[QUOTE="Nick Davis, post: 125637, member: 1713"] Re: WARNING! about Behringer warranty [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]In the EU and the UK - EU Directive 1999/44/EC states that all European Union member states must allow consumers to make a claim for faulty or misdescribed goods under their consumer rights for a minimum of two years. English law already allows you to make a claim for up to six years from the date you bought the goods and for up to five years in Scotland. However there are some loopholes in this within the UK concerning burden of proof - up to 6 months this is the vendors obligation but after 6 months it is the the purchaser> "[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]For example, the plasma TV you bought five months ago stops working without explanation and you return to the shop you bought it from, expecting a refund.
