No, in Germany the law requires _nothing_ from vendors. This two-year warranty is completely independent. In German, the law requires a so-called "Gewährleistung" which is two years like you described. This is solely the responsibility of the dealer/retailer where I bought the stuff. The vendor or manufacturer has nothing to do with it. The warranty provided by vendors (called "Garantie") is a completely different and independent thing. It's a voluntary service of vendors which the German law doesn't regulate or mandate at all. Of course, if a vendor puts it into his advertising (or his formal terms and condi- tions), it is legally binding for him. The law doesn't allow lying. ;-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
