Implied warranty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australia::
In common law jurisdictions, an implied warranty is a contract law
term for certain assurances that are presumed to be made in the sale
of products or real property, due to the circumstances of the sale.
These assurances are characterized as warranties irrespective of
whether the seller has expressly promised them orally or in writing.
They include an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose,
an implied warranty of merchantability for products, implied warranty
of workmanlike quality for services, and an implied warranty of
habitability for a home.

This means even if you have 1 year warranty, then if a device fails
shortly there after, you would still have a claim.

This would save a few dollars I hope.
Now if they could only apply this to a few ISP's we may have some
defense when we tell them to go jump...


What?
