This warranty covers any defects in material or workmanship in the new Seagate product accompanied by this warranty statement. Only consumers purchasing this Seagate product from an authorised Seagate retailer may obtain coverage under this warranty.

The warranty period is one year from the documented date of your purchase.

What Does this Warranty Not Cover?

This warranty does not cover any problem that is caused by commercial use; accident; abuse; neglect; shock; electrostatic discharge; heat or humidity; improper installation, operation, maintenance or modification; any product with removed, damaged or tampered labels; malfunctions caused by other equipment; lost passwords; or any misuse contrary to the instructions in the user manual.

Also, consequential damages; incidental damages; and costs related to data recovery, removal, and installation are not recoverable under this warranty.

What Do You Have To Do?

Seagate will not provide any warranty coverage unless your claim is in compliance with all terms of this warranty statement and you follow the proper return procedure. To request warranty service, contact an authorised Seagate service centre or refer to www.seagate.com for more information regarding customer support within your region. You may also obtain information regarding the location of authorised Seagate service centres and access a Seagate automated customer service directory by calling +1-800-SEAGATE. Callers outside the US can reach this service by dialling +1-405-324-4770. Once an authorised service centre, or Seagate, determines that repair is required, you will be prompted for your name, address, phone number, e-mail and product serial number, and then issued a Return Material Authorisation (RMA) to use when returning a product to Seagate. Any product returned to Seagate must be properly packaged in its original packaging (or packaging providing the product with protection equivalent to that of the original packaging) and shipped, with the shipping charges prepaid, to the address provided when you received your RMA. In addition to regular backups, if possible, back up your data before sending the product for repair because the product you send to Seagate or an authorised service provider may not be returned to you.

What Will Seagate Do?

If Seagate authorises you to return your product to Seagate or to an authorised service provider, Seagate will replace your product without charge with a functionally equivalent replacement product. Seagate may replace your product with a product that was previously used, repaired and tested to meet Seagate specifications. By sending a product for replacement, you agree to transfer ownership of the original product to Seagate. Seagate will not return your original hard drive to you. Data recovery is not covered under this warranty and is not part of the repair or exchange process. If you would like data recovery performed on your drive, it is available from Seagate as a separate service for an additional charge. Seagate guarantees that repaired or replaced products are covered for the greater of either the remainder of the original product warranty or 90 days. Seagate will pay to ship the replacement drive to you.

How Does State Law Apply?

The laws of the State of California, USA, govern this warranty. They give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. This warranty does not affect any additional rights you have under laws in your region governing the sale of consumer goods, including, without limitation, national laws implementing EC Directive 44/99/EC. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions in this warranty statement may not apply to you.
