet, bei der Erfüllung seiner Pflichten im Rahmen dieses Vertrages angemessene Anstrengungen zu unternehmen, um die Eigentumsrechte und Eigentumsinteressen von WD zu schützen, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf die Rechte an geistigem Eigentum von WD. Das Mitglied darf die Seriennummer auf einem WD Produkt oder dessen Verpackung weder unkenntlich machen noch in irgendeiner Weise verändern. Das Mitglied darf WD Produkte nur für den vorgesehenen Verwendungszweck verkaufen. Darüber hinaus verpflichtet sich das Mitglied, nur legitime WD Produkte zu verkaufen und keine gefälschten WD Produkte zu verkaufen oder andere dazu zu ermutigen. Ein Verstoß gegen die in diesem Absatz genannten Verpflichtungen berechtigt WD, diese Vereinbarung zu kündigen und/oder die Herausgabe der durch einen solchen Verstoß erlangten Gegenstände zu verlangen und/oder den Ersatz des WD entstandenen Schadens zu fordern.
8. Die englischsprachige Version dieser Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen hat Vorrang vor allen Übersetzungen. Diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen sind weder ganz noch teilweise durch das Mitglied abtretbar, sei es kraft Gesetzes, durch Änderung der Beteiligungsverhältnisse oder anderweitig. Jeder Versuch des Mitglieds, diese Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen abzutreten, ist null und nichtig und kann nach alleinigem Ermessen von WD zum Ausschluss des Mitglieds aus dem Programm führen. WD kann nach eigenem Ermessen alle oder einen Teil seiner Rechte, Titel und Interessen im Rahmen dieser Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen an eine seiner Tochtergesellschaften oder an einen Dritten abtreten.
9. Das Mitglied erkennt an, dass Produkte, Software und Technologie von WD den Export- und Importkontrollen gemäß den Gesetzen und Vorschriften der Vereinigten Staaten, der Europäischen Union und anderer Länder unterliegen, und das Mitglied wird sich strikt an alle derartigen Exportkontroll- und Importgesetze und -vorschriften halten.

Ein solcher Zugang, eine solche Prüfung und ein solches Audit müssen in Bezug auf Umfang, Ort, Datum und Zeit angemessen sein.

2. Die Mitglieder erklären sich damit einverstanden, dass WD, seine verbundenen Unternehmen, der Programmadministrator und alle Prämienanbieter die Kontaktinformationen der Mitglieder, einschließlich Namen, Telefonnummern, E-Mail-Adressen und andere Informationen, die WD im Rahmen des Programms zur Verfügung gestellt werden (zusammenfassend als „Mitgliederinformationen“ bezeichnet), überall dort, wo sie geschäftlich tätig sind, in Übereinstimmung mit der Datenschutzerklärung von WD (https://www.westerndigital.com/legal/privacy-statement) speichern und verwenden.

2. Jeden unberechtigten Gebrauch seines Benutzernamens, Passworts oder Benutzerkontos muss ein Mitglied WD unverzüglich mitteilen. WD übernimmt keine Haftung für etwaige Verluste, die ein Mitglied als Ergebnis davon erleidet, dass jemand anderes den Benutzernamen, das Passwort oder das Konto des Mitglieds benutzt.
Herrschendes Recht
1. Das Programm, die Website und diese Geschäftsbedingungen unterliegen, ungeachtet Bestimmungen zu Gesetzeskollisionen, den Gesetzen des Bundesstaates Kalifornien der USA.

2. Die Mitgliedschaft, die Vergünstigungen der Mitgliedschaft und Auszeichnungen werden nach Treu und Glauben angeboten, eventuell sind sie jedoch nicht verfügbar, wenn geltendes Recht oder Vorschriften in den USA oder im Heimatland eines Mitglieds sie ausschließen oder limitieren. Falls ein rechtlich zuständiges Gericht irgendeine Bestimmung dieser Geschäftsbedingungen aus irgendeinem Grund als uneinklagbar befindet, ist diese Bestimmung bis zu dem maximal zulässigen Ausmaß durchzusetzen, um die Absichten dieser Geschäftsbedingungen zu bewirken, und der Rest dieser Geschäftsbedingungen bleibt voll rechtskräftig und wirksam.

Alle Änderungsvorschläge oder Verbesserungen an WD Produkten oder Werbematerialien, die das Mitglied an WD übermittelt, gehen in das ausschließliche Eigentum von WD über und können von WD nach eigenem Ermessen genutzt oder nicht genutzt werden, ohne dass eine Vergütung oder eine Nennung des Mitglieds erforderlich ist. WD hat das alleinige und ausschließliche Recht, seine Marken, Urheberrechte, Patente, Geschäftsgeheimnisse und sonstigen geschützten Informationen und Rechte zu schützen. Auf Verlangen von WD wird das Mitglied WD jede angemessene Unterstützung und Zusammenarbeit in Bezug auf solche von WD ergriffenen Maßnahmen gewähren. Ohne die vorherige schriftliche Zustimmung von WD, die nach dem alleinigen und uneingeschränkten Ermessen von WD erteilt oder verweigert werden kann, ist das Mitglied nicht berechtigt, sich in Bezug auf die oben genannten Angelegenheiten und Fragen zu verteidigen oder eine Klage einzureichen. Das Mitglied erkennt an und erklärt sich damit einverstanden, keine Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, die den Status von Marken, Urheberrechten, Dienstleistungsmarken oder Handelsnamen von WD gefährden könnten. Mit der Beendigung, dem Widerruf, der Kündigung oder der Stornierung der Mitgliedschaft des Mitglieds im Programm wird die Mitgliederlizenz hiermit sofort beendet, und das Mitglied stellt unverzüglich jegliche Nutzung von Warenzeichen, Dienstleistungsmarken, Handelsnamen oder Urheberrechten ein, für die WD die Zustimmung zur Nutzung erteilt hatte.
3. Vorbehaltlich der Bestimmungen dieser Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gewährt das Mitglied WD hiermit ein weltweites, nicht ausschließliches, nicht übertragbares, unterlizenzierbares, gebührenfreies Recht und eine Lizenz zur Nutzung, Reproduktion und Darstellung der Marke(n) und Urheberrechte des Mitglieds während der Laufzeit des Programms auf jeder Website oder in allen Werbe-, Anzeigen-, Flyer-, Dokumentations-, Foto-, Film-, Video- und sonstigen Materialien, die von WD in Verbindung mit der Vermarktung, dem Verkauf, der Werbung und dem Vertrieb von WD Produkten (z.

I. Requisitos y pertenencia

La pertenencia al Programa y sus beneficios se ofrecen a la entera discreción de WD, y la participación en el Programa está sujeta a estos Términos y Condiciones, y a cualquier otra disposición, regulación, política o procedimiento que WD pueda, a su discreción, adoptar de vez en cuando (colectivamente, los “Detalles del Programa”). La interpretación y aplicación de estos Términos y Condiciones y cualquier Detalle del Programa quedan a la entera discreción de WD, y todas las preguntas o conflictos relacionados con los mismos serán resueltos por WD a su entera discreción.
WD puede modificar los Detalles del programa en cualquier momento y sin previo aviso. Estos Términos y condiciones pueden ser modificados, reemplazados o cambiados únicamente por escrito.
La elegibilidad y la adhesión al Programa serán determinados únicamente por WD. WD se reserva el derecho exclusivo de determinar el estatus de adhesión del Miembro, incluyendo la aceptación del Miembro en el Programa, la terminación del Miembro en el Programa y la determinación de si un Miembro tiene derecho a recibir premios (o si dicho Miembro tiene derecho a utilizar el Programa para fines informativos y de formación únicamente).
La adhesión al Programa está disponible generalmente para empresas, organizaciones o instituciones que satisfacen los criterios de adhesión ("Clientes"). Los particulares (y ciertos revendedores en Internet que tengan una relación promocional directa con WD) están excluidos de la pertenencia al Programa.
Los criterios que otorgan la calificación de adhesión y los niveles de adhesión pueden diferir de país a país.
Las decisiones tomadas por WD respecto a la elegibilidad, adhesión y su terminación, son finales.
El Programa cuenta con múltiples categorías y niveles de pertenencia. Los criterios de pertenencia difieren, en general, para cada categoría y nivel. El cumplimiento de los requisitos para el nivel del programa lo determinará WD a su entera discreción. Los criterios y el período de tiempo para la clasificación del nivel del programa se describen en tu cuenta de Miembro.
Ciertos Clientes pueden no ser elegibles para participar en el Programa debido a (i) otros acuerdos vigentes en beneficio de dichos Clientes; (ii) restricciones impuestas por leyes, normas, regulaciones, códigos o decretos locales, estatales, federales o extranjeros aplicables (p.ej. restricciones que prohíben a departamentos del gobierno participar en programas que ofrecen premios o beneficios); o (iii) el incumplimiento de los criterios de calificación impuestos por WD a su único criterio.
Los distribuidores autorizados de WD pueden inscribirse en el Programa. Sin embargo, los distribuidores autorizados de WD pueden no tener derecho a ganar y canjear puntos (como se define a continuación) en relación con su adhesión en el Programa. Dichos Miembros tienen derecho solamente a utilizar el Programa (y la adhesión de dichos Miembros estará limitada) para fines informativos y de formación.
WD se reserva el derecho exclusivo de crear y ejecutar en cualquier momento programas de incentivos o beneficios diferentes del Programa. La elegibilidad para dichos programas de incentivos o beneficios será determinada exclusivamente por WD.
Los premios ofrecidos por este Programa son únicamente para el beneficio del Cliente inscrito en el Programa. Los individuos que se inscriban en el Programa en nombre de un Cliente, deben asegurar que todos los propietarios y representantes sean notificados de la participación del Cliente y de la recepción de cualquier beneficio del Programa. La participación en el Programa queda prohibida si no ha sido autorizada ni comunicada al propietario o representante del Cliente. Usted garantiza y representa que la participación en el Programa no contraria su deber de lealtad al Cliente, o de otra manera crea conflictos de interés entre usted y el Cliente. Debe notificar de inmediato a WD y el Cliente por escrito si la participación en el Programa creara un conflicto de intereses o perjudicara su deber de lealtad hacia el Cliente.

II. Beneficios e incentivos

Los beneficios de la adhesión generalmente difieren entre las diferentes categorías y niveles de adhesión, y pueden variar por país o región. WD puede limitar el número de Puntos (como se define a continuación) que ciertos Miembros pueden ganar. Los Miembros pueden ser requeridos a lograr ciertos totales de Puntos (y/o un mínimo de promedio de Puntos) para ser elegibles para ciertos tipos de Premios (como se define a continuación).
Obtención de Puntos en el Programa
1. Los Miembros pueden obtener puntos del Programa (“Puntos”) cuando compran determinados productos de WD aptos en estado original (no recertificados y/o reacondicionados) de los distribuidores y/o Vendedores autorizados de WD. La lista de productos de WD aptos para obtener Puntos en el Programa se establecerá en la cuenta de Miembro para el país/región aplicable al Miembro. WD puede cambiar los productos y/o Puntos para dichos productos establecidos en la cuenta del Miembro en cualquier momento, sin previo aviso y a su entera discreción.
2. WD utilizará los informes de ventas proporcionados por los distribuidores autorizados de WD y la información de registro del Cliente enviada a WD como el criterio principal para determinar el número de Puntos ganados por un Miembro. WD puede utilizar otros informes y recursos cuando lo crea apropiado, para determinar o auditar los Puntos ganados del Miembro, a su exclusivo criterio.
3. WD determinará, a su único criterio, el número de Puntos ganados por los Miembros por las compras participantes, y WD tendrá el derecho de cambiar el número de Puntos ganados en las compras elegibles en cualquier momento. Las decisiones de WD sobre la elegibilidad de una compra para obtener Puntos y cuántos son los Puntos asignados, son finales. Ni el Miembro afectado ni un tercero puede objetar las decisiones. WD se reserva el derecho de corregir los Puntos publicados por error.
4. La lista de productos WD elegibles para obtener Puntos y los valores de Puntos asignados pueden variar según el país o el nivel de adhesión, tal y como lo determine WD a su exclusiva discreción.
5. Los Puntos se obtendrán y acumularán durante cada período de obtención de puntos, según lo establecido en la cuenta de Miembro después de iniciar sesión en el Sitio (“Período del Programa”). LOS PUNTOS OBTENIDOS DURANTE UN PERÍODO DEL PROGRAMA EN PARTICULAR SE ATRIBUIRÁN ÚNICAMENTE AL PERÍODO DEL PROGRAMA EN EL QUE SE ACUMULARON Y NO PODRÁN TRANSFERIRSE AL SIGUIENTE PERÍODO DEL PROGRAMA PARA FINES DE OBTENCIÓN O CANJE, A MENOS QUE SE ESPECIFIQUE LO CONTRARIO.
Canjeo de Puntos del programa
1. i. Para canjear Puntos por ciertas recompensas enumeradas por WD en la cuenta de un Miembro (“Recompensas”), un Miembro debe haber acumulado un número mínimo de Puntos en un Período del Programa. El número mínimo de Puntos requeridos se describe en la cuenta de Miembro después de iniciar sesión en el Sitio. Un Miembro puede canjear Puntos por Recompensas si ha alcanzado o superado el número mínimo de Puntos requerido para el canje, según lo establecido por WD para la Recompensa específica. Un Miembro que no cumpla con el requisito de Puntos mínimos aplicable para un Período del Programa específico no podrá canjear Puntos por ninguna Recompensa durante ese Período del Programa, y todos los puntos obtenidos por el Miembro durante ese Período del Programa se perderán al comienzo de un nuevo Período del Programa, a menos que se especifique lo contrario.
2. ii. La información sobre las Recompensas está disponible en tu cuenta de Miembro tras iniciar sesión en el Sitio. WD puede modificar las Recompensas disponibles para el canje en cualquier momento durante el Programa sin previo aviso.
3. Ni los Puntos ni los Premios son transferibles.
4. Un Miembro no tiene derecho a solicitar la sustitución de un Premio. WD se reserva el derecho de sustituir un Premio de igual o mayor valor si un Premio no estuviera disponible (o por alguna otra razón) a su exclusivo criterio.
5. Los Premios del programa no estarán disponibles para los Miembros que no hayan satisfecho todos estos Términos y condiciones, tal y como lo determine WD a su único criterio. WD puede solicitar la prueba del cumplimiento o puede auditar e inspeccionar los registros de un Miembro para confirmar el cumplimiento de estos Términos y condiciones por parte del Miembro.
Otros beneficios del Miembro
1. La información sobre cualquier ventaja adicional de la pertenencia a una categoría y/o nivel está disponible en tu cuenta de Miembro tras iniciar sesión en el Sitio. Los Miembros de ciertos países podrán evaluar ciertos productos de WD a un precio con descuento (“Programa de Evaluación”). Los descuentos del Programa de Evaluación no pueden combinarse con ningún otro descuento. Es posible que se apliquen impuestos, gastos de envío, manipulación y otros cargos a una compra del Programa de Evaluación. También pueden aplicarse limitaciones al número de productos de WD disponibles para cada Miembro que cumpla las condiciones. El Miembro entiende y acepta que cualquier producto de WD adquirido a través del Programa de Evaluación es para uso exclusivo del Miembro y no puede revenderse.
2. WD puede modificar los beneficios de la adhesión en cualquier momento durante el Programa sin aviso previo.

III. Modificación, cancelación y terminación

El Programa continuará hasta el momento en que WD, a su entera discreción, decida designar una fecha de finalización del Programa. WD se reserva el derecho de finalizar el Programa en cualquier momento, por cualquier razón, mediante una notificación en el Sitio. WD puede finalizar el Programa sin dicha notificación, en su totalidad o en parte, en cualquier jurisdicción, a menos que la ley aplicable establezca de otro modo la necesidad de una notificación.
WD se reserva el derecho de derogar, cancelar o suspender cualquier adhesión, Premio o Puntos sin canjear, o adoptar otra acción a su único criterio, en el caso de: (1) violación de los Términos y condiciones del programa por parte del Miembro; (2) fraude o abuso relacionado con el Programa, la obtención de Puntos o el canjeo de Premios; (3) distorsión de la información o mal uso de este Programa; (4) violación de cualquier ley o regulación nacional, estatal o local en relación con el uso de los privilegios de la adhesión; (5) impago de facturas adecuadas a WD; (6) pago de un cheque a WD que sea devuelto por no tener fondos o no sea válido por cualquier otra razón; (7) mantenimiento de más de una cuenta activa por Miembro; (8) abuso físico, verbal o escrito hacia el personal de WD; o (9) cualquier acción que suponga un perjuicio para el Programa o WD; según determine WD a su único criterio. Además de discontinuar la adhesión al Programa, WD tendrá el derecho a adoptar las acciones administrativas o legales apropiadas, incluidas, entre otras, la acusación criminal, si lo considera necesario y a su único criterio. Sujeto a la ley aplicable, la adhesión terminará automáticamente si el Miembro solicita la bancarrota o es sometido a ella.
La discontinuación, cancelación o terminación de la adhesión conllevará la pérdida de todos los Puntos acumulados al cierre de la cuenta del Miembro. Si WD cancela la cuenta de un Miembro por cualquier razón, el Miembro no podrá volver a solicitar una adhesión, y cualquier cuenta abierta a nombre del Miembro y los Puntos ganados serán anulados.
Si un Miembro cancela su adhesión o si su cuenta se cierra debido a la inactividad, el Miembro podrá volver a solicitar la adhesión en una fecha posterior, pero no podrá recuperar los Puntos anulados de su anterior adhesión.

IV. Limitación de responsabilidad

Al canjear un Premio, el Miembro acuerda que WD y sus afiliados y sus respectivos directivos, directores, empleados, representantes y agentes (colectivamente, las "Partes exoneradas") no serán responsables ante los Miembros ni cualquier otra persona por daños o pérdidas de ningún tipo, incluidas lesiones o muerte o daños a la propiedad, que sean provocadas total o parcialmente, directa o indirectamente, por una acción u omisión relacionada con el Programa o el Premio.
Las Partes exoneradas no son responsables de (a) pérdida, malversación o retraso en la entrega de la correspondencia o Premio del Miembro; (b) robo u canjeo no autorizado de puntos o Premios o uso del Premio causado por circunstancias que escapan al control razonable de WD, las partes exoneradas, sus representantes y agentes; (c) cualquier acto u omisión de terceras partes; o (d) cualquier error publicado en relación con los Premios o el Programa, incluidos, entre otros, errores tipográficos, de descripción y relativos a las compras o Premios elegibles. WD se reserva el derecho a corregir cualquier error sin previo aviso.
En ningún caso las Partes exoneradas serán responsables ante los Miembros del retraso o el fallo en sus responsabilidades debido a causas que escapan al control de WD, incluidos, entre otros, fenómenos naturales, guerras, desastres naturales, climatología, terrorismo o cualquier acto u omisión de un tercero. La única compensación disponible para el Miembro relacionada con el Programa (tanto si la reclamación del Miembro se basa en derecho o en equidad) será la acreditación de los Puntos de la cuenta del Miembro del Programa en una cantidad no superior al número de Puntos en cuestión.
Sin limitación de lo anteriormente indicado y a excepción de lo específicamente determinado de otra manera en estos Términos y condiciones, los Premios se proveen "tal cual" sin garantía de ningún tipo, de manera expresa o implícita, incluidas, entre otras, las garantías implícitas de comerciabilidad, adecuación a un propósito en particular o cumplimiento de la ley. Algunas jurisdicciones pueden no permitir la limitación o exclusión de responsabilidad por daños incidentales o consecuentes, o la exclusión de garantías implícitas. Consulte las leyes locales por si hubiera restricciones o limitaciones respecto a estas limitaciones o exclusiones.
Esta sección permanecerá en vigor tras la terminación de la participación de un Miembro en el Programa.
El Miembro es responsable de todos los impuestos (federales, estatales, locales y extranjeros) ocasionados con motivo del canjeo de Premios por el Miembro en este Programa.

I. Eligibility and Membership

L'iscrizione al Programma e i relativi vantaggi sono concessi a esclusiva discrezione di WD e la partecipazione al Programma è soggetta ai presenti Termini e condizioni e ad altre norme, regolamenti, politiche o procedure che WD può, a sua discrezione, adottare di volta in volta (collettivamente, i "Dettagli del Programma"). WD ha la facoltà esclusiva di interpretare e applicare i presenti Termini e condizioni e i Dettagli del programma, e tutte le relative questioni o controversie saranno risolte da WD a sua esclusiva discrezione.
WD si riserva il diritto di modificare i Dettagli del Programma in qualsiasi momento e senza preavviso. Eventuali modifiche, abrogazioni o variazioni ai presenti Termini e condizioni saranno effettuati esclusivamente per iscritto.
L'idoneità al Programma ed all'associazione saranno determinati da WD, a sua sola discrezione. WD si riserva, a sua sola discrezione, il diritto di determinare lo status di associazione di un Socio, incluso l'accettazione di questi nel Programma, la sua esclusione dal Programma e la decisione in merito al diritto o meno di un Socio di ricevere i premi (ovvero la sua idoneità alla fruizione del Programma esclusivamente a scopo informativo e didattico).
L'associazione al Programma di solito è prevista per aziende, organizzazioni e/o istituzioni che abbiano i requisiti necessari (“Clienti”). I privati (e taluni rivenditori online che intrattengono una relazione promozionale diretta con WD) sono esclusi dall'associazione al Programma.
I criteri per l'idoneità all'associazione e i livelli di associazione possono differire da un paese all'altro.
Le decisioni assunte da WD in merito all'idoneità, l'associazione e la terminazione dell'associazione sono definitive e insindacabili.
Il Programma prevede diverse categorie e livelli di iscrizione. I criteri di idoneità degli iscritti variano generalmente in base alle categorie e ai livelli. L'idoneità per l’adesione al programma sarà determinata a esclusiva discrezione di WD. I criteri e il periodo di tempo per la classificazione del livello di fedeltà sono descritti nell'account del Cliente iscritto.
Taluni Clienti potranno non essere idonei alla partecipazione al Programma in ragione di (i) disposizioni o accordi diversi in vigore a vantaggio dei Clienti stessi; (ii) limitazioni imposte dalle pertinenti normative locali, statali, federali o estere, regole, regolamenti, ordinanze, codici, ordini o decreti (ad es. limitazioni che vietano alle agenzie governative la partecipazione a programmi che offrono premi o benefit); o (iii) la mancanza dei requisiti d'idoneità previsti da WD, a sua sola discrezione.
I distributori autorizzati di WD possono iscriversi al Programma. Essi, tuttavia, possono non essere autorizzati a raccogliere e riscattare i Punti (v. definizione nel seguito) correlati all'associazione al Programma. I suddetti Soci sono autorizzati a fruire del Programma esclusivamente a fini informativi e didattici (e la loro associazione sarà limitata unicamente a queste finalità).
WD si riserva, a sua esclusiva discrezione, il diritto di costituire ed erogare programmi di benefit o incentivi ad hoc diversi dal Programma. L'idoneità per i suddetti programmi di benefit o incentivi ad hoc sarà determinata da WD, a sua esclusiva discrezione.
I compensi previsti dal Programma sono ad esclusivo beneficio del Cliente iscritto al Programma. I singoli che si registrano al Programma per conto del Cliente devono assicurarsi che a tutti i proprietari e/o rappresentanti del Cliente sia notificata la partecipazione dello stesso e il ricevimento di qualsiasi benefit correlato al Programma. La partecipazione al Programma è vietata, in qualsiasi circostanza, qualora non sia stata autorizzata e concessa a un proprietario e/o rappresentante di un Cliente. La controparte dichiara e garantisce che la partecipazione al Programma non pregiudica la sua fedeltà al Cliente né crea conflitti d'interesse tra la controparte e il Cliente. Qualora la partecipazione a un evento in Programma crei un conflitto d'interesse o pregiudichi la fedeltà della controparte al Cliente, la controparte è tenuta a segnalarlo tempestivamente, per iscritto, a WD e al Cliente.

II. Benefits and Incentives

I benefit correlati all'associazione in genere differiscono in base ai livelli ed alle categorie dei Soci e possono variare in base al paese ed alla regione. WD può ricapitolare il numero di Punti (v. nel seguito ) eventualmente accumulati da taluni Soci. Il raggiungimento di un totale minimo di Punti (e/o medie minime di Punti) può essere tra i requisiti d'idoneità per ricevere alcuni tipi di Premi (v. nel seguito).
Raccolta di Punti del Programma
1. I membri possono guadagnare punti del Programma ("Punti") quando acquistano determinati prodotti WD idonei in condizioni nuove (non ricertificati e/o ricondizionati) presso i distributori e/o i fornitori autorizzati di WD. L'elenco dei prodotti WD idonei all'accumulo di Punti nel Programma sarà riportato nell'account del Cliente iscritto in base al relativo Paese/alla relativa area geografica. WD può modificare i prodotti e/o i Punti per tali prodotti indicati nell'account del Cliente iscritto in qualsiasi momento, senza preavviso e a sua esclusiva discrezione.
2. WD utilizzerà i rapporti di vendita forniti dai suoi distributori autorizzati e/o le informazioni di registrazione del Cliente presentate, come base primaria per determinare il numero di Punti raccolti da un Socio. WD potrà, altresì, a sua sola discrezione, utilizzare altri rapporti e risorse che ritenga appropriati per determinare o monitorare i Punti accumulati da un Socio.
3. WD determinerà, a sua sola discrezione, l'eventuale numero di Punti concessi ai Socio per gli acquisti idonei e potrà, in qualsiasi istante, cambiare il numero di Punti concessi per gli acquisti idonei. Le decisioni di WD in merito alla idoneità o mancata idoneità di un acquisto a produrre Punti, nonché alla quantità di Punti accumulabili tramite l'acquisto, sono definitive e insindacabili a prescindere dal motivo, dal Membro interessato o da terzi, fatte salve eventuali decisioni assunte da WD a sua esclusiva discrezione. WD si riserva il diritto di revocare eventuali Punti concessi per errore.
4. L'elenco dei prodotti WD idonei per ottenere Punti e il valore dei Punti assegnati per gli acquisti idonei possono variare da paese a paese o in base al livello di associazione, secondo quanto stabilito da WD a sua sola discrezione.
5. I punti verranno guadagnati e accumulati durante ciascun periodo di accumulo punti, come indicato nell'account del Cliente iscritto dopo l'accesso al Sito ("Periodo del Programma"). I PUNTI ACCUMULATI DURANTE UNO SPECIFICO PERIODO DEL PROGRAMMA SARANNO ATTRIBUITI ESCLUSIVAMENTE AL PERIODO IN CUI SONO STATI MATURATI E NON POTRANNO ESSERE CUMULATI AL SUCCESSIVO PERIODO DEL PROGRAMMA A SCOPO DI ACCRESCERE IL PUNTEGGIO O RISCATTARE I PREMI, A MENO CHE LA GUIDA AL PROGRAMMA NON SPECIFICHI ALTRIMENTI.
Riscatto dei Punti del Programma
1. Per poter riscattare i Punti per determinati premi stabiliti da WD all'interno dell'account di un Cliente iscritto ("Premi"), quest’ultimo deve aver accumulato un numero minimo di Punti durante un Periodo del Programma. Il numero minimo di Punti richiesto è indicato nell'account del Cliente iscritto e può essere visualizzato dopo avere eseguito all'accesso al Sito. Un Cliente iscritto può riscattare Punti per i Premi se ha raggiunto o superato il minimo dei Punti richiesto per il riscatto, soglia stabilita da WD per il Premio specifico. Un Cliente iscritto che non soddisfa il requisito relativo ai Punti minimi applicabile per uno specifico Periodo del Programma non potrà riscattare Punti per alcun Premio per quel Periodo del Programma e tutti i Punti guadagnati dal Cliente iscritto in quel Periodo decadranno all'inizio di un nuovo Periodo del Programma, se non diversamente specificato.
2. Le informazioni sui Premi sono disponibili nell’account del Cliente iscritto e possono essere visualizzate dopo aver effettuato l'accesso al Sito. Durante il Programma, WD può modificare i Premi riscattabili in qualsiasi momento e senza preavviso.
3. I Punti e i Premi non sono trasferibili.
4. Un Socio non ha il diritto di richiedere la sostituzione di un Premio. WD si riserva, a sua sola discrezione, il diritto di sostituire un Premio con uno di valore equivalente o superiore qualora lo stesso non sia disponibile (o per qualsiasi altro motivo).
5. I Premi del Programma non saranno disponibili ai Soci che non abbiano rispettato tutti i Termini e condizioni, stabiliti da WD a sua sola discrezione. WD può richiedere l'esibizione di una prova di conformità o può controllare e ispezionare saltuariamente i registri per confermare la conformità di un Socio ai presenti Termini e condizioni.
Altri benefit dell'Associazione
1. Le informazioni su eventuali ulteriori vantaggi derivanti dall'appartenenza a una categoria e/o a un livello sono disponibili all’interno del proprio account da Cliente iscritto ed è possibile visualizzarle dopo aver effettuato l'accesso al Sito. In determinati Paesi, i Clienti iscritti possono avere diritto di valutare alcuni prodotti WD a un prezzo scontato ("Programma di valutazione"). Lo sconto del Programma di valutazione non è cumulabile con altri sconti. Agli acquisti effettuati attraverso il Programma di valutazione possono essere applicate tasse, spese di spedizione, gestione e altre spese. Possono essere previste limitazioni al numero di prodotti WD disponibili per ogni Cliente iscritto idoneo. Il Cliente iscritto comprende e accetta che tutti i prodotti WD acquistati attraverso il Programma di valutazione sono destinati esclusivamente all'uso da parte dello stesso e non possono essere rivenduti.
2. Durante il Programma, WD si riserva il diritto di modificare in qualsiasi periodo i benefit dell'associazione, senza preavviso.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

Il Programma continuerà fino a quando WD, a sua esclusiva discrezione, deciderà di designare una data di conclusione del Programma. WD ha il diritto di interrompere il Programma in qualsiasi momento, per qualsiasi motivo, dandone comunicazione sul Sito. WD può terminare il Programma senza tale preavviso, interamente o parzialmente, in qualsiasi giurisdizione, salvo nel caso in cui la legge applicabile non richieda di fornire un preavviso.
WD si riserva il diritto di revocare, cancellare o sospendere qualsiasi associazione, Premio, e/o tutti o singoli Punti, nonché di adottare qualsiasi altra misura a sua sola discrezione e incondizionatamente, in caso di: (1) Violazione dei Dettagli del Programma da parte di un cancellare; (2) Truffa o abuso di un cancellare in relazione al Programma, ai Punti accumulati o al riscatto dei Premi; (3) strumentalizzazione di qualsiasi informazione o qualunque abuso del presente Programma; (4) violazione di qualsiasi regolamento o normativa locale, statale o nazionale in relazione alla fruizione dei privilegi riservati ai Soci; (5) mancato pagamento di quanto dovuto a WD; (6) pagamento a WD a mezzo assegno scoperto o non valido per qualsivoglia motivo; (7) gestione di più di un account attivo per Socio; (8) abuso fisico, verbale o scritto nei confronti del personale WD; o (9) procedimenti, di qualsiasi altra natura, attuati a detrimento del Programma o WD; tutto quanto precede sarà valutato da WD a sua esclusiva discrezione. Accanto alla cessazione dell'associazione al Programma, WD avrà il diritto di adottare le opportune procedure amministrative e/o legali incluso, a titolo esemplificativo e non esaustivo, la persecuzione penale, secondo quanto ritenga necessario a sua sola discrezione. Conformemente alla normativa pertinente, l'associazione cesserà automaticamente in caso di richiesta di bancarotta avanzata da un Socio qualora questi sia coinvolto in una procedura di insolvenza.
La sospensione, revoca o la terminazione dell'associazione causa la perdita di tutti i Punti accumulati e la chiusura dell'account del Socio. Se, per qualsiasi motivo, WD revoca l'account di un Socio, questi non potrà ripresentare domanda di associazione e qualsiasi account aperto in nome del Socio e i Punti in esso accumulati decadranno non appena saranno individuati.
Un Socio che annulli la propria associazione, oppure il cui account venga chiuso per inattività, può ripresentare domanda di associazione in data successiva, ma non potrà recuperare eventuali Punti accumulati nel corso dall'associazione precedente.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

WD a toute latitude pour interpréter et appliquer les présentes Conditions générales et toutes modalités du Programme, et l’ensemble des questions et litiges afférents seront résolus par WD à sa seule discrétion.
WD peut modifier les détails du programme à tout moment sans préavis. Ces conditions générales ne peuvent être modifiées, remplacées ou changées que par écrit.
L'éligibilité et l'adhésion au programme seront déterminées à la seule discrétion de WD. WD se réserve le droit à sa seule discrétion de décider de l'adhésion d'un membre, notamment acceptation d'un membre dans le programme, résiliation de l'adhésion d'un membre au programme, et décision sur l'attribution de primes au membre (ou de possibilité pour ce membre d'utiliser le programme pour information et formation seulement).
L'adhésion au programme est généralement ouverte aux entreprises, organisations ou institutions répondant aux critères de qualification d'adhésion ("Clients"). Les particuliers (et certains revendeurs en ligne disposant d'une relation promotionnelle directe avec WD) sont exclus de l'adhésion au programme.
Les critères de qualification et niveaux d'adhésion au programme peuvent être différents d'un pays à l'autre.
Les décisions prises par WD concernant l'éligibilité, l'adhésion et la résiliation de l'adhésion sont définitives et non susceptibles de contestation.
Le programme propose plusieurs catégories et niveaux d'adhésion. Les critères de qualification d'adhésion sont généralement différents pour chaque catégorie et chaque niveau. L'éligibilité au niveau d'adhésion devra être définie à la seule discrétion de WD. Les critères et la période de classification des niveaux d’adhésion sont décrits dans votre compte de Membre.
Certains clients peuvent ne pas être éligibles à la participation au programme à cause de (i) d'autres dispositions ou accords en cours au bénéfice de ces clients ; (ii) restrictions imposés par les lois, règles, réglementations, ordonnances, codes, décisions ou décrets d'ordre local, d'état, fédéral ou étranger (par exemple les restrictions interdisant la participation des administrations aux programmes proposant des primes ou des avantages) ; ou (iii) la non-qualification aux critères imposés par WD, décidée à sa seule discrétion.
Les distributeurs agréés de WD peuvent s'inscrire au programme. Mais les distributeurs agréés de WD peuvent ne pas avoir droit à gagner et échanger des points (comme indiqué ci-dessous) associés à leur adhésion au programme. Ces membres ne sont autorisés à utiliser que le programme (et l'adhésion au programme de ces membres sera limitée à cet usage) pour information et formation.
WD se réserve le droit à sa seule discrétion de créer et d'exécuter des programmes de bonus ou d'avantages spécifiques pouvant s'écarter du programme. L'éligibilité à ces programmes ou avantages spécifiques sera définie à la seule discrétion de WD.
Les primes offertes par ce programme sont destinées exclusivement à profiter au client inscrit au programme. Les personnes qui s'inscrivent au programme pour le compte du client doivent s'assurer que les propriétaires ou représentants appropriés du client sont avertis de la participation et de la réception des avantages éventuels du programme. La participation au programme est interdite en toute circonstance quand elle n'a pas été autorisée et signalée à un propriétaire ou représentant autorisé du client. Vous affirmez et garantissez que la participation au programme n'entre en aucun cas en infraction avec vos devoirs de loyauté vis-à-vis du client et ne pourrait en aucun cas créer par ailleurs des conflits d'intérêt entre vous et le client. Vous devez immédiatement signaler à WD et au client par écrit la possibilité que la participation au programme crée un conflit d'intérêt ou soit contraire à votre devoir de loyauté vis-à-vis du client.

II. Avantages et primes incitatives

Les avantages de l'adhésion sont en général différents d'une catégorie et d'un niveau d'adhésion à l'autre, et peuvent dépendre du pays ou de la région. WD peut limiter le nombre de points (comme défini ci-dessous) que certains membres peuvent gagner. Les membres peuvent aussi se voir imposer d'atteindre certains totaux de points (ou des moyennes minimales de points) pour être éligibles à certains types de prime (défini ci-dessous).
Acquisition des points du programme
1. Les Membres peuvent gagner des points de Programme (ci-après les « Points ») lorsqu’ils achètent certains produits WD éligibles à l’état neuf (non recertifiés et/ou non remis à neuf) auprès des distributeurs et/ou Fournisseurs agréés de WD. La liste des produits de WD susceptibles de donner droit à des Points dans le cadre du Programme sera établie sur le compte du Membre en fonction de son pays ou de sa région. WD est susceptible de modifier les produits et/ou les Points relatifs à ces produits indiqués sur le compte du Membre à tout moment, sans préavis et à sa seule discrétion.
2. WD utilisera les rapports de vente qui lui seront fournis par ses distributeurs agréés ou les informations d'enregistrement du client envoyées à WD comme base principale de définition du nombre de points acquis par un membre. WD peut aussi utiliser d'autres rapports et ressources qu'il considérera appropriés pour définir ou vérifier les acquisitions de points d'un membre, à sa seule discrétion.
3. WD définira à sa seule discrétion le nombre de points (éventuellement) attribués aux membres pour les achats éligibles, et WD aura le droit de modifier à tout moment le nombre de points attribués pour les achats éligibles. Les décisions de WD concernant l'éligibilité d'un achat aux points et le nombre de points acquis par cet achat sont définitives et non susceptibles de contestation pour quelques raisons que ce soit par le membre concerné ou par un tiers, sauf à la seule discrétion de WD. WD se réserve le droit de corriger toute imputation de points effectuée par erreur.
4. La liste des produits WD éligibles aux points et les valeurs de points attribués aux achats éligibles peuvent dépendre du pays ou du niveau d'adhésion, selon définition par WD et à sa seule discrétion.
5. Les Points seront acquis et cumulés au cours de chaque période de gain de Points, telle qu’indiquée sur le compte du Membre après connexion au Site (ci-après la « Période du Programme »). LES POINTS ACQUIS PENDANT UNE PÉRIODE DU PROGRAMME NE SERONT ATTRIBUÉS QU'À LA PÉRIODE DU PROGRAMME PENDANT LAQUELLE ILS ONT ÉTÉ CUMULÉS ET NE POURRONT PAS ÊTRE REPORTÉS À LA PÉRIODE SUIVANTE DU PROGRAMME POUR ACQUISITION NI POUR ÉCHANGE, SAUF SPÉCIFICATION CONTRAIRE DANS LE GUIDE DU PROGRAMME.
Échange des points du programme
1. Pour pouvoir échanger des Points contre certaines récompenses identifiées par WD sur le compte d’un Membre (ci-après les « Récompenses »), ce dernier devra avoir cumulé un nombre minimal de Points au cours d’une Période du Programme. Le nombre minimal de Points requis sera indiqué sur le compte du Membre après connexion au Site. Un Membre pourra échanger des Points contre des Récompenses s’il a atteint ou dépassé le nombre minimal de Points requis en vue de cet échange, tel qu’imposé par WD pour la Récompense concernée. Un Membre n’ayant pas atteint le nombre minimal de Points requis au titre d’une Période du Programme spécifique ne sera pas éligible à l’échange de Points contre une Récompense au titre de cette Période du Programme et, sauf indication contraire, tous les Points acquis par le Membre durant cette Période du Programme seront perdus au commencement d’une nouvelle Période du Programme.
2. Les informations relatives aux Récompenses seront disponibles sur votre compte de Membre après connexion au Site. WD peut modifier les primes proposées pour échange à tout moment pendant le programme, sans préavis.
3. Ni les points ni les primes ne sont transférables.
4. Un membre n'a aucun droit de demander ou d'exiger la substitution d'une prime. WD se réserve le droit de substituer une prime de valeur égale ou supérieure en cas d'indisponibilité d'une prime (ou pour toute autre raison), à sa seule discrétion.
5. Les primes du programme ne seront pas accessibles aux membres qui n'ont pas respecté toutes ces conditions générales, sur décision de WD à sa seule discrétion. WD peut exiger une preuve de conformité ou effectuer des audits et inspections des données d'un membre de temps en temps pour vérifier le respect par le membre de ces conditions générales.
Autres avantages de l'adhésions
1. Les informations relatives aux avantages ultérieurs liés à l’appartenance à une catégorie et/ou à un statut seront disponibles sur votre compte de Membre après connexion au Site. Les Membres de certains pays sont susceptibles d’être autorisés à évaluer certains produits WD à un prix réduit (ci-après le « Programme d’évaluation »). La remise liée au Programme d’évaluation ne sera cumulable avec aucune autre remise. Des taxes, frais d’expédition et de manutention ou d’autres frais pourront s’appliquer à un achat effectué dans le cadre du Programme d’évaluation. Des limitations quant au nombre de produits WD disponibles par Membre éligible pourront également s’appliquer. Le Membre comprend et convient que les produits WD achetés dans le cadre du Programme d’évaluation sont réservés à son usage exclusif et ne peuvent être revendus.
2. WD peut modifier à tout moment les avantages de l'adhésion pendant le programme, sans préavis.

III. Modification, annulation et résiliation

Le Programme se poursuivra jusqu’à ce que WD, à sa seule discrétion, choisisse de désigner une date de fin de Programme. WD a le droit de mettre fin au Programme à tout moment, pour quelque raison que ce soit, en publiant un avis sur le Site. WD est susceptible de mettre fin au Programme sans préavis, en totalité ou en partie, dans n’importe quelle(s) juridiction(s), à moins que la loi en vigueur ne l’oblige à communiquer un préavis.
WD se réserve le droit de révoquer, d'annuler ou de suspendre toute adhésion, prime et tout ou partie des points non échangés, ou d'effectuer toute autre action à sa seule discrétion sans contestation possible en cas de : (1) infraction du membre à ces détails du programme ; (2) fraude ou abus du membre à propos du programme, de l'acquisition de points ou de l'échange de prime ; (3) présentation frauduleuse de données ou utilisation abusive du programme ; (4) infraction à toute loi ou réglementation nationale, d'état ou locale concernant l'utilisation des privilèges d'adhésion ; (5) défaut de paiement de factures dues à WD ; (6) paiement par chèque à WD déclaré sans provision ou non valable quelques raisons que ce soit ; (7) gestion de plus d'un compte actif par membre ; (8) agression physique, verbale ou écrite vis-à-vis du personnel WD ou (9) action quelle qu'elle soit contraire au programme ou à WD ; le tout pouvant être décidé par WD à sa seule discrétion. En plus de l'interruption de l'adhésion au programme, WD aura le droit de prendre toute mesure administrative ou juridique appropriée, y compris mais sans limitation poursuite pénale, comme WD l'estimera nécessaire à sa seule discrétion. Sous réserve de la loi applicable, l'adhésion sera automatiquement résiliée en cas de faillite du membre ou autre procédure collective de cessation de paiement.
L'arrêt, la révocation ou la résiliation de l'adhésion se traduira par la perte de tous les points cumulés et la clôture du compte du membre. Si WD révoque le compte d'un membre pour quelque raison que ce soit, ce membre ne pourra plus demander une nouvelle adhésion et tout compte ouvert au nom du membre et tous les points acquis sur ce compte seront annulés dès leur découverte.
Si un membre annule son adhésion, ou si le compte est fermé suite à une inactivité, le membre peut demander une nouvelle adhésion ultérieure, mais ne pourra pas récupérer les points annulés de l'adhésion préc´dente.

I. Eligibility and Membership

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”). WD has the sole discretion to interpret and apply these Terms & Conditions and any Program Details, and all related questions or disputes regarding same will be resolved by WD in its sole discretion.
WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program. Program participation is prohibited in any circumstance where such participation has not been authorized by and disclosed to an authorized Customer owner and/or representative. You warrant and represent that participation in the Program would not impair your duty of loyalty to Customer or otherwise create conflicts of interest between you and Customer. You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount. Taxes, shipping, handling and other fees may apply to an Evaluation Program purchase. Limitations on the number of WD products available per eligible Member may also apply. Member understands and agrees that any WD products purchased through the Evaluation Program are for use only by the Member and may not be resold.
2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.

Program membership and its benefits are offered at the sole discretion of WD, and participation in the Program is subject to these Terms & Conditions, and any other rules, regulations, policies, or procedures that WD may, in its discretion, adopt from time to time (collectively, the “Program Details”).

WD may amend the Program Details at any time without notice. These Terms & Conditions may only be modified, superseded, or changed in writing by WD.
Program eligibility and membership shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine a Member’s membership status, including accepting a Member into the Program, terminating a Member from the Program, and determining whether a Member is entitled to receive rewards (or whether such Member is entitled to use the Program for informational and instructional purposes only).
Program membership is generally available to businesses, organizations, and/or institutions that meet the qualifying criteria for membership (“Customers”). Membership is limited to one (1) per business, organization, and/or institution. Individuals (and certain online resellers that have a direct promotional relationship with WD) are excluded from Program membership.
Qualifying criteria for membership and membership levels may differ from country to country.
Decisions made by WD regarding eligibility, membership, and termination of membership are final and are not subject to dispute.
The Program features multiple membership categories and levels. Membership qualifying criteria generally differ for each category and level. Membership level eligibility shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD. The criteria and time period for membership level classification is described in your Member account.
Certain Customers may not be eligible to participate in the Program due to (i) other arrangements or agreements in place for the benefit of those Customers; (ii) restrictions imposed by applicable local, state, federal, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders, or decrees (e.g., restrictions prohibiting governmental agencies from participating in programs offering rewards or benefits); or (iii) the failure to satisfy the qualifying criteria imposed by WD in its sole discretion.
WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program. However, WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors are not entitled to earn and redeem Points (as defined below) in connection with their Program membership. Such Members are only entitled to use the Program for (and such Members’ Program membership shall be limited to) informational and instructional purposes.
WD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to create and execute ad hoc incentive or benefit programs that may deviate from, be in addition to, or be a permanent or temporary replacement for the Program or certain parts, Points or Rewards of the Program. Eligibility and any additional terms and conditions for such ad hoc incentive or benefit programs shall be determined at the sole discretion of WD.
Rewards provided by this Program are intended to inure solely for the benefit of the Customer enrolled in the Program. Individuals enrolling in the Program on behalf of Customer must ensure that all appropriate Customer owners and/or representatives are notified of Customer’s participation in, and receipt of any benefits from, the Program.

You must immediately notify WD and Customer in writing in the event participation in the Program creates a conflict of interest or impairs your duty of loyalty to Customer.

II. Benefits and Incentives

Membership benefits generally differ across membership categories and levels, and may vary by country/region. WD may cap the number of Points (as defined below) that certain Members may earn. Members may also be required to reach certain Point totals (and/or minimum Point averages) in order to be eligible for certain types of Rewards (as defined below).
Earning Program Points
1. Members may earn Program points (“Points”) when they purchase certain eligible WD products in new condition (not recertified and/or refurbished) from WD’s authorized distributors and/or Vendors. The list of WD products eligible to earn Points in the Program will be set out in the Member account for the applicable country/region for the Member. WD may change the products and/or Points for such products set out in the Member account at any time without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
2. WD will use point of sales reports provided to WD by WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors and/or Customer registration information submitted to WD as the primary basis for determining the number of Points earned by a Member. WD may also use such other reports and resources as it believes are appropriate to determine or audit a Member’s Points earnings, in its sole discretion.
3. WD shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of Points (if any) awarded to Members for eligible purchases, and WD shall be entitled to change the number of Points awarded for eligible purchases at any time. WD’s decisions as to whether a purchase is a purchase eligible for Points and how many Points such purchase may earn are final and are not subject to dispute for any reason by the Member concerned or by any third party, except at WD’s sole discretion. WD reserves the right to correct any Points posted in error.
4. The list of WD products eligible for Points and the Point values assigned to eligible purchases may vary from country to country or by membership level, as determined by WD in its sole discretion.
5. Points will be earned and accrued during each points earning period, as set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site (“Program Period”). POINTS EARNED DURING A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PERIOD WILL BE ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO THE PROGRAM PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WERE ACCRUED AND CANNOT BE CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT PROGRAM PERIOD FOR EITHER EARNING OR REDEMPTION PURPOSES, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Redeeming Program Points
1. In order to redeem Points for certain rewards identified by WD within a Member’s account (“Rewards”), a Member must have accumulated a minimum number of Points in a Program Period. The minimum number of Points required is set forth in the Member account after logging into the Site. A Member may redeem Points for Rewards if the Member has met or exceeded the minimum Points required for redemption, as imposed by WD for the specific Reward. A Member that fails to meet the applicable minimum Points requirement for a specific Program Period may not be eligible to redeem Points for any Reward for that Program Period, and all points earned by the Member for that Program Period will be forfeited at the beginning of a new Program Period, unless otherwise specified.
2. Information about Rewards is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. WD may modify the Rewards available for redemption at any time during the Program without prior notice.
3. Neither Points nor Rewards are transferable.
4. A Member has no right to request or require substitution of a Reward. WD reserves the right to substitute a Reward of equal or greater value if a Reward is unavailable (or for any other reason) at its sole discretion.
5. Program Rewards will not be available to Members that have not complied with all of these Terms & Conditions, as determined by WD in its sole discretion. WD may require proof of compliance and/or may audit and inspect, or have an independent third party auditor inspect and audit, a Member’s records from time to time to confirm the Member’s compliance with these Terms & Conditions.
Redeeming Program Points
1. Information about any further benefits of membership in a category and/or level is available in your Member account after logging into the Site. Members in certain countries may be eligible to evaluate certain WD products at a discounted price (“Evaluation Program”). The Evaluation Program discount may not be combined with any other discount.

2. WD may modify membership benefits and incentives at any time during the Program without prior notice.

III. Modification, Cancellation and Termination

The Program shall continue until such time as WD, in its sole discretion, elects to designate a Program termination date. WD has the right to terminate the Program at any time, for any reason, by providing notice on the Site. WD may terminate the Program without such notice, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction(s), unless otherwise required to provide notice by applicable law.
WD reserves the right to discontinue, revoke, terminate, cancel, or suspend any membership, Reward, and/or any and all unredeemed Points, or take other action at its sole and unfettered discretion, in cases of: (1) Member violation of these Program Details; (2) Member fraud or abuse involving the Program, Point earning, Reward redemption, or the Evaluation Program; (3) misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program; (4) violation of any national, state, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges; (5) failure to pay any bills due to WD; (6) payment of a check to WD that is returned for insufficient funds or is invalid for any reason; (7) maintenance of more than one active account per Member; (8) physical, verbal, or written abuse of WD personnel; (9) action, in any other way, to the detriment of the Program or WD, including without limitation any infringement or violation of WD's intellectual property rights; or (10) WD’s termination of the Program; all as may be determined by WD in its sole discretion. In addition to discontinuance of Program membership, WD shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including, without limitation, criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion. Subject to applicable law, membership will terminate automatically upon a Member’s filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.
Discontinued, revoked, terminated or cancelled membership will result in the loss of all accumulated Points and the closing of the Member’s account. If WD revokes a Member’s account for any reason, the Member may not reapply for membership and any account opened in the Member’s name and Points earned in that account shall be forfeited upon discovery.
If a Member cancels its membership, or if the Member’s account is closed due to inactivity, the Member may reapply for membership at a later date, but it will not recover any Points forfeited from the prior membership.
