Briwall rewraps the software that people return?
Earlier, someone said that you could return any software for
any reason, for a 10% restocking fee.

As far as I know, once you break the plastic, NO software is
returnable, unless the disk is defective. It appears to me that perhaps
there is the merest possibility that Briwall is doing a no-no.
Briwall is the first place I've heard
of that will let you return opened software. Other places I've dealt
with (LightSpeed, Go-Amigo, etc) insist that they can't take back 
opened software.

Any lawyers out there want to clear this up?


Clarifications:
1. No insults to lawyers intended, although I'm sure someone will figure
   out a way to miscontrue my statement and blast me for it.
2. I am not accusing Briwall of being disreputable. I am merely questioning
   their policy of accepting returns for any reasons. I have nothing against
   Briwall, and have never done business with them.
3. I heard about Briwall's policy from a message on the net - Yes, I can
   document it and prove to everyone that I'm not just "fictionalizing" this
   to slander them.
4. Apologies to all forms of marine life for my racial slur against fish in
   the heading: "Something Fishy going on here!!"
