- Again I am not a lawyer, and certainly not an English barrister,
- but there is a major difference between free samples and a product
- that is not intended for sale. If you go beyond merchandise, just
- where do you stop? Or to put it another way, is the disclaimer at the
- bottom of my postings in violation of EC law?
-
- P. S. In the states the same sort of thing applies, but usually
- the treatment is that the implied warrant of merchantability resides
- in merchandise OFFERED for sale, whether or not actually sold. Thus
- it covers such things as consignment goods, test periods, etc.
