ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT
IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY. YOUR PURCHASE
IS SUBJECT TO TH E TERMS OF TH IS BINDING
INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION
WAIVER AGREEMENT ( THIS “AGREE MENT”), AND
OTHER TERMS AS APPLICABLE TO PARTICULAR
PRODUCTS O R SERVICES . THIS AGR EEMENT
CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION
THAT REQUIRES THE RESOLUTION OF DISP UTES ON
AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, LIMITS YOUR ABI LITY TO
SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW, AND WAIVES
YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CL ASS ACTIONS,
CLASS ARBITRATIONS, OR A JURY TRIAL FOR
CERTAIN DISPUTES.
1. Disputes. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to a ll Disputes betwee n you and
Western Digital Technol ogies, Inc. and its affili ates (collectively, “WDT”). F or the purposes of
this Agreement and sub ject to the exceptions set forth in this Section 1, “Disp ute” shall mean
any dispute, claim, or actio n between you and WDT arising out of or relating to all WDT
products and services, including without limitation hardware and software products, this
Agreement, or other transa ction involving you and WDT, whether in con tract, warranty,
misrepresentat ion, fraud, tort, intent ional tort, statute, re gulation, ordinance, or any other legal
or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under
law. YOU AND WDT AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREE MENT
SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR WDT FOR
(A) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATIO N, (B) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (C)
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (D) TRADE MARK INFRINGEMENT
OR DILUTION. MOREOVER, NOTWITHSTANDING SECTION 6, YOU AGRE E THAT
A COURT, NOT THE ARBITRATOR, MAY DECIDE IF A CLAIM FALLS WITHIN ONE
OF THESE FOUR EXCEPTION S.
2. Binding Arbitration. You and WDT furthe r agree: (a) to arbi trate al l Disput es betwee n the
parties pursuant to the provisi ons in this agreement; (b) th is Agreement me morializes a
transact ion in int erstate co mmerce; and (c) th e Federal A rbitrat ion Act (9 U. S.C. §1, et seq.)
governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS
THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT
PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. The arbitr ator
may award you t he same damages as a court si tting in proper jur isdiction co uld, and may
award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individ ual party seeking relief and only
to the extent necessary to p rovide relief w arranted by tha t party’s indi vidual claim. In a ddition,
in some instanc es, the costs of arbitration c ould exceed t he costs of l itigation and the right to
discovery may be more limited in arb itration than in court.The deci sion of the ar bitrator shall
be final and en forceable by a ny court with juris diction over t he parties.
3. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action
in the small clai ms court of yo ur state or m unicipality if th e action is within that court’s
jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
4. Dispute Notice. In the eve nt of a Dispute, you or WDT must firs t send to the other party a
notice of th e Dispute tha t shall inclu de a written st atement that s ets forth the name, addr ess

requested (th e “Dispute Notice ”). The Dispute Noti ce to WDT must be address ed to:
Western Digital Technol ogies, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 33 55 Michelson Drive , Suite
100, Irvine, CA 92612, U.S.A. (the “WDT Notice Address”). The Dis pute Notice to you will be
sent by certifie d mail to the most recent address WDT on file or otherw ise in our recor ds for
you. If WDT and you do not rea ch an agreement to res olve the Dispute with in sixty (60) days
after the Di spute Notice i s received, you o r WDT may comme nce an arbitrat ion proceeding
pursuant to this Agreement. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of
the parties a grees to act i n good faith t o seek to res olve the Disput e before commen cing
arbitra tion.
5. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND WDT
AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAYBRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER
PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUTL IMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS
ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE
ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS AGREEM ENT, AN
ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE
PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED
PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
6. Arbitration Procedure.
If a party elects to comm ence arbitration, the arbitration shall be
governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect a t the time the arbitration is initiated (the “J AMS
Rules”), available at http://www .jamsadr.com or by calling 1-8 00-352-5267, and under the rules
set forth in this Agreemen t. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in
this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement sh all govern. You may, in arbitration, see k
any and all remedies oth erwise available to you pu rsuant to federal, state, or local laws. All
Disputes shall be resolv ed by a single neutral arbitr ator, and both parties shall hav e a reasonable
opportunity to participate in th e selection of the arbitrator. The a rbitrator is bound by the ter ms of
this Agreement. The arb itrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, sh all have
exclusive authority to resolve all d isputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability,
enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any
part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Notwithstan ding this broad delegation of a uthority to
the arbitrator, a court m ay determine the limited question of whether a claim or caus e of action is
for trade secret misappropr iation, patent infringement, copyright infringement o r misuse, or
trademark infringement or dilution, all of which are excluded fro m the definition of “Disputes” in
Section 1. The arbitrator shall be empowere d to grant whatever relief would be available in a court
under law or in equity. The arbitrato r’s award shall be binding on the part ies and may be entered
as a judgment in an y court of competent jurisd iction. You may choose to en gage in arbitration
hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not condu cted by telephone shall take place in a
location reasonably acces sible from your primary residenc e, or in Orange County, California, at
your option.
a Initiation of Arbitration Pr oceeding. If either you or WDT decides to arbitrate a D ispute,
both parti es agre e to the fol lowing pr ocedure:
(i) Write a Demand for Arbitrat ion. The demand must include a description of the
Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a
Demand for Arbitration at
http://
www.jamsadr.com (“De mand for Arbitr ation”).
(ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to:
JAMS
500 North Sta te Colleg e Blvd., Sui te 600
Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
(iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the o ther party at the same
address as the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to by the pa rties.
b Hearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that
explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During
the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by WDT or you shall not be
disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which
you or WDT is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to
the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
c Arb itration F ees. WDT s hall pa y, or (if a pplicab le) rei mburse yo u for, a ll JAMS f iling,
administra tion, and arb itrator fee s for any arbitrati on commenced (by you or WDT)
pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.
d Award in Your Favor. For Dispute s in which you or WDT seeks $75,000 or less in
damages, exclusive o f attorney ’s fees and c osts, if the arbit rator’s de cision re sults in an
award to you in an amount greater than WDT’s last written offer, if any, to settle the
Dispute, WDT will: (i) pay you $1,000 or the amount of the award, whichever is greater; (ii)
pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii ) reimburse you
for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably
accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as
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 6(d).
e Att orney’s Fees. WDT will n ot seek it s attorney ’s fees and expen ses for a ny arbi tration
commenced involving a Dispute underthis Agreement. Your right to attorney’s fees and
expenses under Section 6(d) above does not limit your rights to a ttorney’s fees and
expenses under applicable law; notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not
award duplic ative awards of attorney’s fees and expens es.
f Opt-out. You m ay elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding indivi dual
arbitration procedure and waiver of c lassand representative proceedings specified in this
Agreement by sending a written letter to the WDT Notice Address within thir ty (30) days of
your assent to this Agreement (including the purchase, download, installation or ot her use
of WDT products and servic es) that specifi es (i) your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii)
your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and
waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Agreement. In the event
that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall
continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to arbitration.
7. Severa bility. If any provision in this Agr eement is found to be unenfor ceable, that provision
shal l be s ever ed with the r em ainde r of this Agreem ent remaining in full force and effec t. The
foregoing s hall not apply to t he prohibition against class or repr esentative actions as pro-
vided in Section 5; if Section 5 (but only Section 5) is found to be unenforceable, this entire
Agreement shall be null and void.
