I've purchased over $400M in warranties in the past 5 years. At any given time I have from 3 to 7 or 8 different firms working for us, that advise us on all sorts of law. The warranties we purchase range from a few hundred dollars to 8 figures, from a year up to 20 years. I've seen all sorts of terms and requirements, from repair components to operating components to inspections and certifications for installation, etc, some cover materials only, some cover labor and materials and all of them seek to limit consequential damages, some have ridiculous hold harmless agreements (when buying fireplaces for instance). I've managed and been involved in COUNTLESS warranty and service claims and calls, ranging from very minor to some in the millions.Are you an Attorney speaking from courtroom experience?
I’m interested.
I’m not trying to be a Twat Waffle, I just know the attorney who I spoke to does not guess on facts. You may be correct since there are always two sides to every case.
But to say “That’s not true” needs some good legal basis to make that claim.

The point is, they can all stipulate whatever they want and it's up to you to sign them or don't (or attempt to negotiate, which is usually fruitless because most of a products competitors will have similar terms and obligations). Where they expose themselves to suit is when they violate the terms of their warranty or attempt to move the goal posts. NONE of them provide free operational consumables.
Dick measuring aside, take what your "friend" told you and square it against the purchase of your car. Ford dictates that you run all sorts of things in your car, from the fuel, to the oil, to the filters, to brake fluid, transmission fluid, etc. Does Ford provide all that for free?
So which do you find more likely, that your friend is mistaken, that you mistook what they said, or that a huge company like Ford just continuously runs afoul of the law across all their sales?
