[Bitpim-devel] Warranties ...

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

If anyone is a lawyer on this list, it would be interesting to know about
this (quoted from a /. poster on inks and inkjet printers):

  The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) states:

  "No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied 
  warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such 
  product, any article or service (other than article or service provided 
  without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by 
  brand, trade or corporate name ... ." 

  Simply put, the warrantor can not void a warranty because of the use of an 
  aftermarket part. Furthermore the warrantor must show that an aftermarket 
  part caused the damage in question that they wish to void the warranty over. 
  While this act was passed to protect automotive aftermarket part 
  manufacturers I'm guessing it could be applied to this situation. Maybe 
  someone with Westlaw access could check. 

I wonder if this also applies to using BitPim with a phone?
