Last Updated August 20, 2024

In the absence of a written agreement for the purchase of Goods from Western Digital Technologies, Inc. and/or its Affiliates (“WDT”), these Terms & Conditions of Sale (“Terms & Conditions”), together with the quote provided by WDT, constitute the entire agreement (“Agreement”) between WDT and the purchaser of the goods referenced in the quote (“Buyer”) relating to the purchase of the goods referenced in such quote or in any written purchase order (“Order”) submitted by Buyer to WDT in connection with such quote (“Goods”). “Affiliates” shall mean any company directly or indirectly controlling, being controlled by, or under common control with Western Digital Technologies, Inc. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these Terms & Conditions and the quote prepared by WDT and provided to Buyer, the following order of priority shall apply to resolve such conflict: (i) the terms appearing in the quote provided by WDT and (ii) these Terms & Conditions. WDT expressly rejects any inconsistent terms in Buyer’s purchaser order, and WDT will only accept Buyer’s order on the basis of a mutually agreed signed contract or, in the absence of such signed contract, these Terms & Conditions. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the Agreement and any other form, agreement, or Order used or proposed by either party in connection herewith or with the transactions contemplated herein, the terms of the Agreement shall govern and such other form, agreement, or Order shall be effective only to show the quantity, model, date of order, and requested delivery date. Buyer’s placement of an Order with WDT for any of the Goods shall constitute Buyer’s acceptance of the terms hereof and, if Buyer’s Order constitutes an offer, WDT’s acceptance is expressly conditional on Buyer’s unqualified agreement to each of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Unless authorized by WDT to purchase Goods through WDT’s online store at https://www.westerndigital.com, which may require Buyer’s acceptance of additional and/or different terms and conditions, no addition to or modification of the Agreement shall be binding on WDT unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of WDT. No representations or statements of any kind made by any representative or agent of WDT which are not stated herein shall be binding on WDT. The express terms of the Agreement shall control course of performance and course of performance shall control both course of dealing and usage of trade.

Prices of Goods (“Prices”) do not include taxes. WDT shall invoice Buyer, and Buyer shall pay WDT as provided in §4 below, for the Prices and any such taxes and transportation and freight charges. If WDT receives a Order for Goods from Buyer and, prior to shipping Goods against such Order, WDT changes the price of the Goods with respect to Buyer, then: (i) in the event WDT reduces prices, WDT will ship and invoice Goods at the price in effect at the time of shipment; and (ii) in the event WDT raises prices, WDT will require Buyer to submit a new Order reflecting the change in the price of the Goods and if Buyer does not submit such new Order WDT may, without liability, terminate its obligation to sell Buyer any unshipped Goods.

Buyer may only reschedule the delivery date for an Order if Buyer provides a written rescheduling request to WDT at least fourteen (14) or more days prior to the original scheduled delivery date and WDT accepts the rescheduling request in writing. Any rescheduled delivery date must be within thirty (30) days of the original scheduled delivery date, and is subject to WDT’s applicable lead time requirements.

Buyer shall pay the net invoiced amount to WDT in United States currency within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. WDT may charge a late fee equal to ten percent (10%) per annum on all outstanding invoiced amounts not paid within thirty (30) days. WDT reserves the right at any time to suspend further shipments of Goods if Buyer does not comply with payment terms specified herein or in WDT’s invoice. In such event, Buyer shall comply with any new payment terms prescribed by WDT as a condition for further shipment of Goods. Each shipment shall constitute an independent transaction and Buyer shall pay for same in accordance with applicable payment terms. Buyer shall make payment for the Goods without regard to prior inspection of the Goods. However, any right of inspection available to Buyer shall not be impaired by such payment. To secure prompt and complete payment and the performance of its obligations hereunder, Buyer hereby grants, assigns, conveys, mortgages, pledges, hypothecates, and transfers to WDT, and acknowledges that WDT has reserved, a continuing first priority lien (a purchase money security interest) upon all of Buyer’s right, title, and interest in and to all Goods shipped and any proceeds thereof in the amount of the Price of such Goods plus any and all other charges owed to WDT in connection therewith. Buyer grants to WDT all the rights and remedies afforded to a secured party by the chapter on “Default” of Division 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code Secured Transactions of California in addition to all rights and remedies provided herein. Default shall be deemed to include any act consistent with the bankruptcy or insolvency of Buyer. Buyer agrees that WDT shall have no liability to Buyer for any damages by reason of WDT’s repossession of any Goods, including, without limitation, any possible liability for loss of business, and Buyer agrees to hold WDT harmless from any such claims by third parties. Buyer agrees to reimburse WDT for the expenses of retaking the Goods, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. Buyer authorizes the filing or recording of (and agrees to sign if necessary) any financing statement or other document that may be required to be filed or recorded with appropriate state or local authorities in order for WDT to perfect its security interests in the Goods.

If you elect to use the services of a third-party payment or billing provider (e.g., TreviPay) in connection with your purchase from us, your use of such services will be subject to the third-party provider's own terms and conditions. You may be required to create an account with such third-party provider and/or provide that third-party provider with your bank account or credit/debit card details. We are not responsible for, and you agree to hold us harmless from and against any liability resulting from, the acts or omissions of any third-party payment or billing provider.

Unless separate delivery terms are mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, the Goods shall be delivered ExWorks, or if WDT elects to pay shipping, CPT (Incoterms 2020) to WDT’s plant of manufacture, first airport/port of entry, or local distribution center, as determined by WDT in its discretion. In the case of orders through WDT's online store, currently located at https://www.westerndigital.com ("Western Digital Store"), the Incoterm shall be DDP (Incoterms 2020) to Buyer's specified delivery location, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. Title of ownership to such Goods shall pass to Buyer at the time of transfer of risk of loss or damage in accordance with the agreed shipment terms. Shipment or delivery dates scheduled or proposed by WDT are estimates only. Any shipment or delivery dates in Buyer’s Order are requests for shipment or delivery on such dates and are not binding on WDT. WDT shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or other claims resulting from any delay in delivery or any non-delivery of Goods attributable in whole or in part to (i) any act of government, judicial action, war, civil disturbances, insurrection, sabotage, act of public enemy, labor difficulties or disputes, failure of or delay in delivery by WDT’s suppliers or carriers, commercial impracticability (irrespective of foreseeability at time of contracting), shortage of energy, raw materials, labor or equipment, inadequate yield of product despite WDT’s reasonable efforts, fire, flood, storm or other act of God or any other cause whether similar or dissimilar beyond WDT’s reasonable control, or (ii) Buyer’s fault or negligence (any event described in (i) or (ii) constituting an “Excusable Delay”). The delivery dates shall be considered extended by a period of time equal to the period of the Excusable Delay. In the event, however, that WDT is unable to wholly or partially perform its obligations to ship Goods because of any Excusable Delay, WDT shall be relieved of such obligations without further liability. In the event that demand for any WDT products which comprise any of the Goods exceeds WDT’s ability to produce and ship such products as ordered, WDT may allocate production and shipment amo
