Not tried them personally, but if you are paying with a cc, then you have some protection from the cc company anyway, should it all go pear shaped. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

As I understand it your contract is with the retailer.

As I understand it your contract is with the retailer. FTAOD: yes, your contract is with the retailer and you have various rights under the law against the retailer; but a warranty is something over and above your legal rights against the retailer that a manufacturer may - or may not - give you. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

Yup, there is no legal requirement for the manufacturer to give you a warranty directly (they have no contract with you), however I have noted that many of the higher end brands will take on the responsibility from the retailer - presumably to not only protect their brand reputation, but also incentivise the retailers into stocking and promoting their products. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
