Statement of Limited Warranty—General Terms
The warranties provided by Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, Inc. ("Hitachi Global Storage
Technologies") in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase
for your use, and not for resale, from an authorized Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
Distributor. The term "Machine" means a Hitachi Global Storage Technologies hard disk drive,
including the External USB Storage product, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or
accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" does not include any software
programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Nothing
in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived
or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
or your reseller.
The Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Warranty for Machines
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in
materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to Hitachi Global Storage Technologies' Official
Published Specifications. (See http://www.hitachigst.com for details) The warranty period for
a Machine is a fixed period of 1 year commencing on your date of purchase. A valid proof of
purchase may be required. If you do not have a valid proof of purchase, the warranty period
will be measured from the date of sale from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies to the
authorized Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Distributor.
If, during the warranty period, the Machine is not in good working order, Hitachi Global
Storage Technologies will, at its option, repair or replace it at no additional charge, except as
is set forth below. A refund may also be available from your point of purchase.
In some cases, the replacement Machine may not be new and may have been previously
installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies'
appropriate warranty terms apply.
