Limited Warranty
Western Digital warrants to the original end user that the hardware in the Platform Product (“Product”), when properly installed, used, and maintained, will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will substantially conform to Western Digital’s specifications for such Product during the Warranty Period, as described below. This Limited Warranty for HGST and Western Digital Brand Platform Products (the “Limited Warranty”) applies to new HGST and Western Digital Brand Products purchased through Western Digital’s authorized sales channel by the original end user for normal use and not for resale. The warranty is not transferrable from the original end user.
Warranty Exclusions
The Limited Warranty does not cover nonconformance resulting from (i) misuse, accident, negligence, modification or alteration to the hardware; (ii) use of the Product outside Western Digital’s specified operating environment; (iii) failure to perform required maintenance or the improper performance of maintenance; or (iv) failures caused by a product for which Western Digital is not responsible. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation or defects in design. There is no warranty for loss or damage of data. Data Recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the warranty returns process. The Limited Warranty does not cover support of the Product. Support for the Product may be purchased separately, under Western Digital’s support agreement terms and conditions and support offerings definitions.
Warranty Period

Western Digital will provide replacements at the Field Replacement Unit (FRU) level. Western Digital will ship the FRUs transportation prepaid.

Western Digital (“G-Technology”) Limited Warranty for G-Technology® HDD Products
(see separate SanDisk Limited Warranty for G-Technology® Flash Products)
This Limited Warranty applies to new G-Technology® HDD storage products purchased from an authorized G-Technology dealer by the original purchaser for normal use and not for resale. G-Technology warrants that a covered product is free from defects in materials and workmanship, with the exceptions stated below.
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/en-sg/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/en-sg/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/en-sg/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.

Warranty Remedies & Returns
Before seeking limited warranty service, users should first follow the troubleshooting procedures that Western Digital or your reseller/distributor provides.
Unless unavailable, Western Digital will provide replacements at the Field Replacement Unit (FRU) level. Western Digital will ship the FRUs transportation prepaid. FRUs may be previously used, repaired and tested to meet Western Digital’s specifications. Title to the FRU transfers upon delivery to the carrier at the Western Digital shipping point. Western Digital retains title to the returned Product. You are responsible for importation of the FRU, if applicable. Western Digital will not return the defective part, therefore, the end user is responsible for moving data to another media and/or deleting sensitive data before returning. Western Digital FRU is warranted for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater.
If Western Digital cannot provide replacements at the FRU level, it may instead provide a product with at least equivalent capabilities to the failed Product. The equivalent product is warranted for the remainder of the original Product warranty or 90 days, whichever is greater. If Western Digital cannot provide a replacement at the FRU level or an equivalent product, it may instead provide the user with a credit based on the Product’s original purchase price and remaining warranty term. If Western Digital elects an equivalent product replacement or credit, user must return, and Western Digital must receive, the complete failed Product before such product or credit will be provided.
To obtain limited warranty service, you must first obtain a Return Materials Authorization, the applicable FRU, and ship‐to address by contacting the appropriate Call Center listed at http://www.westerndigital.com/support. Returns must be in Western Digital approved packaging. All returns for the Product must be sent to the Western Digital designated return location. You are responsible for all transportation charges, duties and insurance in shipping the returned hardware to WesternDigital.Youshould remove all personal information from the Product prior to its return.
