[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 657954, member: 4012"] Effectively yes and if repair or replace doesn't resolve matters, eventually sellers will refund to make the problem go away. If the issues are sufficiently widespread, class action lawyers often come onboard and force a settlement on behalf of all affected buyers. Car companies have paid out big sums in Australia in recent years for selling vehicles with an established history of major defects (eg. Volkswagen). Those who tried denying liability as their strategy, have also faced large corporate fines and been required to undertake remedial training for all involved. As a buyer, your remedy is via the seller, as the action of selling an item forms a contract between buyer and seller. If there's a problem getting action from a manufacturer, that's the seller's problem, not yours. If Minelab's dealers are unhappy about being 'the man in the middle', bad luck - under Australian consumer law, that goes with the territory. [/QUOTE]
