Your question is really not relevant, because most companies do not restrict their behavior to the letter of the law. In other words, most are more generous and consumer friendly than is required. Bad reputations are more costly than replacing (when not required to) the odd item here and there that are out of warranty. But of course there are exceptions. Some companies (mostly retailers) are known to always accept a return of their goods anytime, no matter what condition, no questions asked. I suspect they believe the benefits of doing this far outweigh the cost. Google can help you find whatever interests you concerning the American UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). There are minor differences from place to place. I'm not sure why you would care. andynormancx;431578 Wrote: > And for the record I don't have very strong opinions on the matter, > clearly both different approaches work out reasonably ok in practice. My comment was directed at some of the earlier vitriolic posts, and my aim in making the comment before quoting your comment was to indicate I was referring to others. Sorry if that was not clear. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64114 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
