I am not a lawyer.

My thinking behind this is that they are protecting themselves against those 
cheap-and-nasty extension cords you get for 99c at your local supermarket. 
Cheap cables use less pure/thinner wires to save on cost. This causes them to 
heat up when put under load. This is a bad thing.

I would think that if you can demonstrate use have used a high quality 
extension cable, then you should be ok.
