Unless you opt-out of arbitration: you will only be permitted to pursue claims against us on an individual basis, not as part of any class or representative action or proceeding and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.
These Service Terms include the Acceptable Use Policy attached as Appendix A (as amended from time to time, the “AUP”). These Service Terms, including the AUP, constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “your”) and Western Digital Technologies, Inc. (“WDT”, “us”, “we” or “our”). You may not modify these Service Terms by making any changes for any purpose. We agree to rent to you the Device (defined below) and to provide the Storage Service, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Service Terms, the applicable provisions of our Terms of Sale (Consumer), and our Privacy Statement. In the event of any conflict, for purposes of any rented Devices, the terms of these Service Terms control.
1. Services Description
Upon receipt by WDT of your order and any refundable deposit (if required by WDT, at its sole discretion), as described in Section 5 below, WDT will send you the rental storage device that includes all software and programs contained within the device or downloaded to the device by WDT (collectively, the “Device”) you selected through any of the websites offered by WDT (collectively, the “Site”). The Device will be sent to you via the shipping method you have selected on the Site. Also included with your Device is a cloud-based service that permits you to access or manage content you have stored on the Device via a mobile or desktop app (“Storage Service”). Rental of the Device and the Storage Service is collectively referred to as the “Service”.
2. Term
The term of the Service shall be month-to-month (“Term”) with the exception of the first Term, which will be for a term of one month + ten (10) days to accommodate for time to ship and deliver the Device. The Term begins as soon as you place an order for your Device, regardless of when or whether you begin to use the Device or connect to the Storage Service and ends at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) on the last day of each Term. As provided in Section 8 below, you may cancel the Service at any time for any reason and you will be responsible for all charges, if any, incurred through date of our receipt of your cancelled Device.
3. Rental Fees and Other Charges
You agree to pay all charges associated with the Service, including, but not limited to the monthly rental fee, any refundable deposit amounts, applicable federal, state and local taxes and fees (however designated), recovery fees, activation fees, equipment charges and any other recurring and nonrecurring charges detailed within the billing details available in your online account (“Account”). Recovery fees are not taxes and are not required by law, but are set by WDT and may change. You also agree to pay any additional charge or fees applied to your Account, including interest and charges due to insufficient funds.
4. Billing
You will be billed monthly in arrears within five (5) days of the end of each Term, for the Service. Based on your election and subject to our approval, WDT or its agent will bill your charge card or alternative payment method, as selected when placing your order or updated within your Account.
5. Refundable Deposit
We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit, which will be indicated at the time of your order for the Service. We may also require an additional deposit after the Term begins should you fail to pay any amounts when due. Unless applicable law requires a shorter period, within ninety (90) days after termination of your Service, we will return your deposited amounts, less any unpaid amounts due on your Account, including any amounts owed for unreturned or damaged Device(s). Amounts held on deposit will not accrue interest, except as required by applicable law.
6. Late Payments and Fees
You may be billed fees, charges and assessments related to late or non-payment if, for any reason, we do not receive payment for full amounts billed to you by the due date. We do not anticipate that you will fail to pay on a timely basis, and we do not extend credit to customers. Any fees, charges and assessments due to late payment or non-payment are liquidated damages intended to be a reasonable estimate of our costs resulting from late payments and non-payments. These costs will be difficult to calculate or to predict when we set such fees, charges and assessments, because we cannot know in advance (a) whether you will pay on a timely basis, if ever; (b) if you do pay late, when you will actually pay; and (c) what costs we will incur because of your late payment or non-payment.
7. We Will Evaluate Your Creditworthiness
We may evaluate your credit history before providing you the Service. As such, we may obtain a credit report from a consumer reporting agency (i.e., credit bureau) to determine your creditworthiness. If you fail to pay your bill on time and in full, we may submit negative information to a consumer reporting agency, which will negatively impact your credit report. We reserve the right to make credit inquiries even after establishing an Account with you.
8. Cancellation or Termination of Service
You may cancel the Service at any time and for any reason by giving notice to WDT as set forth in this Section 8. You may provide notice to WDT of cancellation of the Service at any time by calling Customer Service or submitting a cancellation request through the ‘My Account’ page within your Account. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, cancellation of the Service will terminate these Service Terms, effective on the date of our receipt of your cancelled Device, and you are responsible for all charges, if any, incurred through that date, including any charges for returning the Device to WDT.
WDT reserves the right to change, limit, terminate, modify or temporarily or permanently cease providing the Service or any part of it, at any time and for any reason with or without prior notice. Should we elect to change the Service or a part thereof, we will use best efforts to provide you with sufficient prior notice that you may elect to cancel the Service before the next billing cycle. If you violate these Service Terms or WDT otherwise terminates your Service under this Section 8, you must immediately stop using the Service and you will be responsible for any applicable charges.
8.1 Deletion of Data Upon Cancellation or Termination
YOU AGREE THAT IF YOUR SERVICE IS CANCELLED OR TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON, WDT HAS THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY DELETE ALL DATA, FILES AND OTHER INFORMATION STORED ON THE DEVICE OR STORAGE SERVICE, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO YOU. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REMOVE OR COPY ANY CONTENT ON THE DEVICE OR STORAGE SERVICE PRIOR TO TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION; OTHERWISE IT MAY BE LOST.
8.2 Return of Equipment Upon Cancellation or Termination
You must return the Device to WDT or you will be charged the fair market value for the Device. Failure to return the Device, or returning the Device in a damaged condition (subject only to reasonable wear and tear), will result in our assessment of a device recovery fee that may be substantial.
9. Changes to Services and to these Service Terms
Subject to applicable law, we have the right to change our Service, rates and charges, at any time with or without notice to you. We may deliver any notice concerning changes to the Service, including, but not limited to updates of these Service Terms, in any of the following ways, as determined by WDT in its full discretion: (1) by posting notice of the changes on our Site, including within your Account, or on any other website about which you have been notified or (2) by mail or email delivered to the addresses you provided to us.
10. Device
You expressly agree that you will use the Device in accordance with these Service Terms and that the Device belongs to us or other third parties and will not be deemed to be a fixture. You may not sell, lease, abandon, or give away the Device, or permit your service providers or agents to use the Device, including a Device for which you have been charged due to your failure to return the Device. You agree that you will not allow anyone other than WDT or our agents to service the Device. You are responsible for loss, repair, replacement and other costs, damages, fees and charges if you do not return the Device to us in an undamaged condition. For avoidance of doubt, the Device remains WDT-owned equipment, and WDT retains title to the Device, at all times, including, but not limited to, even after you have reimbursed WDT for the cost of a Device you have not returned or returned to WDT in a damaged state.
11. Limited and Revocable License

For any software included during the Term with the Service, you agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the specific license agreement for such software, including all confidentiality obligations and restrictions on the sale, use, reverse engineering, copying, making, modifying, improving, sublicensing and transfer of such licensed software. You will not cause, induce or permit others’ noncompliance with the terms and conditions of any of these software license agreements.
12. Legal Disputes and Arbitration Agreement.
IF YOU RESIDE IN (OR YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN) THE U.S.: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
a. INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. You may contact us at Western Digital Technologies, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, CA 95119, U.S.A. to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
b. AGREEMENT TO BINDING ARBITRATION. If we do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 12(a) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth in these Service Terms. All claims arising out of or relating to the terms set forth in these Service Terms (including their formation, performance, and breach), the Service, or the parties’ relationship with each other, under any legal theory, including contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, scope, enforceability, or formation of these Service Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Service Terms are void or voidable, and except as provided for in Sections 12(d)-(f) below. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence in the U.S., or in Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A., at your option. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity including, if applicable, public injunctions. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and WDT agree that this Section 12 shall survive termination of these Service Terms. These Service Terms memorializes a transaction involving interstate commerce and the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 12 shall be governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).
The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures or by calling 1-800-352-5267. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250.00), we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel, and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay JAMS to reimburse you for any portion of the filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law. Unless otherwise agreed upon by you and WDT in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses to be paid by WDT pursuant to this Section 12.
THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, THEY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. THEY FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT.
c. CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION WAIVER. YOU AND WDT EACH FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN OUR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND WDT EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS, INCLUDING U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 12(b) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
d. EXCEPTION – U.S. SMALL CLAIMS COURT CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court if that action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
e. EXCEPTION – CALIFORNIA PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT (PAGA) ACTION. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.
f. EXCEPTION – CLAIMS INVOLVING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim relating to the enforcement, infringement, or validity of (i) trade secrets, (ii) patents, (iii) copyrights, or (iv) trademarks. Notwithstanding the broad delegation clause set forth in Section 12(b) above, the parties agree that a court, not the arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.
g. 30-DAY RIGHT TO OPT-OUT. You can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending a written letter to Western Digital Technologies, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 5601 Great Oaks Parkway, San Jose, CA 95119, U.S.A. within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Service Terms, or within thirty (30) days of any subsequent modification to the arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 12.
