Davis - Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Lines: 33 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!!" ______________________________________________________ Quantum _\/_ | 545 Sycamore Suite 207 |Frank Kuan | |\ Duck ( 0 0) | Davis, Ca 95616 |Quantum Duck Software, | |\ \______/ / \\\ | 916-757-2925 |kuan@iris.ucdavis.edu | |\ < < | \/ |________________________|____________________________| \ \___// / Quark!
