SB 27 Warranty registration cards; prohibits seller from conditioning coverage or performance of warranty.
Introduced by: Linda T. Puller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Warranty registration cards. Prohibits a seller from conditioning the coverage or performance of a warranty, in connection with the sale of personal, family, or household goods, upon the purchaser's returning a warranty registration card, or from providing that the duration of a warranty is dependent upon the return of a warranty registration card. These prohibitions do not apply if the requirement that the purchaser return a warranty registration card is conspicuously disclosed in any advertising and marketing materials that reference the goods' warranty. A seller may use warranty registration cards as a suggested method of proof of the date the goods were purchased. A violation constitutes a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
