I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Can't see why it would if the plug is correctly
fitted.

Isnt it simialr to a sticker falling off saying
"warrenty
void
if
removed". All it means is the company refused to
guarentee
something
that
could have been '****ed' with and then put back
together
so
it's
not
noticable.

I;'m not saying they are right to claim this
it';s
just
what
they
say.

It;'s similar to lifetime guarantees where the
con
is
that
you
have
to
have a reciept why ? If a product is faulty it
goers
back
to
the
manufacter for replacement NOT the store, as
where
you
brought
it
should
be irrelivant.

If a product is faulty it goes back to the store
from
which
you
bought
it.
You have no contract with the manufacturer.

A friend had a canon camecoder 500i that was sent
back
to
canon
under
guarantee
NOT to the store.

That may well be the case in that situation.

However, the legal responsibility belongs to the
merchant
it
was
bought
from.

How does a merchant know how long any product will
last
?

They dont.

They do have some idea.

Only once they have been selling them for a while and so
know what the warranty claim rate has turned out to be.

They don't need to know anything.
The manufacture warrents the product

Legally that isnt correct. Legally your warranty rights are
with who you bought it from, not the manufacturer.

what contract ?

The one referred to above.

And the retailer does need to know what the warranty
claim rate is like because there is an obvious advantage
with stuff that doesnt fail in warranty so they dont have
to fart around providing refunds or replacements and
then claiming that back from the manufacturer. That
has a real cost to the retailer, even if the manufacturer
does cover the refund or replacement.

But all warrenties deal with teh product not the person
selling
it.

Legally your warranty rights are with the operation that sold
you
the
item.

The warrenties deal with anyhting regarding a fault in
manufactiuring,
it wopn;t iusualy be the shops fault if a product goes wrong.

Irrelevant to who your warranty rights are with.

So flip flops don;t have a warrenty is that it ?

Corse they have a warranty. Its just not as long as a
laptop
has.

So what is the warrenty on flip flops ?

What is a reasonable time for it to last with the statutory
warranty.

So what does the statutory warranty say regarding flip flops ?

Same as it does with everything else, it if fails before time at
which
you can reasonably expect that type of product to last for, you
have
the right to have THE SELLER, replace it with a working product
or
give you a full refund of what you paid for that item, and in
some
jurisdictions that choice is the buyers, not the sellers.

See what the lifetime warrenty actually means.

That is just what THAT PARTICULAR lifetime
guarantee actually means and says nothing useful
what so ever about the STATUTORY warranty.
It is in ADDITION to the statutory warranty.

So no use then is it.

Corse it is if the strap pulls out of the sole
or breaks with the sole still fine and you
are in Britain so the postage isnt too bad.

for a lifetime ?

Until the sole has worn out, as it says.

Do sandels even live or have a life or is it the users lifetime ?

Until the sole has worn out, as it says.

If for example the sole of the rainbow sandal
only lasts a week with normal use being worn
about the house and work during that week, you
have the legal right to have the sandals replaced
regardless of what Rainbow Sandals say there.

Yes the warrenty sets out teh rules for replacing
things. so tell me how long this lifetime is then.

It tells you, the life of the sole in that particular case.

SO what is the life of teh sole.

Until the sole has worn out, as it says.

can you give a figure.

Obviously not, it depends on how its used.

Even you should have noticed that if you only wear it
one day a year, say to the Xmas party, it will last a tad
longer than if you deliver catalogs to letter boxes and
do that 5 days a week, for 80 hours a week.

So your lifetime ends after a few weeks of delivering such things.

Its the lifetime of the sandal, you pathetic excuse for a work bludging
troll.



So why do they only mention the sole,

Because that is what they use to determine when
the warranty stops, when the sole has worn out.

You can't even read or understand a simple guarantee !

It says precisely what I said, ****wit troll.

https://www.rainbowsandals.com/custo...ime)-guarantee

The Rainbow® Guarantee is for the lifetime of the sole. The sandals will
be eligible
for warranty until you have worn through anywhere on the top or bottom
layer of the sole.
RAINBOW® SANDALS will repair your sandals if they are damaged or defective
due to
manufacturing defects only. If your sandals are covered under our warranty
and we are
unable to repair them, we will issue a new pair.

What I said in the quoting, ****wit troll.
