8. 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.
9. WD’s authorized distributors and Vendors may enroll in the Program.

2. 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.

   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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

All disputes which cannot be resolved between the parties, and causes of action arising out of or connected with the Program, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.
   3. The awarding of Points, the redemption of Rewards, and participation in the Program are void where prohibited by law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, domestic and/or international anti-bribery laws).
