Warranty period for new HW

[Derfs]

I cant speak for the rest of the EU but thats not how it works in the UK.

*edit*

I should say that what i am talking about is described in the article itself.

a-eon can give it a years manufacturers warranty, and the EU directive or sale of goods act gives consumer protection with who you bought the item from (in this case AmigaKit).

Trevor said one year warranty, as he is part of a-eon, and that is all above board.

So uhm, it's up to the customer to realize that the *true* warranty is actually 2 years?

with the sales of goods act, you can claim back on an item within 6 year (5 in scotland) of purchase, hitting certain conditions of course. would you say thats better than this EU directive?

not everyone knows all the laws of their country, and im sure there is a local equivalent of consumer advice to help everyone if they are unsure

I will now await Piru to post on any new hardware announcement if they dont specify the warranty length. i shall ignore the Ares 2011 news item.
