All this talk about opening the little yellow tab that says "opening
will void warranty" is bollocks though, right? I'm pretty sure under
consumer law that you can't put those kinds of restrictions on a
warranty.
I think that's right. Section 71 of the Trade Practices Act provides
statutory warranties with respect to quality and fitness for purpose.
Section 68 says that these may not be excluded or modified. The
supplier would have to show that "opening" on its own rendered the
machine unfit. Doubtful.
Does that mean you are unlikely to void any statutory warranty
granted to you, but may still void any extended warranty offered by
the manufacturer?
