Under Federal LAW. I as a person or business can purchase anything from anybody that has stock, regardless of where they are. Kenwood knows this and does not push the issue. If I do not want to purchase from a local dealer (for any reason, including no reason) I can. Kenwood may not like it, but that is the LAW. They (Kenwood) can not make me purchase from a local dealer, and they must honor the warranty. The local dealer to me can refuse to honor the warranty, but not Kenwood. Charles Miller Yahoo!
