Limitation of Damages

لا شيء في هذا الضمان يغير أو يستثني حقوقك القانونية وفق قانون المنافسة والمستهلك الأسترالي أو قانون ضمانات المستهلك النيوزيلندي. يحدد هذا الضمان المنهج المفضل لدى شركة WD في حل شكاوى الضمان والذي من المرجح أن يكون سريعًا وبسيطًا لكل الأطراف.

لا توجد ضمانات أخرى سواء كانت صريحة أو ضمنية بالقانون، وهذا يشمل على سبيل المثال لا الحصر الضمانات المشمولة في قانون بيع البضائع، فيما يتعلق بالمنتج. إذا اشتريت المنتج في نيوزيلندا لأغراض التجارة، فأنت تقبل أن قانون ضمانات المستهلك النيوزيلاندي لا ينطبق وتوافق على هذا.

وفي أستراليا تكون منتجاتنا مصحوبة بضمانات لا يمكن استثناؤها بموجب قانون المستهلك الأسترالي. ولديك الحق في استبدال المنتج أو استرداد الثمن المدفوع نظرًا لوجود خلل كبير، ويحق لك صرف تعويض عن أي خسارة أو تلف آخر معقول يمكن أخذه في الحسبان. كما يحق لك أيضًا أن تُصلح البضائع لك أو أن تُستبدل إذا لم تكن ذات جودة مقبولة ولا يصل الخلل إلى مستوى الخلل الكبير. يحدد قانون المستهلك الأسترالي ما يمثل خللاً كبيرًا.

الضمان

تضمن WD أن يكون المنتج في أثناء استعماله العادي، ووفقًا للمدة المبينة أدناه، خاليًا من عيوب مواد التصنيع والصناعة ويتوافق مع مواصفات WD. يُرجى الرجوع إلى هذا الرابط لتحديد مدة فترة الضمان https://support-en.wd.com/app/Warranty_Policy#group3 تبدأ مدة الضمان من تاريخ الشراء المبين في فاتورة الشراء من الموزع أو المورد المعتمد. ويجب الحفاظ على إثبات الشراء لتكون مستحقًا لهذا الضمان ولكي يثبت تاريخ بدء هذا الضمان. لن تتوفر خدمة الضمان ما لم يُعاد المنتج إلى موزع معتمد أو مورد معتمد أو مركز إعادة إقليمي تابع لشركة WD حيث شحنت شركة WD المنتج لأول مرة. قد تتيح WD ضمانات ممتدة للشراء وفقًا لما تراه. لا تتحمل WD أي مسؤولية عن أي منتج مرتجع إذا قررت WD أن المنتج (1) لم يتم شراؤه من موزع معتمد، أو بائع معتمد، (2) أو لم يُستخدم حسب مواصفات وتعليمات WD، (3) أو لم يُستخدم للغرض المخصص له، (4) أو أن المنتج مسروق من WD أو أن العيب المزعوم (أ) غير موجود أو (ب) يتعذر إصلاحه على نحو معقول بسبب وقوع التلف قبل استلام WD للمنتج أو (ج) بسبب سوء الاستعمال أو التركيب غير السليم أو التعديل (بما في ذلك إزالة الملصقات أو طمسها وفتح الأغلفة الخارجية أو إخراجها بما في ذلك إطار التثبيت، ما لم يكن المنتج مدرجاً في قائمة المنتجات القابلة للخدمة المحدودة من قبل المستخدم وأن يكون التعديل المحدد ضمن نطاق التعليمات السارية، كما هو موضح في https://support-en.wd.com)، أو نتيجة وقوع حادث أو سوء الاستعمال أثناء وجود المنتج في حيازة شخص آخر غير WD.

تُعد المنتجات عناصر معقدة وهشة قد تتعطل أحيانًا بسبب (أ) أسباب خارجية، بما في ذلك على سبيل المثال دون الحصر، سوء الاستعمال والتعرض للحرارة والبرودة والرطوبة وانقطاع التيار الكهربائي أو (ب) العيوب الداخلية. وقد تؤدي حالات الأعطال هذه إلى فقد البيانات أو تلفها أو حذفها أو تبدلها. يجب الانتباه إلى أنك مسؤول عن فقدان البيانات أو تلفها أو حذفها أو تبدلها مهما كان السبب، وكذلك أنت مسؤول عن النسخ الاحتياطي لهذه البيانات وحمايتها ضد الفقد أو التلف أو الحذف أو التبديل. وتوافق باستمرار على نسخ جميع البيانات الموجودة على هذا المنتج نسخًا احتياطيًا وإكمال النسخ الاحتياطي قبل طلب أي خدمة عامة ودعم فني من شركة WD.

في أستراليا، إذا لم يكن الجهاز من النوع الذي يتم الحصول عليه عادةً للاستخدام الشخصي أو المنزلي أو العائلي أو الاستهلاكي، بشرط أن يكون من المنصف والمعقول القيام بذلك، فإن شركة WD تقصر مسؤوليتها القانونية على استبدال المنتج أو توفير منتج مساوٍ أو أفضل.

يمتد هذا الضمان ليشمل المنتجات التي تم إصلاحها أو استبدالها لبقية المدة السارية للضمان الأصلي أو لمدة تسعين (90) يوماً من تاريخ الشحن للمنتج الذي تم إصلاحه أو استبداله، أيهما كان أطول. يُعد الضمان السابق هو ضمان WD الوحيد ويسري فقط على المنتجات المباعة على أنها جديدة.

ينص الضمان المحدود لـ WD على أنه وفقًا للقيود التالية، سيكون كل منتج خاليًا من أي عيوب في المواد والتصنيع ويتوافق مع مواصفات WD الخاصة بالمنتج المحدد.

قيود الإصلاحات

يقتصر الإصلاح الحصري لأي منتج معيب على إصلاح هذا المنتج المعيب أو استبداله.

قد تختار WD توفير أي إصلاح أو مجموعة من الإصلاحات وفقًا لتقديرها الخاص. يجب أن يكون لدى WD وقتًا معقولاً بعد تحديد وجود منتج معيب لإصلاحه أو استبداله. سيُصنع المنتج البديل الخاص بـ WD بموجب الضمان المحدود الخاص بها من قطع غيار جديدة وأخرى مستخدمة ما زالت صالحة. ينطبق ضمان WD على المنتجات التي تم إصلاحها أو استبدالها لبقية المدة السارية للضمان الأصلي أو لمدة تسعين يوماً من تاريخ الشحن للمنتج الذي تم إصلاحه أو استبداله، أيهما كان أطول.

قيود الأضرار

لا يجب أن تتجاوز المسؤولية الكاملة لـ WD عن أي منتج معيب في أي حال من الأحوال سعر الشراء الخاص بهذا المنتج المعيب. يُطبق هذا القيد حتى إذا كانت WD لا تستطيع إصلاح أو استبدال أي منتج معيب أو لم تقوم بذلك، وفشل الإصلاح الخاص بك في غرضه الأساسي.

لا الأضرار المترتبة ولا أضرار الأخرى

بصرف النظر عن أي شيء آخر في هذه السياسة أو غيرها، لن تكون WD مسؤولة عما يتعلق بالمنتجات بموجب أي عقد أو إهمال أو مسؤولية صارمة أو نظرية قانونية أو عادلة (1) عن أي مبلغ يتجاوز سعر الشراء للمنتج المعيب أو (2) عن أي أضرار عامة أو تبعية أو عقابية أو عرضية أو خاصة. يتضمن هذا فقدان البيانات المسجلة، ووقف الاستخدام، وتكلفة استرداد البيانات المفقودة، والأرباح المفقودة، وتكلفة تثبيت أي من المنتجات أو إزالتها، وتثبيت المنتجات المستبدلة، وإصلاح أي من المنتجات المعيبة وأي فحص أو اختبار أو إعادة تصميم ناتجة عن أي عيب أو عن طريق إصلاح المنتجات الناشئة عن عيب في أي منتج أو استبدالها. لا يحد هذا القسم من المسؤولية عن الإصابة الجسدية للشخص.

لا تسمح بعض الولايات في الولايات المتحدة، باستثناء أو تقييد الأضرار العرضية أو التبعية، ولذلك قد لا تسري القيود أعلاه عليك. يمنحك هذا الضمان حقوقًا قانونية معينة وقد تتمتع بحقوق أخرى تختلف من ولاية إلى أخرى.

استخدامك للمنتج

لن تتحمل WD أي مسؤولية عن أي منتج يتم إرجاعه إذا قررت WD ما يلي:

• أن المنتج مسروقًا من WD.
• أو أن العيب المعلن:
  • غير موجود،
  • أو لا يمكن إصلاحه بشكل معقول بسبب الضرر الذي يحدث عندما يكون المنتج في حوزة شخص آخر غير WD أو
  • يعود إلى سوء الاستعمال أو التركيب غير السليم أو التعديل (بما في ذلك إزالة أو طمس الملصقات وفتح أو إخراج الأغلفة الخارجية، بما في ذلك إطار التثبيت، (ما لم يُصرح بذلك من قبل Western Digital أو مركز خدمة معتمد)) أو وقوع حادث أو سوء استعمال أثناء حيازة شخص آخر بخلاف WD.
• لم يُباع المنتج لك على أنه جديد.
• لم يُستخدم المنتج وفقًا لمواصفات Western Digital وتعليماتها.
• لم يُستخدم المنتج في وظيفته المقصودة (على سبيل المثال، محركات سطح المكتب المستخدمة في الشركات).

There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. There is no warranty for loss of data—you must regularly back up the data stored on your product to a separate storage product. There is no warranty for product with removed or altered identification labels. G-TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  G-Technology is not responsible for returning to you product that is not under warranty.

If you are having trouble with a product, before seeking limited warranty service, first follow the troubleshooting procedures that G-Technology or your reseller provides. To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization and ship-to address by contacting the appropriate G-Technology Call Center listed at https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support. You must return the covered hard disk drive using approved packaging to our logistics center. Packaging guidelines can be found at https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support. You must pay any associated transportation charges, duties and insurance in shipping the drive to our logistics center. You should remove all personal information from the product prior to its return.

G-Technology will replace the drive with a functionally equivalent replacement product, transportation prepaid. G-Technology may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired and tested to meet G-Technology specifications. You receive title to the replacement product at delivery to the carrier at G-Technology shipping point. You are responsible for importation of the replacement product, if applicable. G-Technology will not return the original drive; therefore, you are responsible for moving data to other media before returning. Data recovery is not covered under this limited warranty and is not part of the returns process. G-Technology warrants that replacement product is covered for the remainder of the original product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.

G-TECHNOLOGY AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND RESELLERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN BODILY INJURY INCLUDING DEATH AND TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY); 2) LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

В Австралии, если Изделие не относится к товарам, обычно приобретаемым для личного или домашнего использования или потребления, то при условии справедливости и обоснованности своих действий компания WD ограничивает свою ответственность заменой Изделия на аналогичное, равноценное или лучшее.

Эта гарантия распространяется на отремонтированные или замененные Изделия до окончания срока действия исходной гарантии или до истечения 90 (девяноста) дней с момента отправки отремонтированного или замененного Изделия, в зависимости от того, что наступит позднее.

在符合以下限制的前提下，WD 的有限质保可保证其产品没有材料或工艺上的缺陷，且遵从相关产品的 WD 技术规格。

维修限制

任何有缺陷产品的唯一补救方法仅限于维修或更换有缺陷产品。

WD 可自行选择一种或多种补救办法。判定产品存在缺陷后，应当给 WD 足够的时间，以便于对该产品进行维修或更换。根据其有限质保规定，WD 的替换产品将使用全新的可用零件制造。WD 的质保适用于维修后或更换后的产品，质保期按原产品质保期剩余时间计算，但不能少于更换或维修产品发货日期后 90 天。

损坏限制

在任何情况下，WD 对任何有缺陷产品负有的全部责任都不应超过该产品的购买价格。即使 WD 不能或没有维修或更换任何有缺陷产品，并且您的唯一补救办法也不能达到目的，该限制仍旧适用。

无间接或其他损坏

无论本政策或其他政策的其他表述如何，对于 (I) 任何超过故障产品购买价的金额或 (II) 任何一般、间接、惩罚性、附带或特殊性的损害，WD 都不会承担与任何合同、过失、严格赔偿责任或其他法律或衡平理论有关的责任。这其中包括：记录数据丢失、使用中断、丢失数据的恢复成本、利润损失、安装或删除任何产品的成本、安装替代性产品的成本，以及因为产品缺陷或因为缺陷导致产品维修或更换，由此引起的任何检查、测试或重新设计成本。本部分内容不对人体伤害方面的责任进行限制。

This limited warranty lasts for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years, or a fixed period from date of purchase, depending on when and where it was originally purchased.  To determine the warranty specifically for your G-Technology product, visit https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support.  A valid proof of purchase may be required to prove eligibility.  If you do not have a valid proof of purchase, the limited warranty period will be measured from the date of sale by G-Technology to the authorized distributor.

The limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from commercial use, misuse, accident, modification or alteration to hardware or software, tampering, unsuitable physical or operating environment beyond product specifications, improper maintenance, or failure caused by a product for which G-Technology is not responsible. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. There is no warranty for loss of data—you must regularly back up the data stored on your product to a separate storage product. There is no warranty for product with removed or altered identification labels. G-TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

You receive title to the replacement product at delivery to the carrier at G-Technology shipping point. You are responsible for importation of the replacement product, if applicable.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

This limited warranty lasts for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years, or a fixed period from date of purchase, depending on when and where it was originally purchased.  To determine the warranty specifically for your G-Technology product, visit https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support.  A valid proof of purchase may be required to prove eligibility.  If you do not have a valid proof of purchase, the limited warranty period will be measured from the date of sale by G-Technology to the authorized distributor.

The limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from commercial use, misuse, accident, modification or alteration to hardware or software, tampering, unsuitable physical or operating environment beyond product specifications, improper maintenance, or failure caused by a product for which G-Technology is not responsible. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. There is no warranty for loss of data—you must regularly back up the data stored on your product to a separate storage product. There is no warranty for product with removed or altered identification labels. G-TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  G-Technology is not responsible for returning to you product that is not under warranty.

If you are having trouble with a product, before seeking limited warranty service, first follow the troubleshooting procedures that G-Technology or your reseller provides. To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization and ship-to address by contacting the appropriate G-Technology Call Center listed at https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support. You must return the covered hard disk drive using approved packaging to our logistics center. Packaging guidelines can be found at https://www.westerndigital.com/de-at/support. You must pay any associated transportation charges, duties and insurance in shipping the drive to our logistics center. You should remove all personal information from the product prior to its return.

G-Technology will replace the drive with a functionally equivalent replacement product, transportation prepaid. G-Technology may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired and tested to meet G-Technology specifications. You receive title to the replacement product at delivery to the carrier at G-Technology shipping point. You are responsible for importation of the replacement product, if applicable. G-Technology will not return the original drive; therefore, you are responsible for moving data to other media before returning. Data recovery is not covered under this limited warranty and is not part of the returns process. G-Technology warrants that replacement product is covered for the remainder of the original product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.

G-TECHNOLOGY AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND RESELLERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN BODILY INJURY INCLUDING DEATH AND TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY); 2) LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

Die vorliegende Garantie ist die einzige Herstellergarantie von WD und gilt nur für als neu verkaufte Produkte.
