Justin wrote:Wow, that's quite a law. It's 3 days in America. 3 days is generally a buyer remorse period. Anything after that is the choice of the stores. 2 years is a long time... in a computer, after two years it's about out of date so in America, people would take advantage of that and exchange computers due to viruses etc., every so often. After the 3 days, the user can purchase extended warranties on just about anything.
Viruses should fall under the "sledgehammer" category as they'll say that you've been one some strange sites or whatever, as dust probably would fall under the same thing, you should have taken care of it...
So it's hard to take advanteage of it as the product have to have been flawed from when you got it... But ofcourse, sometimes an electrical product will short circuit after a long period and then the law come in handy cause the malfunction have been there all along, just haven't acted up before...
And for "warrenties", don't know if you have it in america but here we have a kind of insurance called (translated) "fumble incurance", probably not the offical name but the common one, that covers pretty much everything you own if you destroy it yourself by accident but cars, houses and other big thingys..
And for the "buyer remorse period", ours is 14days... Ofcourse there's no secret that your country is extremly capitalistic and right-winged, especially compared to our little sausage like country... Your laws are probably meant to favor the businesses while ours are meant to favor the consumer..
